What To Wear: Class Presentation

It's that time of the semester where we have to present class projects, thesis, senior assignments, and so on!

Choosing the appropriateness for your dressing choice all depends on the program you're in (e.g. Law students may be required to dress differently from a nursing or an engineering student), and the leniency of your professor.

I have created a couple of outfit inspirations that may guide you to choosing the right fit. I've also written a presentation etiquette that you should abide by, especially if your presentation is to the core.

1.
Don't be afraid to wear color.
This is something I would wear. I always stay away from your typical black on black suits.

2.
Who says you can't wear peplum on peplum?
Again, be creative with your bottom wear; unless you are told to wear a suit.
Do not overdo your accessories-it can be distracting.

3.
If you must wear a suit, make sure it's fitting.

Presentation Etiquette: 

- Study before hand; do not read directly from the screen. You want to engage your audience and show that you know what you're talking about. You may use a note card to guide you.

- Scanty slides are the best. Use pictures, diagrams, charts, and key points. There isn't any point putting every detail on your PowerPoint slides. Who wants to read all of that? Not me.

-Don't chew gum! I can't tell you the number of times students are caught chewing gum and ruin chances of a better grade for their peers. It is unprofessional!

-Restrain from "umm" and "uhh" as much as possible. Don't smack your lips either! Annoying much?

-Ladies, ladies. Refrain from wearing tight clothing. You don't want to be self conscious and loose your train of thought when all eyes are tracing parts of your body. Also, pull your hair back and out of your face.

-Be light on the make-up! Unless you're in some beauty school or something of that nature.

-Be comfortable. Wearing heels is definitely not compulsory. Flats go with any outfit choice.

Good luck with exams and all. Rock your last week of the semester!
