What to Wear: Keynote Speaker

It’s an honor to be chosen as the keynote speaker at an event, but no one wants to have all those eyes on them while they’re not properly dressed for the part. Regardless of if you’re molding the minds of recent graduates or speaking to the leading minds in your field, make sure that it’s your words and not your clothes, at least for the wrong reasons, that stand out for the speech. A good dress code for this kind of event is business casual. Business Casual, presumably, is less formal than the professional attire but still requires careful and crisp coordination that shows the person’s professional status.

What Dress Codes to Wear:

Business Casual

Black Tie

What Not to Wear as a Keynote Speaker:

Anything Showing Too Much Skin

No Shorts, Skirts or Dresses

No Cleavage

No Sneakers
