Question:

Proper attire for toastmasters club?

by  |  earlier

0 LIKES UnLike

I want to join a toastmaster's club to help with my public speaking skills.

What should I wear. I don't want to make a bad impression by going in my morning college class outfit of jeans, white tee and a hat but I also don't want to come in wearing a three piece suit with a leather suitcase (wall street style).

I just basically want to blend in. Would going in with jeans and a plain polo shirt be ok?

  1. Jeans and a sport shirt that buttons would be better. Appearance is a part of public speaking. I hope you find it to be an enjoyable experience. I spent a few years going through their program and found it to be highly worthwhile and enjoyable. The members are usually a great bunch of fellows.

    p.s. Beware their 'ahh and umm' counter!


  2. Yes perfectly ok to wear jeans and a polo shirt as long as they are clean and without holes. by husband was a member of toastmasters and you can wear what you want.. you should not turn up in jogging gear..  other than that.. jeans are fine and a sweater or a polo shirt in summer.. xx

  3. A nice white shirt or the polo with khakis should be okay.  To me, khakis are a step above blue jeans without being stuffy.

    BTW, good for you taking this class.  Being a good public speaker will really serve you well in a lot of life's arenas.
