Zoom Meeting Outfits. The events of this year have been no less than dizzying, with many – if not most – of us navigating a whole new way of doing life. One of the most universal changes has been an uptake on video-conferencing.

Now more than ever, we are staying connected via laptop screens and mobile devices and it has been an adjustment, to say the least. And with many of us working from home, Zoom meetings and other forms of conferencing have become our go-to form of staying connected with coworkers, bosses, and clients. Not to mention events like family celebrations, happy hour with friends, or check-ins with the grandparents.

What to Wear for a Zoom Meeting

In today’s article, we are going to be talking about Zoom meeting outfits: what to wear, the best pieces to wear, what to avoid, and more. We will be leaving the discussion of how to set up Zoom, how to download it, or install it, to other sites. There are various tips they will share, like best camera angles and ways to change your Zoom meeting background. But here at Outfit Trends, we are all about outfits and style. So that’s what we’ll be sharing today. Let’s get started.

There are quite a few things to consider when planning your Zoom meeting attire. Here are some things to keep in mind, as well as some tips for cute, stylish, maintainable attire.

• Wear a bright-colored blouse. This may go against typical reasoning as you might be tempted to dress for a Zoom meeting the way you would a TV interview. But in reality, you will be using your laptop or an attachable webcam for your Zoom meetings, and neither are known for their quality. A bright colored top can really help brighten things up, as well as enable you to stand out amidst a gray or blurry scape. This is even more applicable if the wall behind you is plain.
• Avoid a low-cut neckline or a too-high neckline. Why? A low-cut neckline will draw attention away from your face and should be avoided if you are doing a work-related meeting. Plus, they become a distraction as they need to be constantly adjusted or fixed. However, a too-high neckline can be problematic for other reasons: you could wind up looking like a floating head! For that reason, you’ll want to avoid turtlenecks, button-ups, mock-necks, etc. So look for blouses that hit right in the middle and that don’t require fidgeting or any type of maintenance.
• Avoid fitted or super-structured tops. Because you’ll probably be sitting behind a desk, you’ll want to avoid wearing anything that pulls or tugs across your middle or shoulders, anything that gaps (so avoid button-ups, if you can), or anything too tight. To get the perfect Zoom outfit, you’ll want a comfortable top that fits you well and doesn’t stretch uncomfortably across your chest.
• Go for some type of sleeve. By wearing sleeves, you’ll avoid any renegade bra straps making an appearance.
• As tempting as it may be not to do so, do wear proper pants! If you have to jump up to grab something or need to take a bathroom break, you will want to be wearing a full outfit e.g., not your favorite pajama pants or boxer shorts. That would be quite embarrassing!

Now that we have the basics down pat, let’s move on!
