A Senior Project Guide to a perfect score

You want your audience to focus on your presentation, not what you are wearing

Let’s your audience know that you are serious

Bestows confidence in yourself

Do’s Business Casual is the preferred dress Dress slacks or skirt Dress blouse Jackets add a nice touch – possible bonus

points Dress shoes – sandals are permitted if they

are considered dressy

Don’ts Slacks should not be too tight Skirts should not be too tight or too short –

no more than 2 inches above the knee Blouses should not show any cleavage or

midriff – stand in front of the mirror and raise your arm to test

No flip flops or string sandals Avoid extra large jewelry, it can be

distracting

Do’s Wear slacks and a dress button up shirt Wear a tie Wear dress socks and dress shoes Wear a belt A suit jacket will probably earn you some

bonus points.

Don’ts Wear school uniform pants; if you wear

khaki pants, they must be dress pants Wear a pull over shirt Leave your shirt untucked Wear your pants below your waist Wear sandals or tennis shoes

Wrinkles. No, the jacket won't disguise a wrinkled shirt beneath. Yes, people notice wrinkled pants.

Dirty, damaged, or scuffed shoes. Too casual a look overall. If you would feel

comfortable wearing it on a casual date, the beach or a ballgame, it's wrong for a presentation.

Undergarments that do not, uh ... stay under. Strapless or spaghetti strap tops or dresses

If you have trouble finding the funds to purchase new clothes, keep in mind consignment shops such as the Clothes Closet.

Share. Find someone the same size as you and borrow. Only one of you can present at one time.
