Quick public speaking tip – What are your clothes saying?

The clothes you wear when you present ... what do they say about you? Yes I know we shouldn't judge a book by its cover, but we do. Everyone does. Audiences do. So what do your clothes say about you? Is that the message you wanted them to convey? The message the audience gets from your clothes needs to support the impact you want to make.

On the other hand, are your clothes making their own statement? Do they stand out so much that they are more interesting than your words or message? 

Consider the thought that you are respecting your audience if you dress at least at their level and perhaps a level above.
