How to dress for a conf-call?
The lockdown did cut our social life into halves. We speak without touching and see only the upper part of our fellow humans.
As we get to put 50% of our being out there, why not make the best of it. We do not have much to do anyways (well that’s if you do not have kids).
I share my quick fix to half dress professionally in order to make a memorable impression on screen.
Not here to judge your sweat pants but make sure you wear some. The moment you stand up to pick up something may come.
Here are my ideas to start your carrier as an anchorwoman.
I/ Wear a top that’s interesting per se
1/ With a beautiful print
Sézane
2/ A memorable detail
Such as a pussy bow
3/ A different neckline
4/ A collar popping
White collars always look put together.
Eighties inspo
II/ Add jewels
1/ Necklaces
2/ Earrings
Along with a big collar screaming for attention
3/ Bracelets and rings
They’ll be noticed when you hand gesture but make sure they’re not speaking too. There no be seen not heard.
III/ Put some lipstick on.
While fundation and mascara barely get noticed through screen, lipstick won’t be missed.
Oh, and one las wise advise. Wait until the call is over to use the bathroom.
And you? How do you dress for conf call?
Virus free bisous

Oh my god, the video is so funny (and I’m so ashamed for her in the same time)!
Yes… both funny and embarassing
The Sezane printed blouse is oh-so-beautiful. Loving all the extra content from you on blog and Instagram as a bright spot during this time.
I will try some of these ideas for my next call; especially like the lipstick as it makes me feel better too! My tip for conference calls particularly with clients is to throw on a blazer or even an open cardigan. The layer adds polish and looks like you made an effort
True! the blazer is an excellent idea.
Hi Alois! The silver lining to the situation is getting to see and hear from you more often!
Thanks for this up to the minute and very practical article.
Happy this make you happy 🙂
Pas de visioconférence professionnel dans mon cas, mais oui pour les rendez-vous visio avec la famille et les amis.
Alors oui aux belles boucles d’oreilles et colliers un peu volumineux, un rouge à lèvres ou un gloss qui illumine le teint.
De toutes façons, quand ça va mal, j’ai tendance à faire plus attention à ma tenue et à mon maquillage: ma “tenue” me permet de mieux tenir!
Je suis tout à fait d’accord avec vous! Il m’arrive de m’habiller alors que je télétravaille juste pour créer un sas entre mon lit et mon bureau
Thank you! I’m working telehealth and also dressing from the waist up (usually jeans on the bottom). I hadn’t thought of the bold color plus big earring, but I rather like it. Big earrings and chunky necklaces are my friends!
Oh cool I was able to help 🙂
