What to wear at your interview
Advice from Articulate Ventures about fabrics, colors, and jewelry.
How you will look on camera
- Most of the time you will be shown from the rib cage up or shoulders up.
- You will likely have one camera angle that captures your entire figure while you are seated in a chair that will help you have your best posture.
How to choose your wardrobe
This is upscale casual. Like you are having a group of old friends over for dinner at your
house. You want to look your best, but this is relaxed, so you should also be comfortable.
- Men may wear sport coats but should not feel pressure to have a full suit or wear
a tie. Polos, sweaters, vests, pull-overs. - Women if you wear a skirt or a dress, make sure that it is comfortable. Don’t
choose anything that you will be self conscious about the camera angles.
Fabrics
- Synthetic fabrics designed to repel rain should be avoided because they add
unnecessary noise into microphones. - Don’t wear anything that will become too warm and cause you to sweat. The
temperature is about 70° but depending on several factors (lights equipment) the
room may become warmer.
Colors
- Avoid wearing all black or all white.
- Avoid wearing red or bright yellow.
- Avoid wearing patterns (fine lines and stripes,
houndstooth, plaid)
Jewelry
- Wear what you really enjoy wearing. Don’t be bashful, it is often
valuable because of who gave it to you, or occasions you wore it to.
