How to be Camera-Ready Outfit Tips for Virtual Assistants – look professional on top and stay comfortable overall.
1. Keep It Simple and Polished (from the waist up!) You don’t need a full suit — just a neat, top that looks good on camera.
Easy options:
A blouse or knit top in a solid colour
A fitted T-shirt (no logos) paired with a cardigan or blazer
A light sweater or wrap top – soft and flattering
Button-down shirt – classic and always a win
2. Choose Colours That Flatter on Video. Stay away from loud prints or very bright colours that can be distracting or look weird on screen.
Good colour choices:
Soft neutrals (beige, cream, grey)
Jewel tones (navy, teal, emerald green)
Earthy shades (olive, rust, camel)
3. Easy Accessories (Less Is More); skip anything that jingles or shines too much. You only need a little to look put together.
Go for:
Small earrings (studs or simple hoops)
A delicate necklace or chain
A simple headband or hair clip if needed
4. Hair and Makeup – Low Effort, High Impact - just a quick refresh can make a difference on camera.
Quick fixes:
Tie your hair back or do a quick brush-through
Tinted moisturizer or BB cream + mascara
A little lip balm or gloss
Optional: dab of blush to avoid looking washed out
5. Bottoms? Your Call! Nobody sees them — but just in case you have to stand up:
Comfy leggings or yoga pants
Soft joggers
Casual skirt or pull-on trousers
Quick Outfit Ideas (All Zoom-Friendly):
Navy cardigan + white tee + hair in a ponytail
Light blue blouse + small gold hoops
Black turtleneck + soft lip colour
Printed top + neutral sweater over it
Tip: Keep a “Video Meeting Shirt” or go-to top nearby for last-minute calls.
