Whether you have a Zoom interview set up because it's just the next phase in your hiring process or because the company is not yet headed back to the office, you may find yourself wondering what outfit to wear for that big video call. In this new working world, it's important to be open to meeting any associate or colleague virtually - especially as flex schedules keep working from home a viable option. As great and comfy as our go-to pajamas are, every now and then, you may be inclined to convey a more put-together attitude, and doing so starts with your wardrobe (and of course, this is especially true if you're preparing for a big interview).
Getting dressed in an outfit that inspires confidence can directly affect your self-esteem, which can also play a role in your mood, productivity, and performance level. In other words, you probably don't want to join an interview wearing those sweatpants that you often associate with lounging on the couch - though there may be some workarounds for that, if you keep reading.
What's an Easy Outfit For a Zoom Interview?
Maybe you haven't worn a blazer in a few months (or years), but it's time to dust off that sleek jacket, give it a solid ironing, and layer it over a crisp button-up blouse. The right blazer instantly incorporates an element of "I put in some effort" into your overall look. With a simple pair of earrings or an understated necklace, you've got a Zoom-ready outfit in just a few minutes. (And if you decide to wear sweatpants on the bottom, that's perfectly OK; we won't tell anyone.)
How Should I Dress For a Zoom Interview?
Comfortable and confident is the vibe you should work toward. Avoid tight fabrics that might compress you in places that won't feel good and will likely be more distracting than anything. Bright colors and patterns are good in small doses, and neutrals in any amount are usually a safe bet. Collared blouses, sheath dresses, and crisp cardigans are a few of the items to stock up on to have feel-good, professional staples at the ready.
