Spend Above The Waist

The camera only sees your top half, so put your effort there:

• Structured tops and blazers: clean shoulders read as authority on screen
• Jewel-toned solids: emerald, navy, burgundy, and teal hold their color
• Open necklines: a V-neck or open collar lengthens the face
• One light-catching accent: a simple necklace or earrings, nothing busy
• Skip head-to-toe black: it drinks light and can flatten you into a floating head

Test the look before any call that matters. Your phone's selfie mode shows roughly what the webcam will. Two minutes now saves twenty minutes of fidgeting later.
