How to look good on Zoom

Hair clips

If you're looking for a style shortcut look no further: the not-so humble hair clip has been a trend for a while now and it's here to stay. A jazzy hair slide can not only tame bed head and add body to unwashed locks, but it can add a bit of colour or sparkle near the face helpfully flattering a screen-bathed pallor.

Earrings

There's an old piece of advice for learner drivers to wear jangly, dangly earrings when taking their test to ensure the examiner notices every time they move their head to look in a mirror or check a blind spot. Although you're not trying to convince your colleagues or friends of your safety-consciousness on a video call, anything that distracts you from staring at yourself is a bonus in this new virtual office reality. Think bright, think bold, think jingly jangly.

Headbands

Whether padded and princess-like or soft and stretchy, a headband can go a long way to making you look polished when your hair is betraying you, be it a growing-out fringe that you're plucking up the courage to trim at home or the fact you simply haven't had time to wash your hair due to the sudden onset of home-schooling in your household. There's an added bonus: hair will be kept off your face and you may end up subconsciously touching it less (a habit of which you will become painfully aware the more hours you log on a video chat).
