Video calls are an important part of the functioning of a business or a company. They are an excellent solution for holding meetings and dealing with issues where all the parties cannot be present at once in the room due to different reasons like geographical distance, difference in time zones, etc. Whichever the case, video calls are almost the same and as effective as physical meetings, and with that, they require the same business appearance and outfits.
Many people find it quite frustrating when the time for a video call comes and they have no idea what to wear. Some feel the pressure of overdressing and some of underdressing – each one can make the person feel like an impostor rather than a professional in their field of expertise.
As a personal stylist and luxury living expert in Parisian style, my passion is to help you look and feel your best, so that you can command the room without even trying. Wouldn’t you want that?
To start, here are the most common 3 mistakes that people usually do in video calls:
Video Calls Wardrobe Ideas Mistake #1: Wearing anything strapless-a top, tank top, or dress
As mentioned above, the video call is a business meeting that must present the attendees in formal and smart outfits. The strapless tops and all other garments that come with strapless tops should be avoided because they do not present an official and professional look.
The best option for your video calls wardrobe closet is to wear sleeved tops – short or long ones, blouses, sweaters – everything will look better than the strapless tops.
Video Calls Mistake #2: Not wearing makeup
Women usually do this mistake and not wear makeup on their video calls because they think that it is not visible or necessary. Well, on the contrary – the camera requires wearing makeup, and so does the occasion too. Putting makeup on means that you are invested in this call, appreciate the time and the effort, and above all, look professional.
However, don’t overdo it in terms of color. Go for makeup colors that will accent your eyes and give your tone and complexion a bit extra color. This is my specialty as a certified color analyst.
Video Calls Mistake #3: Not taking the time to do your hair
We understand that with in-home conditions, you might feel that doing the hair for your video call is unnecessary. But, when you pop up in the screen messy and with bad hair, that will definitely not present you in the look you want to be seen with.
You do not have to get a blow dry, just comb it and put it into a ponytail. A loose or a little messy ponytail is the perfect French lady secret weapon for looking good without trying. This is a quick and fast solution that is 100 times better than the messy bed hair.
These 3 essential steps, will surely upgrade your video call presence and dress from the waist up with confidence and self-esteem.
