Class presentations can be nerve-racking, especially if there are a large number of people in your class. However, one of the things you can do to make sure you are prepared is finding the right outfit. Dressing up for a class presentation doesn’t necessarily have to be hard. Below, I’ve shared some tips on what to wear for class presentations plus a few sample outfits to get you started.

As a bonus, I’ve included winter coats in two of the looks, as it’s freezing outside right now and I know can be hard to find the right coat to go with a business-casual outfit!

Class presentations are a great time to test out some business casual outfits. They aren’t exactly formal (so you don’t need to go ultra conservative), but you should dress up like you’re going to an interview for a creative job or a business meeting somewhere relatively casual.

To start, I like to go with dress pants. It’s important that your dress pants aren’t skin-tight like leggings but aren’t loose like sweatpants either — fit is so key and you’d be surprised how many people get this wrong. 

You don’t have to sacrifice style to look presentable so it’s totally fine to wear a slightly trendy blouse like the one pictured above. As long as your blouse isn’t low-cut, too tight, oversized, or showing a logo, you should be good to go! A pretty blouse paired up with dress pants shows that you are presentable and conservative but also that you value your style and sense of fashion.
