Dress for the (Remote) Job You Want

Dress for the (Remote) Job You Want | The Student Voice | Scoop.it
When it comes to virtual meetings, do the same norms around appearance apply? Is one background preferable to another? What attire should we wear? Do certain clothing colors translate better via webcam? Does anyone actually care? In a recent survey, the authors discovered that most people do have preferences about type of attire and backgrounds. They share their findings: Most people care about the background behind you. Most people just want to see the room behind you; very few prefer the fake virtual backgrounds. Respondents cared less about your clothing, but it still matters. Neutral colors are preferable unless you’re trying to portray yourself as “innovative” and business casual is the safest choice. However, if you want to be seen as an expert, then go more formal.
