ScarfChocolate Midi Dress, Camel Wrap Coat, Tan Chelsea Boot, Black Leather Tote, Navy Wool Scarf. A smart combination for video call in temperate 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. Mild weather is forgiving: a light layer that comes on and off is usually all you need. Read the room before you read your wardrobe: the same day can want a sharper or a softer answer depending on who you are seeing, and the middle is usually the safer place to land.
- Avoid tight patterns; they shimmer on camera.
- Carry a layer for the evening drop.
- Pick the palette before the pieces. Two neutrals and one accent rarely fails.
