How to Dress to Make a Speech | Public Speaking Video Lecture | Public Speaking: Learn and Boost your Confidence (English) - Communication

so how should you dress if you're giving
a speech there's no one perfect thing to
wear the main thing to think about is
you've got to dress in a way that
doesn't confuse your audience that
augments your message if you're a
world-renowned outdoor wildlife
photographer I wouldn't wear a
conservative business suit on the other
hand if you are a bond manager and
you're dealing with people's money and
their investments I wouldn't wear shorts
and a Hawaiian shirt you need to dress
in a way where people connect what it is
you do what your message is and who you
are for most people most the time you
don't want people focusing on what
you're wearing you want them focusing on
your message now if you're a fashion
designer
obviously you want to demonstrate your
clothes that you design you want people
really noticing what you're isn't that
beautiful I'd like to get that but if
you're not talking about fashion and
you're talking about some aspect of your
business that tent any kind of a
traditional business then the focus
shouldn't be on what you're wearing
every industry is a little bit different
if you're in the banking industry in New
York then if you don't wear a suit and
tie that can look weird if you're in the
high-tech arena out in Silicon Valley
wearing a tie will confuse people it
will look stupid will show you're not a
part of that community so you've always
got to figure out what is your audience
wearing what do they think of you and
what is the image they have for someone
like you that should be the focus and
other basics you need to realize people
are looking at every inch of you so if
you need new shoes or a Polish make sure
your shoes are polished because people
will notice it if you put on a few
pounds and you can't button your jacket
you've got to go to the tailor quick
nothing's worse than seeing somebody
speaking and their jacket is so tight
you're worried that uh oh that buttons
gonna pop and put out my eye every
single little detail like that can be
done is you need to be comfortable but
you need to be dressed in a way that
augments your message
