Clothes you feel good in
Make sure you wear clothes you feel good in.
Fitting your job or role
For a mechanic, viewers expect overalls and for a manager or director, a shirt.
Guidelines
Are there any guidelines from the company or legislation? Think about safety clothing, for example.
No bright colours
Do not wear clothes with bright basic colours such as bright red, bright blue and bright green.
No busy patterns and stripes
Busy patterns and lines causes the image to vibrate (moiré). Larger patterns and wider stripes are acceptable. A pinstripe suit can also do.
Avoid clothing brand logos
Unless it is corporate clothing, it is important to think about whether you want logos of brands on air or not.
No rustling clothing
Some fabrics make more noise with movement. Avoid these clothes.
Space for clip headset microphone
In most webinars and livestreams, speakers are given a headset microphone with a beltpack. This beltpack is hung on trousers or belt via a clip. Especially with a dress, it is convenient to put on a matching belt.
Clean clothes
It’s logical that clothes should be clean, but an accident is in a small corner. Especially if you have a shoot at the end of the day or in the evening, it is smart to bring spare clothes. Since most shoots are at our table or desk, it’s mainly about outerwear.
Small earrings and jewellery tips
In connection with headset microphones, please do not wear large earrings!
Otherwise, wear jewellery in moderation. They can sometimes stand out more in the picture than you want. Bracelets can make tapping noises when talking at a desk or table.
Keep an eye on the weather
Although there is cooling in the studio, it can also be a bit hotter in the studio on hot days, especially during a longer event. During the broadcast, the cooling has to be turned off because of the sound.
Keep in mind timelessness
If a video (in the replay, for example) has to last a long time, it is smart to choose your clothes ‘seasonally neutral’, so that the video always looks current.
