Go for a sleek look

You may haven’t touched a well stitched jacket since a while now, but perhaps it’s time to take it out and give it a try. A sleek jacket on a crisp shirt can create a perfect, professional look for a Zoom interview. The right blazer paired with a complementary buttoned and ironed shirt instantly speaks for your readiness and effort you have put in preparing for the meeting or the scheduled interview.

Stay comfortable

Online meetings can be nerve wracking on their own, and you should not complicate them by choosing a complicated outfit. Being comfortable and confident in what you wear would be the best strategy, especially for a Zoom job interview. If you wear something too tight or what needs constant adjusting, you would be spending more time and attention on your outfit rather than the contents of the meeting.

Do not forget that loud colors and patterns are also acceptable but in small amounts. A pop of color in form of a scarf is acceptable. The best outfit is a simple, neutral coloured, well ironed shirt, or a sheath dress. Add small, elegant jewelry if you are feeling particularly dressy that day, but do not go overboard with the dress up game.

What colors should you opt for

Brightly coloured blouses can lend you glow and confidence, paired with subtle jewelry and a crisp, neutral cardigan, will give you a polished and sophisticated look perfect for a professional online meeting. Always opt for a color which is your most flattering shade, and make you feel confident in your skin. But avoid neon and loud colors which could only distract from the conversation.

What are the most suitable fabrics for a Zoom meeting

Choose flattering fabrics which are highly comfortable and do not need a lot of adjustment to appear proper. Make sure what you wear is soft and breathable, as you may have to sit for long hours. Well ironed cotton, linen and silk are the best options for fabric as they appear polished, professional and presentable.
