The countdown to taking the oral exams has begun and starting to study what to wear to make a good impression on those who find themselves in the position of judging us can prove useful.
The final exam, also known as the State Exam, is the final exam for secondary schools, in which students are assessed by a mixed commission composed of internal and external teachers.
How is an oral exam structured?
Once the written tests are completed, students usually have one or two weeks before appearing for the oral tests, which include a presentation of what they have studied during the year, in addition to answers to questions on Citizenship and the Constitution.
Maybe you don't know that: the written test is preparatory to the oral exams and is composed of a first test that is the same for everyone (the Italian essay with 7 topics to choose from) while the second test is the subject of focus decided by the Ministry. Finally, the oral exam includes the discussion of a short essay and interdisciplinary questions.
If in terms of knowledge all that remains is to prepare for the test, in terms of styling it is possible to maintain a wide margin of maneuver to develop it in view of the final exams.
Dress code for the oral exam
The right dress for every occasion, so showing up to the final exams with the right look can help you face the test with more ease and tranquility, easing natural tensions and insecurities.
The first piece of advice to keep in mind is to use common sense and stick to the classics, without trying to appear too formal or elegant, especially if it doesn't fit in with your usual style.
It is true that in front of the commission the look becomes an important business card that together with the attitude even before the answers will contribute to communicate the identity of the student but it is also true that maintaining one's natural style without overdoing it with the aim of appearing different from what one is could become a double-edged sword.
Opting for fresh, comfortable and light garments with clean lines, better if without necklines, slits or other details, will help to focus attention on what the exam itself is; as for accessories, go for sneakers and ballerinas that together with backpacks or large bags will give the final touch to the outfit for the final exam.
It is important not to forget that at the final exam there are also external teachers who, not knowing the students, will find themselves expressing a judgment based on their preparation and way of expressing themselves but also on their appearance, posture, expression and tone of voice.
Our advice: avoid the overly formal total look, like a formal suit ; to appear less stiff but just as chic, opt for the white shirt and wide trousers combo that can be paired with a roomy, coloured fabric bag .
Pay attention to detail: as for make-up, it is better to choose a pink or peach gloss to best accompany the smile and if you really can't do without it, opt for a nude make-up that is as natural as possible.
And at the class dinner?
Once exams are over, all that's left to do is organize the class dinner or party, a golden opportunity to show off chic and trendy looks, indulging yourself with bold colors and patterns that go well with the summer season and the party atmosphere.
The first tip is to focus on casual midi dresses above the knee for a fresh, sunny and chic look while for a more elegant and classic look the sheath dress is a guarantee of absolute elegance.
Jersey dress with floral print
Add a touch of glamour to your look with our short sheath dress in printed elastic jersey which, thanks to the elasticity of the fabric, can also be worn one-shoulder or with a boat neckline.
Cheerful and jaunty, floral dresses are fully suited to summer. Floral patterns require a shoe with a touch of glamour, such as a sandal with a wide heel. A long dress should generally be avoided as it recalls the ceremonial style. However, everything depends on the level of formality of the event: if professors are also present at the dinner and the general tone is semi-formal, you can also choose an ankle- length dress in a pastel shade.
Long dress in powder pink satin
This ankle-length dress gives a slender and romantic effect, perfect for a party or for those looking for a chic and modern look with a touch of glamour.
As for bags, the clutch in pastel, leather or black rhinestone shades is the most suitable model for an evening with classmates, especially if, after dinner, the party continues at the disco.
Black satin and rhinestone clutch
Add a touch of glamour to your look with our rigid satin clutch, enriched with rhinestone and glitter embroidery. The very refined design closure gives a unique elegance, while the possibility of adding a steel shoulder strap in two different lengths makes it perfect for any occasion.
Pay attention to detail: special occasion makeup is different from classic makeup in its intensity. It doesn't necessarily have to be elaborate, but it still has to be more refined than normal everyday makeup.
