What to Wear for a TV Interview - Public Speaking Video Lecture - Public

so how should you dress if you're going
on television for starters you need to
dress in a way that augments your
message you don't want to confuse people
if you are a banker you don't want to
dress like a sculptor or an artist if
you're an artist you don't want to have
a boring banker's suit on there needs to
be a connection between your message
what you're talking about and what
you're wearing so if you're a dairy
farmer don't have a pinstripe suit on if
you're a banker don't have jeans and a
polo shirt on it will confuse people
other tips specific to TV you're better
off wearing solids and avoiding
complicated patterns stripes they can
jump around and this is a fairly subtle
stripe but it tends not to jump around
and because a lot of my clients are
people in the financial industry and
CEOs I have a business suit on doesn't
mean you should be wearing a business
suit stripes can jump around broad
patterns can jump around certain colors
can be bad for TV if you're wearing a
bright red it can believe it's moving if
you're wearing white that can be too
bright and it can become the dominant
thing on the screen now doesn't mean
it's always awful there are certain news
anchors even our president wears a white
shirt doesn't mean it's going to destroy
your whole image on TV but in general
white is too bright and it dominates the
picture black is another problem color
black can have a slimming effect in real
life if you're speaking or in front of
people but on TV your arms can bleed
together with your torso and if you were
sitting on a black chair it can all
bleed together black can actually make
you look heavier on TV then you are
unreal that so I would avoid black I
would avoid red I would avoid white
simpler the better the fewer the
patterns the better
do that and you will be dressed well for
TV
