What to Wear for a Presentation: 10 Tips

by Rob Biesenbach | Presentation/Speech Tips

Like it or not, audiences are making all kinds of conscious and unconscious judgments about you before you even utter your first word. They’re looking for clues about whether you’re worth their attention, and most of those clues come from your appearance — your posture, your gait, your hair and, yes, your wardrobe.

So it’s really important that you set the right tone from the start, and wear clothes that make a strong first impression or, at minimum, don’t undermine you.

Here are my tips on common wardrobe pitfalls and how to avoid them..

1. Dress to Feel Good

Most of us have a go-to outfit or article of clothing like this in our closet. Choose that and you’re much more likely to feel poised and confident in front of an audience.

2. Dress to Look Good

Of course, there are reasonable limits to Rule 1. If your “feel good” clothes are the ones you wear to mow the lawn or go to the gym, that’s obviously not going to work for a big presentation.

The traditional rule of thumb is that you should dress one level above your audience. In the business casual era, that’s getting harder to figure out, but the general principle is, if your audience is wearing sport coats, you wear a suit, if they’re in khakis and button downs you put on a sport coat, etc.

And I apologize. I know these examples are completely male-centric, but that’s what I happen to be. If you’re looking for advice specific to women, there are people (women) to consult who are more qualified  than I am to weigh in on this.

The bottom line is, your wardrobe should help you project authority. You should look like you belong up there sharing knowledge with a group. So whatever level of dress you wear, from a t-shirt to suit, it should be high quality, well tailored and contemporary.

3. Dress for the Audience/Venue

Figuring out what to wear for a presentation used to be so easy. Throw on a business suit and tie (or a sharp dress or suit for women) and you were all set. But outside of a few industries, hardly anyone wears neckties these days. (And even for those professions that do, like the law, they usually dress down for conferences and similar events.)

So you want to look to your audience for context. The tech industry is a widely cited example — show up at a conference of developers in a suit and tie and you’ll be written off as old-fashioned and out of touch.

But you never know. I have one client whose people all wore suits and ties to my workshops; on the other hand, I spoke to a bunch of lawyers who were dressed in jeans.

The smart thing to do is to check with the organizers in advance and to dress with flexibility in mind so you can change things up on-site (add a tie or shed a jacket, for instance).

4. Dress for Your Brand (Who You Are)

Your clothes should match who you are. A zany creative type will probably dress in an edgy or avante garde way. A risk management consultant would look more at home in a conservative suit.

It all depends on where you “belong” — in the boardroom or the backroom.

Also, a suit and tie doesn’t have to be stodgy. A trendy outfit — slim pants, fitted jacket, narrow tie, spread collar — makes a statement of its own.

5. Avoid Brand New Clothes

Always road test your outfits before wearing them on stage. Standing in the spotlight in front of several hundred people is a terrible time to find out that your shirt has an annoying tag that chafes your neck or your pants get easily wrinkled or your fabric is more sheer than you expected.

6. Don’t Try to Be Hip if You’re Not

The latest uniform among middle-aged men seems to be jeans, sport coats and t-shirts. If you’re going to try to pull this off, here are a few guidelines:

• Invest in high quality, fashionable jeans tailored to your physique. The cool factor you’re going for will be totally undermined by “dad (or mom) jeans,” baggy, slouchy jeans, or the kind of jeans you’d wear to mow the lawn.
• Make sure you wear a blazer or sport coat that pairs well with jeans. I see a lot of guys throw on what is very obviously a suit jacket over jeans and that is wrong, wrong, wrong. Read up on the important difference between suits, sport coats and blazers.
• If you must wear a t-shirt (as opposed to, say, a button down), make sure it’s a nice one that fits well and isn’t all stretched out or faded. And if the label says “Hanes” or “Jockey” what you have is an under shirt.

7. Keep it Simple

If the audience’s main takeaway is remembering what you wore, you’re doing it wrong. Unless you have a certain brand that calls for bright red pants or a hat with a giant yellow feather, it’s best to dress simply. Avoid colors or accessories or jewelry that might distract the audience, make noise or cause a glare under stage lights.

8. Wear Something that Holds a Lavalier

The best placement for a lavalier (clip-on) microphone is centered on your upper chest. People often clip them to a lapel, but that’s a bad idea because every time you turn your head, the sound level will change.

The ideal thing to wear to accommodate a lavalier is a button down shirt (it should go near the second button) or a necktie (clip it a few inches below the knot).

For everything else, it all depends on the type of clips the AV people have and whether there are actual AV pros there at all. Do your research  or consult an AV professional (which I am NOT) if you can.

9. Double-check the Program

This is a funny one. A friend recently reported feeling chagrined to discover that the outfit she was wearing for a speech was the same appearing in her conference program photo.

I personally have given up worrying about this, as I happened to wear a favorite outfit in my headshots and I don’t have enough clothes to just stop wearing it for speeches!

But if this is an issue for you, keep it in mind. Also, it’s one more good reason to dress in something basic and neutral — either for your headshot, on stage or both.

10. Take Off That Name Tag!

Most of all, focus on what matters.

Off the top of my head I can list more than a dozen things more important to a presentation’s success than your choice of clothing: the power of your ideas, how clearly they’re structured, the energy and passion you bring to them, your connection to the audience, the way you move and gesture, and more.

Compared to all that, figuring out what to wear for a presentation seems downright trivial. But an inappropriate outfit can handicap you from the start. And the right one can make a subtle but important difference in the way you feel and the authority you project.

When it comes to presentations, the little things often add up to something big, so a few extra moments’ consideration — and some extra investment — should be well worth it.

What To Wear For A Presentation: Your Ultimate Presentation Outfit Style Guide

Table of contents.

Before you take the stage for your next presentation , let’s raid the closet and pick an outfit that will have your audience impressed and make you standout like the thought leader you are.

What you wear is important as it will have a long-lasting impression with your audience. The clothing you wear is one of the first things your audience will see and if you’re not wearing the appropriate outfit, you will not receive the appropriate reaction.

But we’re beyond judging people for what they wear, aren’t we?

Why Your Outfit Matters For A Presentation

Now, we are in a new age where judging one another for what they wear is no longer tolerated but it is embedded in our nurtured upbringing that has us forming conclusions in our subconscious before we even know it.

Psychology plays a role in presentations. Whether it’s the colors we choose for our slides, how we use our body language to communicate, the presentation aids we use and right down to clothing on our backs, each element of a presentation needs to be carefully curated for our intended audience.

What To Wear For A Casual Presentation

Let’s begin with an outfit good for any occasion.

Throughout your career, you’ll be faced with both formal and informal presentations . More often than not, you’ll be presenting more informal presentations than formal. With the frequency being higher for informal or casual presentations, we need to make sure your closet is well equipped for the occasion.

To be clear, there is nothing too defining of a casual presentation other than that the timing you have to prepare is essentially non-existent and it’s usually presented to a smaller audience. Casual presentations can spring up at any time so the outfit you wear should really reflect who you are on a regular basis.

A casual presentation outfit should be one you feel confident in. It should speak to your character and ensure that you’re not portraying to be someone you’re not. Although we prefaced earlier that your presentation outfit should be adapted to the audience you’re presenting to, it’s going to be quite difficult to do that with a casual presentation as these types of presentations just spring up.

Your natural sphere of influence will help dictate how you dress for a casual presentation as this is the audience you’ll likely be presenting to.

If you spend most of your time in an office environment, a business casual outfit might be the right outfit.

If you’re a trades professor teaching young apprentices how to master a trade, then dirty overalls might be the casual presentation outfit for you.

What To Wear For A Presentation In University

Throughout your university studies, you’ll be required to present individually and in groups from first year to your final year seminars. Depending on the class, you might even be graded on your outfit. For example, many courses in BBA programs require you to present in business formal attire as if you were out in the real world.

Depending on the class, the requirement might be different, but it never hurts to be the best dressed person in the room.

You’ll want to draw inspiration from the real word and dress either business casual or business formal.

Unlike the real world where you’ll be earning “adult money”, in university you need to be savvy on a budget. Consider shopping at chain stores like H&M and Zara where you can suits and dresses which aren’t brand names yet are still fashionable.

You’ll want to avoid anything too flashy like a red dress. Although it’s important to attract attention and keep your audience engaged, you don’t want them to be distracted with your outfit.

What To Wear For A Business Presentation At Work

You’ve graduated from university and are now working in the corporate world.

Depending on the industry you find a job in, your employer will have different dress code expectations. You’ll likely be asked to dress either business casual or business formal.

We’ve broken down the two into their own categories to help you better understand each one.

Business Casual Outfit

With most companies adopting a business casual dress code, you’ll likely be placed in a work environment that adopts a business casual outfit approach.

Business casual takes the key elements and ideas of a business formal outfit such as neutral tone colors and dress pants while getting rid of the signature elements like a suit jacket.

However, if you’d still like to add a bit of flair to your outfit, both men and women can throw a sports blazer on top and keep it unbuttoned or do up the second button to keep it interesting.

Business Formal Outfit

Business formal outfits are timeless.

For the men, a classic, old-fashioned navy suit would be your best outfit for a business formal setting.

For the women, you can’t go wrong with a skirt and a blouse. Feel free to swap the skirt with dress pants should you feel more comfortable wearing pants.

Don’t be afraid to accessorize your outfit as well. As boring as the corporate world may seem, it doesn’t have to be completely boring.

Consider adding a watch or some jewelry to add a pit of pop and personality to the outfit. They can act as great icebreakers and speaking points and also act as a sign of success.

What To Wear For A Presentation At A Conference

Depending on the conference, you’re best to wear a business casual outfit or a business formal outfit with a few exceptions.

The exceptions being modifications to your outfit depending on the venue.

Unlike a business meeting which may be done in a corporate office with standard office lighting, a presentation at a conference might have a stage, professional lighting and unique presentation aids such as green screens should the presentation be recorded for a later date.

If the venue has stage lights, avoid wearing a shiny suit. Instead, opt for a matte finish option.

If your venue has a background such as black curtains, avoid a black suit. You’ll appear to be a floating head in videos and images.

With the advancement of technology, more presentations are being held as virtual presentations . With a video conference you can get away with less by only worrying about what will be seen in the frame such as your shirt, hair or blouse.

At the end of the day, your outfit is only part of the many presentation aids you can incorporate into your presentation to make it stand out .

9 Things to Wear (and 3 to Avoid) for a Presentation

While the occasion may not come around too often, more likely than not, you’ll have to present your own ideas at work at some point. And before you’re standing in front of your bosses and colleagues sharing that business proposal or pitch, figuring out  what to wear for a presentation should be the least of your worries.

Once you’ve practiced your speech a few times and prepped the room, all that’s left is to dress the part. To take away the added stress of finding the right outfit for your big moment, we tapped Lauren McGoodwin, founder and CEO of Career Contessa , for her best advice on what to wear based on your work environment.

“When dressing for a presentation, it’s important to wear something you’re comfortable in, and something that makes you feel confident,” says McGoodwin. In a formal setting, she recommends a full suit . “I’d recommend going with a fitted black or navy suit, comfortable heel, and classic hair.”

If your office has a more creative flair, don’t be afraid to let that show through your look. “There’s room to experiment, but you still want to keep it professional with fitted pieces, such as a  colorful pencil skirt or a long-sleeve dress,” McGoodwin tells us.

Working at a startup? A casual environment still calls for a level of professionalism during certain moments, and a presentation is no exception. “Denim is pretty widely accepted in the startup environment, but keeping the professional tone, I’d recommend a  dark wash and adding a great blazer .”

McGoodwin also suggests leaving anything that restricts your ability to move at home—after all, this type of meeting requires gestures and movement in the room. She says to leave those ripped jeans, loose-fitting tops, and teetering heels at home for another time. Now, shop our favorite looks to ace your next presentation.

When working in a more formal environment, it's important to dress the part—especially when it comes to giving a presentation. Show your colleagues that you mean business with suit pieces like a blazer and tailored trousers.

Nothing says promotion like a chic power blazer. Available in sizes FR 34 to FR 42.

Dress to impress in this blazer and the matching bottoms ($50) and ace your next presentation. Available in sizes XS to XL.

In this dress, you mean business. Available in sizes 10 to 20.

If you happen to work in a more creative environment that allows a bit more sartorial freedom, let your personality shine while staying polished for your presentation. A textured skirt or pants will pair so well with an easy and chic button-down.

You'll want to wear this print all season long. Available in sizes 34 to 40.

These are so perfect for spring and summer. Available in sizes  2 to 26W .

This skirt will show just the right amount of your personality. Available in sizes 2 to 10.

Just because you work at a casual startup company doesn't mean that you have to dress the part. Stay stylish and professional with a streamlined ensemble of skinny jeans and a top with an unexpected detail.

This twist detail is so unique. Available in sizes 34 to 40.

If you're in a casual startup environment, wear these for work or for the weekend. Available in sizes 00 to 24.

These jeans are so flattering. Available in sizes 24 to 33.

With these pieces, you’ll be sure to command the room the next time you’ve got a presentation in the books.

How to Dress for a Presentation: Everything You Need to Know

Updated: Nov 13, 2023

You're standing in front of a room full of people. All eyes are on you.

Presenting to a group of people can be challenging even for seasoned presenters, but get it right and they can open up a world of opportunities. Yet your content isn't the only thing that needs to be valuable and on point when you are on stage speaking.

Your visual presentation, including your personal style and clothing, also needs to be spot on. Why?

First and foremost it's for confidence.

For most people, being in front of a room full of people can be incredibly nerve wracking. Wearing a well-considered outfit that makes you look and feel professional helps to boost your confidence and give you a sense of presence.

The audience will immediately see and sense this, and that helps give you credibility.

People will start to judge you as soon as you walk onto a stage or are standing in front of a group of people. They will be wondering if you are worth their attention and forming their first impression of you. This gives you a golden window of opportunity to influence the audience's assumption of you, establish your authority and give them confidence in what's to come.

So, what should you wear on stage when speaking?

First things first, you need to think about the type and style of event.

How many people are you presenting to?

Is it a day or night time event?

Where is the event being held?

Will there be other presenters?

Who are you presenting to?

Knowing the above information first is key to helping you select the right outfit that will support your personal brand image.

Major conferences will often provide dress guidelines for presenters and tend to prefer clean, tailored designs, although this can depend on industry (i.e the technology industry is well known for being very casual; the arts industry is much more creative and fashion forward).

If you are speaking at a major conference and aren't provided any guidelines, don't be afraid to ask what is preferred and/or expected.

Have a look at past conference photos to get a feel for the event, and the audience. If these aren't available, ask the event organiser for the information and then aim to dress at least one level up from your audience to position yourself with authority.

Below are some example outfits that are professional and contemporary, and work well for speaking engagements for female professionals and leaders.

Notice that items are clean with classic/contemporary lines and with pops of colour. This ensures that you stand out, without being too distracting for your audience.

What should you wear if your event is virtual?

A business smart casual look is usually best for virtual events. This maintains a sense of professionalism while not feeling too overdressed for an online forum.

If you're a female professional or leader, smart blouses and shirts work well. If you'd like to add another layer of authority, you can opt for a blazer.

You also need to consider the background of your Zoom call or video conference. You want to make sure your outfit doesn't blend in too much with your background.

If you'd like more tips around dressing for virtual events, head to my post What To Wear When Presenting Online .

What colour should you wear for a presentation?

I always recommend to wear colour when speaking on stage. This is a time when you want to stand out and the easiest way to do this is through the use of colour.

The only exception to this would be if black (or another neutral colour) is one of your BEST colours and there is some design element to the outfit which adds a point of interest and prevents it from looking flat.

But keep in mind that colour is always far more interesting than a neutral outfit and it makes you far more memorable.

Choose a colour that really flatters you – a professional colour analysis is invaluable to helping you understand the exact tones and shades that make you look your best.

Different colours will transmit different messages, so decide what you want your outfit to say and how you want to be perceived:

Red stimulates the physical senses and can be worn to feel confident and to attract attention. A red dress will say ‘I am here’. Red projects authority and can be worn to show you are in control.

Blue is the most universally liked colour, so it is a safe colour and is ideal in serious, formal settings. It indicates confidence, reliability, trust and tranquility.

Pink is a good colour to relax tense relations and generate sympathy as it's calm and feminine. The colour of hope, it inspires positive outcomes and is non threatening. It's perfect for an elegant tea time. Too much bright pink can create a childish image but it can be combined with darker shades for more sophistication and strength.

Orange relates to social communication. It is physically and mentally stimulating and gets people thinking and talking. Wear orange to feel positive and uplifted. However its not recommended to wear too much orange in formal or elegant settings as orange can also transmit superficiality.

Yellow can awaken greater confidence, enthusiasm and optimism. It can uplift our spirit, and those around us, quickly. Be cautious in very sunny places when the colour can appear electric in bright light.

Purple is a sophisticated colour, associated with diplomacy, luxury and royalty. It usually communicates the finest possible quality, however the wrong tone of purple can appear cheap and nasty, faster than any other colour. It indicates creativity and spirituality.

Green is an emotionally positive colour, synonymous with tranquility and strongly connected with nature. It will help sustain a good mood within yourself and your surroundings.

Choose solid colours or a simple pattern or print but avoid really fussy or large prints, which will only distract your audience from the message that you are trying to get across.

What styles of clothing are best?

Your clothing should fit well and be contemporary, without being too fashion forward. Clean lines and tailored pieces of clothing will help to position you as professional and credible.

Great options include:

A pencil or tailored A-line skirt and blouse

A shift dress with a blazer

A wrap dress

A pant suit

Pants and a blouse

Along with your clothing, be sure to consider your grooming. You hair, skin, nails and makeup should also look smart and professional and complete your look.

Your best outfit for public speaking i s something that you feel comfortable and confident in. Always prepare your outfit prior and road test it. By that I mean walk around it and make sure you can move freely and comfortably. I also recommend taking a quick video of yourself. Testing your outfit first means that you'll avoid any fashion faux pas's on stage - such as perspiring in non-breathable or heavy fabrics, wearing fabrics that crinkle easily or are too sheer or too tight. All of these will be magnified ten fold when you have a spotlight on you.

White and black seems to be the perfect combo ever. It will give you the professional look that you are going for.

Put on a white blazer and chunky boots to elevate the outfit. You can also let your hairs fall on your shoulder.

2 – Blue Skirt + Printed Blouse

We all want to look our best on the day of the presentation, and this look is perfect for making an impression. This outfit gives off a vibe that you have all sorted out and are ready to ace the presentation.

1 – All White + Blazer

We all know how white is the color of purity but also confidence. To achieve this look, put on a white t-shirt with tight pants. You can experiment with the coat but make sure that the patterns are not complex and blend with the outfit.

Add some accessories, and you are ready to dominate.

Q : Should we go for patterned outfits during class presentations?

A : Yes, you can go for patterned outfits, but the main thing is that you should not bring distractions to the stage. Avoid patterns that are complex and distract the audience. You should design your outfit in a way that helps the audience to focus on your words and not on your dress. Also, try to avoid patterns that make you blend with the background. Go for patterns that are simple, minimal, and easy on the eyes.

Q : What type of clothes one should wear when presenting their topic in class?

A : It is better to go for pants, suits, skirts, and dresses. These dresses will give you a formal look with a blend of casual as well. You should go for these as it leaves a good impression. One more thing to notice is to for an outfit that provides you the perfect fitting.

How To Choose A Perfect Presentation Outfit: Best Step-by-Step Guide in 2024

Jane Ng • 08 April, 2024 • 5 min read

As Jean Cocteau, a French writer, designer, playwright, artist, and filmmaker, stated, "Style is a simple method of conveying complex ideas." Undeniably, a person's choice of clothing can significantly impact the perception they create, making it a formidable tool for communication.

So, if you wish to make a strong impression on your audience, the following presentation outfit  tips can assist you in appearing confident and “shining” when you take the stage to speak.

Humans are creatures easily impressed by appearance, so your presentation outfit will determine your first impression on your audience. 

Furthermore, it brings personal benefits as it reflects your professionalism, confidence, and competence . A well-groomed and appropriate outfit can boost your self-assurance and comfort, which leads to an improved presentation.

For example, wearing a suit and tie to a business presentation shows that you take the event seriously and well-prepared. On the other hand, wearing casual and wrinkled clothes can show your lack of professionalism and attention to detail. It can reduce the weight of your words.

Moreover, the way you dress can also affect your self-perception. Don't limit yourself to dull, everyday outfits. Choosing the right costume for your presentation can be a valuable investment in enhancing your success as a speaker.

Here are some tips on how to choose the perfect presentation outfit:

1/ Know Your Audience

A beautiful outfit is not only because of the design but also depends on the wearer choosing the right situation and suitable for their audience. 

Whether you're presenting in a class or a corporate meeting, it's essential to identify your audience. 

• For example, a suit and tie may be appropriate for a formal business presentation, while a more casual, creative gathering may allow for a more relaxed look.

Besides, you should wear clothes with light or neutral colours, limiting cumbersome designs or patterns.

2/ Dress for your body type

An outfit that is too wide or too tight not only does not enhance the beauty of your body but also makes you look sloppy and less confident when appearing in front of a crowd. By determining the right body type, you will have the right clothing choices: 

• If you have a slender figure, consider wearing clothing made from lightweight, flowing fabrics to add volume to your frame.
• On the other hand, if you have a full frame, minimalist designs in structured and firm materials will be your best bet.

If you’re unsure what looks best, try a few options and see what feels the most comfortable and confident.

3/ Choose the right colors

Color plays a significant role in creating a visual impression on others. For this reason, it's best to choose neutral hues that evoke a warm and welcoming vibe, such as navy blue, white, pink, and soft pastel tones. 

These shades are versatile and suitable for a range of events, skin tones, and personal preferences. They are considered to be approachable and work well for many people.

4/ Pay attention to details

When putting together a presentation outfit, it's essential to pay attention to even the smallest details. Here are some things to keep in mind when it comes to the details of your presentation outfit:

• Cleanliness. Make sure your outfit is clean and free of any stains or spills. 
• Free of wrinkles. A well-pressed outfit is a sign of attention to detail and professionalism. Ensure your clothes are free of wrinkles and creases and that your collars, cuffs, and hemlines are neat.
• Accessories. Choose accessories that complement your outfit and do not overpower it. Stick to a simple and understated look to avoid distractions.
• Matching. Make sure that your accessories match your outfit in style and colour. 

5/ In conclusion, be yourself 

It's crucial to remember that following these tips doesn't mean much if you're dressing in a way that feels unnatural to you. If you have a creative personality, showcase it through your outfit choice. 

For example, if you feel that wearing bold and striking colors will enhance your presentation, then wear bold and striking colors.

Keep in mind that the content of your presentation and the way you introduce yourself are the most critical factors. However, confidence can significantly impact the overall outcome of your performance. The way you dress and how you feel about it affects your true self, so choose an outfit that makes you feel confident.

In conclusion, the biggest takeaway is that confidence and staying true to your personal style is the best outfit you can wear. Everything else is secondary. So, focus on feeling confident, and the rest will fall into place.

Final Thoughts 

Finding the perfect presentation outfit on the first try is difficult. If you are confused, you can consult with friends or find inspiration from the star, a fashionista with the same body shape and pursuing the style you love. Remember to be honest with yourself. What are your strengths and weaknesses? What impression do you want to leave the audience? Once these questions are answered, finding the perfect outfit won't be too far off the mark.

Dress the Part: 5 Fashion Tips for Business Presentations

You only get one shot to make a first impression.

When all eyes are on you, you want to look presentable and professional in your audience’s eyes. Choosing the right attire engages your audience because it makes a statement about you and your purpose.

Here are important things you should consider when dressing up for that important event. [sg-blog-modules module=two]

Match the Situation

This is not the time for pulling off your personal fashion statement.

When deciding on an outfit for your business presentations, note its level of formality to decide where you should be on the casual-to-formal scale.

Keep any local customs in mind. You don’t want to be overdressed, but you also don’t want to offend by being underdressed.

Consider Your Audience’s Wardrobe

According to serial entrepreneur, Adam Toren, a little research always comes in handy in gauging how to dress in front of your audience. Always dress slightly better than the people you’re addressing.

If you’re delivering a presentation to executives, you can do no less than wear your best suit or finest dress. When speaking to a group in a casual setting, smart casual will do.

Just don’t overdo it or you’ll seem inept or out of touch with your audience.

Prioritize Comfort

Looking good is only the beginning. Conveying your message through body language is an important aspect of public speaking.

It’s hard to perform hand gestures or even stand when you’re wearing something uncomfortable.

How you dress affects how you’re perceived by your audience. To be an effective communicator, never compromise style over comfort so you can express yourself freely.

Avoid Bright Colors or Distracting Prints

The ball is always in the presenter’s court to keep the audience engaged . Your professional dress doesn’t have to be boring, but it also shouldn’t be distracting.

Don’t wear clothes with bright colors or distracting prints or logos.

Solid pastel colors are a safer bet over intricate patterns, especially when you’ll be recorded on video. Black and white is guaranteed to make you look professional without distracting your audience.

When worn well, simple clothes can make a better impact than flashy clothes.

Focus on the Fine Details

Closely inspect your clothes for even the smallest things like a missing button or a loose thread.

When presenting, a smaller group of people may notice it more quickly. A more intimate setting leaves you more open to close scrutiny.

Do one final check before leaving your room. Sometimes, you won’t notice a flaw until everyone else has.

First impressions last. The way you dress up takes up half of your presentation.

Take time to prepare your business attire and realize the unspoken language it delivers. Adapt to a mode of dressing that accentuates your style while recognizing its possibilities and limitations.

Perfect Presentations: What Not to Wear

How to dress for credibility, while remaining true to yourself.

What to wear for a perfect presentation? As you design and polish your speech, developing visual aids and handouts, this question may fall into the background until dangerously close to the presentation. Suddenly, you look up: “Yikes! What am I going to wear?”

Your appearance impacts your credibility as a speaker. Don’t leave it to chance, and don’t wait until the last minute to decide what to wear. Just think of preparing your appearance as part of your overall speech preparation. Here are my favorite, possibly competing, guidelines:

• Stay authentic.
• Dress like your audience- but one step better.

Stay Authentic: Within reason, your attire must express who you are. If you feel like you’re wearing someone else’s costume, your verbal message may not ring true.

Dress Like Your Audience, But One Step Better: Appearing similar to, but slightly more dressed up than your listeners conveys respect both for them and for your subject. It enhances your credibility.

Use these five tips as a guide to dressing for credibility, while remaining true to yourself.

1.  Wear well-made and well-maintained clothing.

Granted, no one will be checking your clothing’s seams or labels. But image consultants counsel that your audience can tell if you’re wearing a cheaply made dress or suit. You can probably feel it, too. Whether you choose to look conservative or creative, wear well-made clothing made from high-quality fabric. Avoid linen and other easily-wrinkled material.

2.  Pay attention to details.

Even if your audience won’t see your shoes, make sure they are polished and that the heels are secure. Men should have a recent haircut and trimmed facial hair. Search for loose threads or inopportune gaps between buttons.

3.  Wear your “Confident Clothes.”

Wear something that makes you feel sprightly and energized. This could mean sticking to the tried-and-true, so long as it’s one step above your audience and expresses your personality. Use a solid color that suits you near your face. (How do you know which colors suit you? Ask one of your color-savvy friends.)

4.  Make sure it’s comfortable.

You are NOT allowed to tug at or re-arrange your clothes while presenting. Wear your outfit around the house a few days before your presentation to ensure that you can move comfortably. Then put your outfit aside, including all underwear, jewelry and shoes, and go back to prepping your speech.

5. Dress to look taller.

Consider wearing a solid color for both pieces of your outfit. This will help you appear taller and help you tap into the “Intensified You.”

So—to pull together both my responses to the question “What should I wear?” I leave you with these words: Let your personality shine through even as you “fit in” with each specific audience.

What to Wear for a Presentation

Anyone familiar with the art of delivering presentations already knows that structuring your ideas in the presentation slides, your passion for your subject matter, your body language while presenting, among other things like presentation training , matter a lot. However, it’s just as important to choose the right outfit for your presentation. 

As soon as you start presenting, your audience is unconsciously looking for tiny hints about whether you are worth their undivided attention or not – and more often than not, they pick these clues from your appearance. This is why it’s important that you wear clothes that make a solid first impression on your audience or, at least, doesn’t let them undermine you for the rest of the presentation.

Having said this, it may seem trivial to go through your wardrobe trying to figure out what to wear for a presentation. To help our readers, our presentation experts came up with a bunch of useful tips to guide you in the right direction and avoid potential mistakes. Interested? Keep reading!

Top 5 Tips on What to Wear for a Presentation

Tip #1. Dress Appropriately for the Audience

Unfortunately, dressing for a presentation isn’t as easy as throwing on a business suit and tie, even if you are a lawyer that wears it for work, on a daily basis.

Having said this, a bright solid outfit is far less likely to clash with your audience or colleagues. On the other hand, if you work at a startup that supports a casual environment, you can wear denim, but make sure you still keep the professional tone by getting something with a dark wash and complement it with a nice blazer.

Tip #2. Keep the Venue in Mind

It goes without saying, but your outfit should complement the space. It’s always a nice idea to get an idea of the colour scheme of the venue you are presenting at, beforehand, and then pick your outfit accordingly. 

Tip #3. Find an Outfit that Suits the Branding of Your Organisation

If you are delivering a presentation on behalf of your company, your outfit should reflect the branding and values of your organisation. For example, it may seem inappropriate to dress up in jeans and a t-shirt, in case you are representing a law firm.

Tip #4. Stay in Your Comfort Zone

By all means, you should dress up for the presentation. However, you should also try to stay in your comfort zone. Pick something you will find comfortable to wear. Most of us already have a go-to outfit or dress like this sitting in our closet. If it suits the venue, audience, and the event, you should go for it, since it will make you look confident in front of the audience.

Tip #5. Keep it Simple

It’s best to dress simply, unless you have requirements that state otherwise. Avoid accessories or colour patterns that might distract the audience. Sticking to dark colors, simple shapes, and smooth lines work the best in most cases. Keep in mind that the key takeaway for your audience should be the ideas you present to them and not remembering what you wore during the presentation.

• Avoid Brand New Clothes

It’s always best to test your outfit, before actually wearing it on stage.

• Don’t Go for an Outfit That Doesn’t Suit Your Personality 

Going for the “cool factor” isn’t always a great idea, if it doesn’t make you feel comfortable in front of your audience.

• Consult with the Event Organisers

Check with the organisers in advance, to understand what kind of outfits would be more appropriate for the occasion.

• Keep Several Options to Choose From

Keeping flexibility in mind, pick more than one outfit to wear on the D-day, just in case you would want to change things up a bit, at short notice.

Final Thoughts

When it comes to delivering presentations, all the little things matter. Some extra consideration and investment into choosing the right outfit can go a long way towards influencing your audience and improving the results you get. Having said this, you should still focus on other things that matter the most, from presentation design and content to your body language and delivery.

How to Dress for a Presentation? The Ultimate Guide for Men

Are you wondering how to dress for a presentation? As a former student who just recently finished business school I’ve had my fair share of presentations. 

Throughout the years, I’ve been complimented on my style when it comes to presentation day as I’ve figured out some tricks to really elevate my look. 

What to Wear for a Presentation for Guys

For presentations, dressing business casual is the most appropriate way to dress. This can mean anything from a nice suit to a pair of dark jeans and a collared shirt. By dressing in business casual attire you’ll look professional, but not like you’re going to attend a wedding. Finding that sweet spot where you’re not under or over dressed is really important.

In this post, I will be sharing men’s presentation outfit ideas as well some important tips on how your clothing can you feel more comfortable and confident during your presentation. You’ll also find out what to avoid so you look your best.

Men’s Presentation Outfit Ideas

Tops, Shirts and Sweaters

The basics:

When going for a business casual look, you have a couple great choices.

A polo shirt is a casual top for a presentation and it will be comfortable. I would recommend choosing a simple color like white or navy blue depending on the pants you plan on wearing. This will be a simple shirt but often simple looks the best.

A white dress shirt with a distinct pattern is a great choice when dressing business casual. If you get a nice fitting dress shirt it will make you look very sharp. Many people will stick to wearing polo shirts when presenting so wearing a dress shirt will make it look as if you put more effort into your outfit.

Elevate your look:

If you want to elevate your look you can add a sports jacket or blazer to your outfit. Wearing a blazer will make you look more formal and put together. If that’s the look you are going for, it’s the perfect item to add to your outfit. Keep it mind you may get hot during your presentation wearing a sports coat, so choose your fabric wisely.

Chinos are the perfect presentation pants. I recommend either navy blue or khaki as they will go with almost any shirt color you choose. A white dress shirt and navy blue chinos will make a great business casual outfit.

If you prefer to wear dress pants those work well too. Dress pants will give a more formal look, however do be careful not to look overdressed if you’re in a college or casual workplace setting.

If you don’t have any of the pants I mentioned, black jeans will do in a pinch. If that’s all you got, just make it work! It’s not always about having the nicest clothes but it’s how you wear them.

Black dress shoes are perfect for presentations. If you want to dress business casual, classic black dress shoes are a wardrobe staple and must have. They always look good and are so versatile that you can wear them anywhere.

Brown dress shoes are also a great shoe to wear for presentations. I would recommend wearing these with the blue chinos as blue and brown go really well together when it comes to clothing.

If you like loafers they will give you a more stylish look. Many people will present in classic dress shoes. However, if you want to look good as well as stand out, a nice pair of loafers with the right pants will look great.

Clothing Accessories

A watch it an important accessory to wear with your presentation outfit. A smart watch or a watch with a leather strap will look great for the business casual look and it will add to your outfit. A gold or silver watch it’s perfectly fine, however don’t wear something that’s overly flashy.

Wearing a belt is a must. Make sure you the belt is the same colour as your shoes. It will make your look a lot sharper than having a different shoe colour than your belt.

What to Avoid Wearing For Presentations

Flashy Colours

When presenting it’s a good idea to avoid wearing flashy colours. Wearing bright pink, green, yellow or tie-dye should absolutely be avoided, as you don’t want to distract from your message and presentation.

Save the fun and more outlandish outfits for other occasions and look professional for presentations.

Additionally, if you tend to sweat, avoid grey and other colours that will make it obvious that you are sweating.

Baggy Clothing

Avoid baggy clothing! Clothing should fit well and never be too tight or too baggy.

Ripped Clothing

Ripped clothing looks great when you’re going to a party, but not so much for a presentation. Remember, you want to dress business casual which requires a clean and sharp outfit.

Dirty Clothes

Always avoid wearing dirty clothes. If your shirt is dirty it will be very noticeable when presenting so do your best to keep your nicer clothing clean and ready to wear in your closet.

If you happen to get a small stain on your shirt, using a stain removal stick like Tide to Go is a good temporary solution.

Flashy Jewelry

When presenting there’s nothing wrong with some wearing some nice accessories. However, you’ll want to avoid wearing super flashy jewelry. A shiny gold watch, or huge chain or diamond necklace could be distracting when you present. Wearing some simple jewelry is best for presentations.

Can I Wear Sneakers for a Presentation?

No, sneakers are way too casual for presentations. Instead, you can wear dress shoes or loafers, which are the appropriate style and look you want.

Do I Need to Wear a Tie For a Presentation?

If you’re making a presentation at work where suits are often worn, like in finance, then you may want to wear a tie. However, the current style is wearing a suit and dress shirt and leaving the top button open, without a tie.

Always make sure you know what your audience and peers expect. These days, in most settings you probably can skip a tie.

Should I Wear a Shirt Tucked or Untucked for a Presentation?

When it comes to dressing for a presentation, you can decide on tucking your shirt in based on what you are wearing and your personal style.

If you are wearing a dress shirt, tucking it in will look more professional. If you are wearing a collared t-shirt you can wear it untucked.

At the end of the day, wear your shirt the way you think you look your best and feel comfortable.

Being comfortable in the clothes that you are wearing is really important. If you show up to the presentation and your shirt collar is irritating you, it will bother you while presenting.

It’s important to try on your outfit in advance and make sure that you are comfortable.

When choosing shoes, make sure they are comfortable and not too tight. Often times, dress shoes or loafers can give you blisters, especially if it’s the first time that you are wearing them.

If you have to wear the shoes all day, you won’t regret investing in good quality shoes that are comfortable.

When shopping for clothes be patient and choose clothes that fit your body well. If you choose something just because it’s business casual or it looks good on the manaquin, it doesn’t mean that it will look good on you.

The fit of your clothing will go hand and hand with how confident you feel in your outfit.

Wearing cologne is a small detail that can greatly improve your appearance. Smelling good will enhance your look and having a nice scent will make it seem as if you put more thought into your outfit.

Make sure to not over do it on the cologne. Wearing too much cologne can be a distraction from the presentation which is something you seriously want to avoid.

Wearing an outfit that fits you nicely, is comfortable and that you know makes you look good will make you instantly more confident.

When it comes to presenting, confidence is key and it all starts with the clothes you are wearing. It’s important to be confident during your presentation as it will make your presentation go a lot smoother.

Final Thoughts

In this article we’ve gone over what clothing to wear for a presentation, as well as tips to make you look and feel confident. Good luck on your presentation!

2018 Update: We still stand by this advice for what to wear for a presentation or TV appearance — but you may also want to check out our most recent discussion on what to wear for public speaking . 

What should you wear when you're the star of a corporate presentation, or making a TV appearance for something job-related? This can be a bit different than what to wear for a conference or for interview attire , to say the least, and while we've talked about HD makeup for video interviews , we've never answered this specific question. So I've brought back Sally McGraw, the blogger extraordinaire behind Already Pretty , who does regular TV appearances — she's guest posted before for us on power dressing for yourself , as well as letting us excerpt her book, Already Pretty: Learning to Love Your Body by Learning to Dress it Well . Welcome back, Sal! – Kat.

I'm a ham. Happy to admit it. I landed my first lead role in a play at the ripe old age of 10 and have been performing onstage ever since. I may have shifted from drama to music and now to television appearances and lectures, but it's all performance-related and even after all these years I still get a little jittery every time I walk onstage.

So I know from personal experience how important it is to nail my look before the audience begins to applaud or the camera turns my way. I want to be totally focused on my message and avoid fidgeting and fussing with my outfit at all costs. And, of course, I want to look my best. Here are some guidelines to help you look your best before an audience:

What to Wear For a TV Appearance

Some TV spots will be filmed on location or outside, others in a studio, so it can be difficult to generalize … but allow me to generalize anyway.

Do a touch more makeup than usual, but just a touch: Lights and cameras can be harsh on many complexions, but we are also living in an HD world, friends, so no need to apply with a trowel. I recommend using something to even out your complexion – be it foundation, BB/CC cream, or tinted moisturizer – as well as undereye concealer and powder to lighten and brighten. If you wear these daily, apply as usual and don't add extra layers or a bunch of bronzer – better to look a little washed-out than overly made-up.

Blush will prevent you from looking ill, so do include it. Sweep on a tiny bit more than usual, but make sure it's well blended and not too streaky or obvious. Shadow, eyeliner, and mascara will make your eyes pop, but sticking to neutrals and smoky colors is wise since bright eye makeup can be distracting. Definitely add lip color but avoid super-bright and super-dark shades like fiery reds and deep purples. Instead try pinks, berries, and dusty corals, or anything that is just a bit brighter or darker than your natural lip color.

Clean lines read best: Anything with lots of ruffles, embellishment, or volume will likely look a bit messy. Blazers are better than cardigans; ponte is better than fluid jersey. Structured garments with clean lines will make you appear professional and pulled-together. Do your best to be wrinkle-free, but understand that you'll be moving around and some creases are totally natural.

Jewel tones are always a good idea: This palette works for virtually all skin tones from pale to dark brown and reads beautifully on camera. Jewel tones are rich without being bright and add color without being overbearing. And you can do multiple jewel tones in a single outfit! Find the shade that works best for your complexion and wear it next to your face, ideally in a solid. If you want to add a neutral to the mix, go for gray.

Avoid small, regular patterns: Although issues with moiré are more common in still photography, tiny, regularly patterned clothing can be a little dizzying onscreen, especially black and white. I generally prefer solids for television, but if you opt for a pattern, try for a medium-sized one and ideally one with blurred edges, a watercolor feel, or an abstract design. This creates a more natural overall look.

Black and white sparingly: Neither is particularly flattering for most complexions, and both can cause odd contrast issues with certain camera equipment. Black can work in a skirt or pant, but try for jewel tones and grays instead if you can.

Minimal accessories: Long, dangly earrings and clattering bangles can be very distracting, as can oversized scarves, wild hosiery, and piles of necklaces. Make one accessory your focal point and keep others to a minimum. Feel free to do a scarf or statement necklace, but pair with studs and a simple watch or bracelet. The fewer shiny objects and moving parts, the better.

What to Wear for a Presentation or Seminar

My guidelines are mostly the same for presenting to a live audience instead of speaking on-camera, but there are a few important differences to note:

Pattern in small doses : If you're pacing back and forth on a large stage in front of dozens of people, an outfit that is mainly solids will be less distracting than one with gobs of prints. Patterned shoes or a scarf will work beautifully, as will a patterned blouse peeking out from a suit jacket. But now is not the time to show off your print-mixing prowess.

Bolder accessories can work: Don't go overboard, but you can be a bit more adventurous than you would be on-camera, especially if your audience is both large and physically distanced from you. Statement necklaces are great and you can venture into cuff bracelets and larger earrings if you're so inclined. Careful, though, that you don't overdo the sparkly: If your accessories glint in the stage lights as you move, that can be irritating.

Be comfortable: You're gonna be the main attraction for quite a while, so don't wear a stiff, confining blazer or a dress that makes you self-conscious about your butt. Pick clothes and accessories that feel good. Anything that pulls, pinches, or subdivides won't be flattering or comfortable, and anything fussy will just distract you.

What to Wear For a Small Group Presentation

With a smaller audience, more tweaks can be made, including: Regular makeup: For TV and large groups, kick it up. If it's just you and six colleagues in a conference room, regular makeup is fine.

Wear your favorite colors and patterns: Guidelines are much looser with small groups, so feel free to be a bit more creative. However, bear in mind that structure and clean lines will always help you look authoritative and that wearing a color that works with your complexion is always wise.

Do your nails: With a smaller audience, your hands will be visible as you gesture. Don't feel like you need to get a professional manicure, but make sure your nails are neat and tidy – either freshly polished or polish-free, as well as clean and trimmed.

Test your outfit noise level: Necklaces, bracelets, and earrings can all jingle. Some shoes squeak. Walk around the room once and make sure you aren't making any distracting noises with your wearables.

What to Wear For Any Professional Appearance

Assemble and try on your outfit the night before: Dressing for a media appearance or presentation takes some serious planning and forethought, so don't leave it till the morning of. Pull the pieces together and try them on, down to shoes and accessories. Photograph the outfit if you're not sure and get a second opinion. That way, once you're onstage or on-screen you can focus 100% on your performance and forget all about what you're wearing.

Wear comfortable shoes: Doesn't matter if you think you'll be standing stock still the entire time. Foot discomfort can be incredibly distracting, so pick a pair you know will keep your toes happy.

My weekly TV spots require me to wear something related to the topic at hand, so I can't always follow my own guidelines. For instance, in the screenshot at the top of this post I'm in mint green because we were talking pastels. But you'll notice I did simple but interesting accessories, clean lines, nothing jingly, and gray as my neutral. My makeup is simple but flattering, I opted for solids instead of patterns, and stuck with structured but comfortable clothing.

Presentations and media appearances are great for your resume and can be incredibly fun and exhilarating, but figuring out what to wear can feel stressful. Hopefully these guidelines will be helpful as you plan for future TV spots and seminars.

I'd love to hear additional tips from you presentation pros! What would you add? How do you dress for television, large group, and small group appearances?

Here’s a very important tip: do not wear any green or blue if there will be any greenscreen or bluescreen composition effects (such as a virtual set) applied to the video.

If you wear green in front of a greenscreen, you’ll literally blend into the background.

06/20/2014 at 4:11 pm

Likewise if you’re giving a talk in a dark auditorium, don’t wear a solid black top. Your torso will blend into the darkness and your head will appear to be floating.

Remove everything from your pockets. I’m more often on the end of taking photos rather than video, but it’s shocking how often this simple tip is overlooked.

I would LOVE to be on TV. I think I would like to get some exposure for my legal carreer, and if I was able to get on to TV, I could advertise the firm. The manageing partner said he is thinking of making a TV ad and if he doe’s, he want’s me to be the lead speaker. YAY!!!

06/19/2014 at 3:20 pm

Thanks for this post. Very practical. I am bookmarking it.

06/19/2014 at 4:09 pm

For big audiences or on-camera appearances, be prepared to wear a wireless microphone. This affects your outfit in several ways: (1) choose a neckline or lapel that you can clip the mike onto. You don’t want to wear something so light that the weight of the mike causes a wardrobe malfunction (or just messing up the lines of your outfit). (2) choose clothes with a belt or waistband that you can clip the battery/transmitter pack onto. Again, consider the weight. You don’t want it pulling your skirt/pants down. Or, wear something with a pocket you can tuck the pack into (again, without the weight causing problems). (3) choose necklaces, brooches, scarves, etc. that won’t snag on the mike. (4) don’t wear any accessories that jingle or clatter, because the noise will be picked up and amplified.

06/19/2014 at 7:14 pm

You beat me to it! :) And I’d add “ask in advance what the a/v situation will be, because lavalier vs podium mic may affect your wardrobe choices”.

If you’re making a TV appearance with male colleagues, remind them that they may be asked to have make-up applied! Watching my uni friend who plays American Football (big, northern, very muscular) being powdered before we went on University Challenge (A bit like College Bowl, I think – inter-university televised quiz show) was a funny experience…

06/20/2014 at 4:40 pm

I don’t think that Sally McGraw is an expert on any appropriate attire. I’ve seen her outfits online, and they’re dated and unprofessional. She certainly isn’t Stacy London, who always looks classy and sophisticated. I think that Sally needs a few lessons on “What Not To Wear” on TV.

06/20/2014 at 7:18 pm

Has this blogger actually watched her own segments? I think media coaching would help her a great deal. She bobs her head, twitches her shoulders and has a number of nervous mannerisms. Her outfits are sometimes quite odd.

06/20/2014 at 8:21 pm

I adamantly agree, and that was part of my point. I’ve also watched her TV segments, and she comes across as unconfident and slightly strange. In addition to her “odd outfits,” she doesn’t appear as a credible stylist. I’m an East Coast attorney, and I’d never follow any of her advice. If I did, I’d lose potential clients and perhaps, even my position.

06/20/2014 at 9:28 pm

I’ve seen her segments before, and I think the female anchor who she does the segments with is almost always dressed much better. I’d rather see her version of this article!

06/20/2014 at 10:00 pm

That’s an excellent idea. I’ve noticed that the anchor tries not to wince, whenever Sally makes a stupid statement. I recently wrote to the station, and suggested that they hire another local stylist. I’d even volunteer my grandmother. Although she’s in her eighties, her sense of style is much more sophisticated than Sally’s.

06/21/2014 at 9:22 pm

I have no idea how Sally is an expert in fashion/clothing/dress but most of her outfits have issues with either fit or proportion and this makes me question any advice she gives out.

06/21/2014 at 11:24 pm

Exactly, Chrissy. Apparently, she’s only a self-purported “expert.” Frankly, I think that most of her readers are women who are clueless about personal appearance. They don’t even know the difference between couture clothing and mass-marketed merchandise for retail. So they’ll believe anyone who projects authority. Sally McGraw is like the style version of “The Emperor’s New Clothes.” There are those of us with discernment, however, who aren’t afraid to state: “She’s wearing odd outfits.”

Ohh I know this post is a few days old, but – Kat, please do not let Sally guest post here any more. Her areas of expertise really do not match with what your readers are looking for, and she is especially unqualified to speak on this topic. I’m glad Sally is clear on her own style, but it’s a specific taste that doesn’t translate well for most of us.

07/30/2014 at 4:58 pm

I agree, layered bob. Sally’s posts aren’t helpful at all, nor does she have any real “expertise.” I actually believe her advice has an adverse effect. With due respect to Kat, I don’t understand why Sally is invited to write here. She has a very unprofessional presentation, and her outfits are outlandish. Her wardrobe is also dowdy and dated. If I showed up in court wearing one of her wacky ensembles, I’d lose my client’s confidence and likely, their case.

How to Dress for a Class Presentation

With these tips, you’ll be sure to be ready for your next presentation.

This post may contain affiliate links, which means we may receive a commission if you purchase through our links. Please read our full disclosure here .

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!

Table of Contents

Class Presentation Outfit #1

Products: Dress Pants – Macy’s , Blouse – Nordstrom Rack , Flats – Amazon , Red Lipstick – MAC , Earrings – Old Navy , Necklace – Nasty Gal , Coat – H&M , Backpack – Sole Society

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. 

I am a fan of ballet flats for their comfort and conservative look, so I chose a pretty suede pair for this look. As you probably know, sneakers are always inappropriate for a class presentation. Winter is just days away, so if it’s too cold or rainy to wear flats where you live, you can always wear sneakers or boots to class and then change into your flats! 

As with any business casual look, it’s important not to over-accessorize. Small stud earrings and a dainty necklace are perfect jewelry choices. You don’t want the jewelry to take away from your speech. Wearing some bold red lipstick will help you feel self-assured and confident, but keep the rest of your makeup muted for balance. You probably won’t need textbooks on presentation day, so a small leather backpack with the most important essentials is fine.

To finish this outfit, you’re going to need a coat to keep you warm. This classic pea coat is the perfect thing to wear on your way to class — it matches well with the professional vibe of the ensemble.

Class Presentation Outfit #2

Products: Button Up Shirt – Express , Sweater – J.Crew , Skirt – JCPenney , Tights – ASOS , Heels – Sam Edelman , Watch – Avenue , Tote – Steve Madden

For those of you who want to treat this class presentation like it’s an interview or you’re working for a conservative company, this outfit will be best for you.

For starters, a nice white button-up shirt is any easy go-to for any business setting. Throw a pretty sweater over top and make sure you have your collar showing above the sweater’s neckline. This combination makes your outfit look fashionable but also keeps you warm. Then, pair this outfit up with a thick pencil skirt in basic black. I love a skirt that already comes with a belt like the one pictured above — it’s an extra accessory that adds a little pop and accents your waist.

Because it is cold outside, don’t forget to wear tights! The thickness of your tights is really dependent on you and your tolerance for the cold but anything 60 denier and above is great. 

To complete this outfit, basic black pointed toe heels are appropriate and professional. Again, don’t go overboard on the accessories — here I just added a simple watch and a basic tote bag. Now, you’re ready for your presentation! 

Class Presentation Outfit #3

Products: Button Up Shirt – Kohl’s , Blazer – ASOS , Dress Pants – JCPenney , Kitten Heels – Amazon , Earrings – Kate Spade , Bangle – Vince Camuto , Backpack – Calpak , Coat – Amazon , Scarf – Ardene

You don’t have to go completely conservative for a presentation — if you’re  interested in being a showstopper and playing with color, this is the look for you! 

Start off with a button-up shirt, again in a neutral like white. It can be same shirt as the one in outfit #2 but for purposes of showing you another option, I’ve chosen a sleeveless top here. Next, choose a blazer in a bold color like the one pictured above. Then, pair it up with classic dress pants à la outfit #1. 

Now it’s time for extras! For some fun pops of color, add kitten heels in a similar color to the blazer. Then add some rose gold jewelry that’s subtle yet eye-catching. After you’re done with the presentation, make sure you have a winter coat to keep you warm and a pretty backpack to hold any papers you’ve picked up. To ensure that you are warm, a scarf is essential!

Suit Yourself: How to Dress for a College Presentation

All products are independently selected by our editors. If you buy something, we may earn an affiliate commission.

From clicking through slides of that randomly assigned group project you spent far too long putting off, to unveiling a semester’s worth of research at an end-of-year senior showcase, there comes a time in every student’s life to give a college presentation. It may be a thesis months in the making, a business pitch to potential employers, or an informal introduction to a freshman seminar you nearly skipped over on syllabus day. No matter the case, however, the way you present yourself is often as important as the presentation itself.

For first-time presenters, navigating elevated classroom attire is a daunting beast to tame. Even the most oratorically inclined may question where to begin the clothing search, how to afford and style quality garments, and the list goes on. And while it’s tempting to rely on the classic 8:00 am cozy sweats and worn-out sneakers uniform, dressing professionally does not have to be a scary undertaking. Below, we’ve compiled words of advice and outfit ideas perfect for presenting your next big project.

Fuse Professionalism and Personal Style

If you’re stumped on what to wear, reflecting on your ideal professional identity is a useful place to start. “When you walk into a room, what’s the impression you want to leave?,” asks incoming Cornell University law student Avalon Fenster, known across social media as Internship Girl .

“Don’t completely scrub the things you would wear every day, but wear something you can feel confident in [that] suits what you want to project into the world,” said Kirsty Ward , designer and professor of fashion at Savannah College of Art and Design. Far too often, she observes young people going to great lengths to avoid being perceived as amateurish, to the point of “ending up in suits with no personality at all.” But to both Ward and Fenster, dressing professionally simply means showing up as an elevated version of oneself, without sacrificing personal taste.

It’s often those individual touches to an ensemble that make it all the more memorable, reinforcing the impact of a college presentation. Got a lucky best friend bracelet and necklace that’s been in your family for decades? Or a pair of conversation-starting shoes? Lean into these novel pieces that add flair to a more understated outfit.

Work With What You Have

It’s quite easy to feel as though you’ve got to purchase an entirely new set of clothes to be lecture-ready, but some of the best pieces are likely already in your closet. “Before you shop for anything, before you add to your wardrobe, look for what you can repurpose,” said Fenster.

Resist the urge to buy everything you think you may need all at once by swapping items with friends, doing thrift-flips, and styling hand-me-downs from older siblings and relatives. Frequenting thrift stores and estate sales remains a budget-friendly alternative to spending on new items and can offer one-of-a-kind, affordable substitutes.

“It's way better to get fewer things that are higher quality than lots of things that are just falling apart. The last thing you want is to be at a meeting and [have] threads start coming out of your pants,” said Fenster.

Comfort is Key

You want to be able to command the space you’re presenting in and not be preoccupied with two-sizes-too-long dress pants and pumps that leave ankles sore for days. When it comes to closet staples, Fenster and Ward both stress the importance of comfort. “Whether it’s a great [pair] of cigarette pants or good flats you can walk in,” as per Ward, feeling and looking put together go hand-in-hand.

Ditch the no-support high heels for a clean pair of sneakers ; opt for soft, lightweight fabrics such as cotton; and layer for extra warmth when you know a classroom will be chilly. “Dress for focus,” says Fester, “so that you can not only look fantastic, but [also] be present in the task at hand.”

TREATMENT BY SKYLI ALVAREZ

Mix and Match Classics

Consider assembling a capsule wardrobe of versatile basics that can be easily thrown on for any college presentation. “I would definitely recommend having good button-down shirts, ones that you can either [wear] as they are or style in a fun way. If they’re oversized, play around with the proportions,” said Ward. She recommends Uniqlo for affordable apparel, especially noting its recent collaborations with JW Anderson and Marimekko .

To Fenster, the ideal professional closet for a college student includes two pairs of pants, two blazers, several shirts, a bodysuit, and a functional bag. Aritzia is her go-to for businesswear, and she swears by its front-knife pleated Effortless Pant and cropped Babaton Arbus Blazer . She embraces trends but advises starting out with timeless silhouettes.

The Bottom Line

College is prime for style experimentation and pushing beyond your comfort zone, both through the ensembles you wear and the academic opportunities you pursue. “Don’t pressure yourself to have it all sorted out, [as] you’re just at the start of your learning and career,” said Ward. The outfits won’t always work, though perhaps therein lies the excitement. With time, you’ll learn what compliments you, so long as you make a continued effort to push out of your comfort zone.

“If you’re someone who’s still navigating how to dress professionally, the best thing you can do is put yourself in as many situations as possible to dress up,” said Fenster. “Go to those conferences, go to those networking meetings, make coffee chats with upperclassmen, put yourself in classes where [presentations] are part of the syllabus.”
