Keywords:

The impact of teacher attire on aesthetic education and non-verbal communication is a theme closely tied to cultural, social, and psychological aspects, influencing the perception and interaction between educators and students. This study examines the role of teacher attire in aesthetic education, highlighting the importance of visual communication in the classroom. The research aims to determine how attire affects verbal and non-verbal communication between teachers and students, based on a survey of 100 participants. Teacher attire, as a form of non-verbal communication, plays an essential role in conveying authority, personality, and emotional warmth, all of which impact student engagement and comfort. The study underscores the psychological effects of attire on both parties, with clothing being more than a physical necessity, but a communication tool reflecting professionalism, personality, and status. Additionally, it explores the balance between traditional and modern styles in teacher dress codes, emphasizing the importance of a harmonious, aesthetic, and culturally appropriate appearance that can foster a productive and respectful learning environment. The findings highlight the need for educators to be consciously aware of their appearance, as it affects not only their professional image but also their effectiveness in conveying educational content and maintaining a positive teacher-student relationship.
