It’s almost the end of the semester, and while break is coming up, that also means final exams are approaching!

As every college girl knows, fashion is pretty much last on the list of priorities during exam time – who has time to pick out the perfect outfit when you might fail your biology final?

And that’s how it should be. When you’re in college, fashion can’t come before doing what you’re there to do — pass your classes and graduate!

That said, I’ve received lots of emails and comments from readers who want some ideas on what to wear during exam week – outfits that are comfortable, stylish, and easy to put together when you’re pressed for time.

I think I can help you guys with that. Just because you’re super busy, it doesn’t mean you have to completely abandon your style. There’s definitely a middle ground; it just takes some planning.

Here are my top tips for deciding what to wear on exam days.

Plan your outfits out in advance.

On the Sunday before exam week, put together a wardrobe full of basics for the days ahead – as if you were packing for a vacation.

Look for pieces that all go together and could be mixed and matched in a bunch of different ways. That way, when it’s time to get dressed, you just need to throw on some clothes from that pile and go ace your exam! No extra worries.

A sample “exam week clothing list” could look like this:
