WatchOlive Polo, Navy Chinos, Camel Overshirt, Black Loafer, Brown Leather Belt, Silver Watch. A smart combination for video call in hot weather, with the lightest colour sitting closest to your face.
On a video call the camera crops you at the chest, so the top half carries the whole outfit. Choose a solid colour that separates from your background. In heat, fabric and fit matter more than layering. Go breathable and a little looser; light colours help but fabric helps more. The men's read of this day comes down to a clean silhouette and a quiet palette; the fit does more of the talking than any single piece here.
- Avoid tight patterns; they shimmer on camera.
- Natural fibres and a looser cut beat a lighter colour alone.
- A proper collar and a leather shoe carry more formality than any label will.
