wardrobe

 

 

Wardrobe is an important part of television media training. What you choose to
wear on television will have a huge impact.

Viewers are making instant judgments based on your appearance. If your clothes are
old fashioned, people will assume your ideas and products are equally dull and
uninspiring.

Wear your best outfit. Keep it modern and preferably made in New Zealand. Ties
are no longer essential for men. The shirt is the new tie. But avoid white.

Men:

  • Modern designs, not old favourites
  • Charcoal or dark blue suits, rather than black
  • Open neck shirt under jacket is acceptable
  • Avoid white shirts - opt for pastel, striped or check.
  • Do wear a suit and tie on TVNZ's NZI Business

Women:

  • Simple rather than fussy designs.
  • Neutral colours in jackets and suits
  • Regular makeup in natural tones
  • Softer rather than bright shades of lipstick

Avoid:

  • White shirts
  • Short skirts
  • Short socks
  • Pens and eyeglasses from pockets.
  • Unnecessary or loud jewellery
