expressing yourself. Clothes accent the body movements.
o Your appearance should co ordinate with your clothing.
o Appearance may put the audience either in a resistant or a hostile attitude
or induce in them a receptive mood.
o Your appearance should go hand in hand with the message you want to
convey.
o Appearance communicates about the comfort you feel with yourself & the
energy that oozes to your surroundings.

distributing your weight all communicate professionalism, confidence, and
attentiveness.

posture.

situation to the audience.

uncomfort.posture Depiction

Lean forward Open, honest & interested
Crossed arms Defensive and not ready to listen
Uncrossed arms Willingness to listen

audience & occasion.

to them differ from culture to culture.
