What to wear
What to wear to a video call interview when it's cold: women's
A women's smart outfit for video call in cold weather, picked from real pieces, with why it works and the one change that matters.

GlovesCharcoal Knit Dress, Camel Wrap Coat, Black Heeled Boot, Grey Wool Scarf, Black Leather Gloves. A smart combination for video call in cold 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. Cold weather is about layers you can shed indoors: a knit under an overcoat does more for warmth and polish than one thicker piece. The women's read of this day is usually one considered piece with quieter support around it, rather than several competing ideas.
- Avoid tight patterns; they shimmer on camera.
- The innermost layer is the one people see; make it a good one.
- Choose one deliberate detail, a colour, a texture or a print, and keep the rest plain.
