15 Best Video Interview Outfits for Men – The Dos and Dont’s
- Fit is king. As we always say here, the fit is important so if you don’t have something comfortable to wear, give yourself some time to visit the tailor.
- Makeup. Apply a light foundation or CC cream to give your skin a healthy and natural glow. If you have oily skin, use a blotting paper and some powder before joining your call.
- Accessories. A classic wristwatch would suffice. Big jewels, earrings, and shiny necklaces are off the table as they can cause distractions.
- Try your outfit on. Like with any big event, you try your outfit on before the big day. And when it comes to video interviews, you should test your outfit on a call to see how it looks on the camera.
- Grooming. Make sure that your hair is well-groomed. Go for a professional look, and imagine you’re going to the office. Also, your facial hair should be freshly trimmed, preferably in the morning of your interview. You can find some great tips on this from our earlier post on Professional Beard Styles.
- No loud prints. Something boring is better than something that’s too loud. Clothes with vulgar phrases are unflattering and distracting for such occasions. Remember, the focus should not be on your outfit but on you, so keep things minimal, neutral, and professional – stick to solid and warm colors.
- No clothes with writing on them. They look informal. Although you might think a T-shirt with a strong motto print motivating, your interviewer will not, so save them for streetwear.
It is also a good idea to ask an insider or research the company’s culture or school to be sure of what’s appropriate to wear. Nevertheless, we give you these outfit ideas for a video interview:

Show hiring managers you are prepared for additional responsibilities. You’ll be expected to dress like a manager during your shift, so you want to make the strongest impression. How you dress can say a lot about your leadership and management skills.
Opt for a solid black double-breasted suit with peak lapels. Maintain a simple and elegant look, so avoid plaids and stripes. You want to show that you have higher authority and power, but don’t be arrogant and boastful, of course. The tie should match the overall suit’s color, and don’t even think of wearing a bow tie instead of a regular one. A tie bar is useful in keeping the tie in place, so invest in one if you haven’t yet. If you need to go suit shopping, don’t forget to check out these Amazing Suits Combinations to Get Sharp Look.
