Dress to Impress
For a Training

2.
Delivering a training or holding a presentation is not all
about the content but also on how you conduct yourself
and how you dress for the part. Finding the perfect
balance between looking professional and also relating
adequately to the audience may prove difficult in some
situation. Here you can find some tips and tricks to
follow in choosing your clothing for running your training
plan.
We will start with the Six S’s of dressing to work in your
favor.

3.
1. Sleeves
It is recommended to wear long sleeves
because they inspire authority and
respect, therefore the audience will pay
more attention to what you are saying.
Just stop thinking how you would react
to a speaker wearing short sleeves
opposed to long ones. You may observe
the difference in perception.

2. Surroundings
Study the room where you will be
holding the training or call the location
and find out the colors of the room, the
decorations and atmosphere in order
not to blend in. For example, if the
walls are blue do not dress in blue.

3. Skirts
This point refers to women and their
attention to the length of their skirts. If
you will be presenting on a stage, your
skirt will appear much shorter, therefore
choose a mid-knee skirt, no matter how
tall or short you are.

4. Shoes
Make sure your shoes are neat and
clean before you begin your training.
The color of the shoes should be one
note darker than your pants/skirt or
the attention of the audience will be
distracted by the lighter shoes.

5. Style
Do not hesitate to call on a tailor to
adjust your clothing to your body
measures. Everyone is unique in
structure and should fit their clothes
according to it. Otherwise the
audience will observe if your pants or
sleeves are longer or shorter than
needed.

6. Silk ties
Choose 100% silk ties but be sure
you buy it in your size. The tip of
your tie should hit the middle of
your belt buckle.
