Be yourself, and keep it simple by wearing something that makes you feel comfortable. If you are a spokesperson for a specific constituency, dress to represent the constituency. For example, if you are the spokesperson for local fishermen, wearing an Armani suit may not be the best choice.
If the goal is to look professional, here are some tips:
For Men
- Wear muted colored neckties and avoid small patterns.
- Avoid flashy tie clasps, cuff links and other jewelry – they distort the picture.
- Shave just before the interview, especially if you have a heavy beard.
For Women
- Avoid white or light-colored dresses or suits – they tend to darken your face.
- Avoid small patterns – solid colors are best.
- Wear dark shoes instead of light.
- Avoid wearing large flashy jewelry that may distort the screen.
- As for makeup, your "everyday" makeup is fine for television. If you don't normally wear makeup, a light powder will help reduce shine.
