Quick List for What to Wear when Being Recorded on Video

General Clothing Guidelines for Men and Women

Things to wear:

· Wear something that is comfortable and cool.

· Bring a backup just in cases.

· Blues, greens, grays, and earth tones all work great for video.

Things to avoid wearing:

· Anything with close, high-contrast pin strips like white shirts with closely placed black or navy stripes.

· Herringbone, corduroy or a lot of busy plaids.

· Anything orange or reddish orange.

· Wearing a white shirt by itself; only wear under a darker jacket.

· No clothing with logos

Tips For Men:

· A shirt with some type of collar looks best.

· Jackets also look particularly good, especially with good tailoring; the jacket can be a solid color or have a faint low-contrast pin stripe or pattern.

· A light blue, pink, cream, or burgundy shirt will usually look a lot better under the jacket than a pure white shirt.

· If you are very fair-skinned, a light-colored jacket, such as a soft gray, would look best.

Tips For Women:

· Avoid bright, huge, flowery patterns and bold colors, like a red power suit (unless it is a very deep red).

· Avoid drab earth tones because they tend to blend into the background.

· You can spice up any outfit by adding a scarf; however, you still want to avoid reds, oranges, and stripes.
