INTRODUCTION
Making the right first impression may be vital to the
success of your presentation so it is important that you
decide on the image that you want to convey and dress
appropriately. Even before you begin to speak, members of
your audience are likely to have formed opinions about you
based on the way you are dressed, your personal grooming,
posture and body language. If you surprise them in some
way, they will be distracted and this will lessen the impact
of what you’re saying.
 LOW KEY APPROACH
• For men, this often means a well tailored but conservative suit in a
basic color such as navy, gray or black. Shirts can be used to add
color and individuality and you will need to judge how far to take
this.
• For women, It is advisable to follow the basic rule that your clothing
shouldn’t draw attention to itself and the colors should make it easy
to focus on your face.
• This projects a professional image and does not cause a
distraction.
