What should you wear for a video interview?
Full interview outfit, waist-up priority: solid colors, a collar or structured knit, nothing that moires on camera. Dress completely - it changes how you carry yourself.
Video interviews compress the visual signal to a head-and-shoulders frame, which changes the priorities. Wear the complete outfit anyway: the psychological effect is real - people who dress fully sit and speak differently than people in a shirt over sweatpants, and interviewers can tell. On camera specifics: solid colors beat patterns (tight stripes and small checks create a distracting moire shimmer on webcams), mid-tone colors beat extremes (pure white blows out, pure black flattens), and a collar or structured neckline frames the face better than a crew neck. Check your background and lighting first - a window behind you silhouettes you, and a bare bulb above makes shadows under your eyes; face a window or a lamp instead. Do a test recording the day before: what reads as 'fine' in a mirror can read as washed out or rumpled on a compressed video feed. The camera is the interview room; dress for how it sees, not for how your mirror does.
