In Public Speaking how you dress can either add or take away from your address.
Unless you are at a fashion show, dress up appropriately.
In picking what to wear for that Public Speaking gig ask yourself this question;
Will this dress speak louder than my message?
Remember, the audience's focus should be on your address, NOT your dress.
Your dressing reveals your personality & to some extent reveal your character.
You need to be Comfortable & Confident in your dress.
But always remember; it's not about you but the message, therefore remove anything that might be a destruction to your talk.
In Dressing Up for Public Speaking remember;
1. Avoid the temptation to over-dress so much that you outshine everyone. This is not a dress parade, it's Public Speaking.
2. Avoid under-dressing as if you are a charity case. You don't need the audience to be sending you secondhand clothes.
3. Simply dress appropriately well or slightly better.
Female speakers avoid the temptation of showing too much cleavage & exposing too much (sexy) flesh.
You maybe comfortable, but another woman's son will be craving to suck the breasts he sees on the podium, instead of concentrating on your message.
Unless you are giving a talk of 'adult' nature in an adult store!
Long after your speech, people should remember your the content of your message not your body.
