What to Wear

These suggestions are designed to help you look and feel your best on camera.

Type of Dress

  • Dress as you would for a business meeting
    • Some teleconferences are more casual
    • Check with the producer for the final word
  • Heavy jackets and sweaters may become uncomfortable under the TV lights
  • Front-button shirts, jackets with lapels, and pants or skirts with belts work best for clip-on wireless microphones
    • Microphones can be attached to ties, collars, or lapels
    • Power packs can be attached to belts or waistbands
    • One-piece dresses are not advised 

Colors and Patterns to Avoid

  • Black and white
  • Small patterns
  • Herringbone patterns
  • Tweeds
    (they tend to “buzz” on screen) 

Best Choice: Solid pastel colors for shirts and blouses

 

Jewelry

Avoid large, sparkly jewelry and dangling earrings

 

Make-up

  • If you wear make-up, use it as you normally would
  • A make-up artist will touch up all presenters to make you look your best under the TV lights 

Hair Style

  • Style your hair as you would normally
  • A stylist will touch up your hair as needed
