Either you are getting prepared for a job interview, a class meeting, or just a virtual party with your friends, you still want to look presentable. One of the ways that you set yourself up for success is the way you get dressed. Keep reading to discover how to shine in a Zoom call!

| Job Interview |

It's well known that going to a job interview can be really stressful, but attending one through Zoom has also its benefits. The key is to make people pay attention to what you're saying rather than being distracted by what you're wearing. Keep in mind that bold colors like hot pink, bright red and floral prints can disorientate your listeners. For that reason, opt for a business casual look and staple pieces that you already have in your wardrobe. Minimalistic and monochromatic outfits are ideal for this purpose. If the dress attire of the desired company is more strict and corporate, you can slay in a black wide-leg jumpsuit and heels no higher than five inches. Go for understated makeup like nude lip colors, pale eye shadows, a bit of mascara and sleek straight hair to create an elegant look. 

In case you'll have to stand up, then for bottoms, you can put on a nice pair of jeans or paper bag trousers and sneakers.

Style a white/beige nude turtleneck top with a tailored fit brown/black/navy/grey blazer and leave it unbuttoned. Choose subtle, mini accessories like pearl earrings, gold studs or a thin curb chain necklace that are feminine and delicate.

Another great idea that will make you look super polished and professional is a classic white shirt or a navy blue silk blouse. It can be tucked into pants or a midi skirt or you can put a wool cardigan on top.

| Class Meeting |

The good news with Zoom meetings is that you only have to get half-dressed, but what to wear on top?  You can still combine happy prints and designs to help you stand out from the crowd. A fancy necklace or earrings can draw attention to your face and fill a neckline. However, avoid anything too big or shiny. A silk neck scarf is another great idea that gives a pop of color and glam to your effortless cool outfit.


Opt for a sleeveless halterneck bodysuit, straight-leg jeans and a long cardigan for a minimal comfy look!

What's more cozy than your stretching legginfs and a cute sweatshirt? Kind of gives you the ' preppy school girl ' vibes.

You can keep it smart casual like a lightweight top and a wool shacket styled with sweatpants.

| Virtual Party |

As Christmas is approaching, the party season is looming. Most celebrations this year will take place over Zoom- but that doesn't mean you can't dress up if you have a birthday party to attend.  Go bold with your makeup and get inspired by 80's big curly hairstyles!

From the couch to the kitchen, whip yourself up a drink, slip into your boldest dress and by that, I mean bright happy rainbow colors! Also, you can throw on your highest heels and tightest pants paired with a statement top. Some ideas are a  puff-sleeved top in a shimmering shade, an off the shoulder ruched top, a halter floral printed top or a corset velvet with leather pants would be bombing!

A fiercely festive, dazzling and eye-catching sequin dress is perfect for an online party and you'll def stand out! Keep it simple with the jewelry and for shoewear prefer heel sandals or even simple sneakers.
