What's the best way to dress for television or any sort of video interview or where you're creating your own video? The main thing is to dress in a way that helps your audience focus on your message, who you are and what you're about. So, if you're a fashion designer, by all means, where you really interesting, colorful fashions that demonstrate your brand, if you are an offbeat kooky artist, wear all sorts of quirky, colorful things. But if you're any kind of a business person and you want people to focus on your message, don't dress in a way where the clothes are jumping out. In general, I would stress avoid stripes they can jump around, dance around. Avoid white it's so bright, because the brightest thing on the screen.

I have a white backdrop here but this is a completely controlled environment. I have that to avoid distinctions because now are distractions because now the only thing you have to look at my face. I would avoid red because red can sort of dance Around bleed, it looks distracting, patterns can jump around. So you're better off wearing solids. Avoiding things like white grit, I would avoid black. Now this is dark, this has black in it, but it also has a lot of white in it.

Solid black is harder to light. You can't tell when your body stops and your arm start can actually make you look heavier than you do in real life in real life black and have a slimming effect. It's not the end of the world if you were black. But in general, I would avoid it. It's not the end of the world if you were white. But in general, I would avoid it white for a shirt can make it harder to light your face.

It can dark in your face is another problem. So those are the basic tips. But in general, wear something so that when someone's watching it whether it's a big gigantic screen or a little cell phone, they're not confused by what you're wearing. They're not distracted in what you're wearing. Helps accentuate who you are and what you're all about.
