“In the absence of clear contextual teleconferencing rules, one way to look at this might be to not ask the question of how you should look.
Rather, put yourself in place of the person or people that have to look at you during the teleconference, and ask these three questions:
1) Does it demonstrate personal respect for the position you hold?
2) Does it demonstrate respect for your peers?
3) Does it demonstrate respect for the institution of which you are a part?”

“Imagine a video conference in which you are appearing in court, or in a multinational meeting where millions or billions of dollars are on the table, or a meeting where you will be discussing the status of a project or program, and where the daily conduct of business has always been coat and tie, but is now conducted virtually.
Some might ask, “what difference does it make? I’m on time, I’m in attendance, and I know the subject. Who cares what I look like?”
Viewed from the perspective of those that have to look at you, however, the message is completely different.
It not only makes you appear unprepared, it shows a lack of respect for the position you hold (not to mention gravitas), as well as a lack of concern for the responsibilities that have been entrusted to you.
It also shows a lack of respect for those in the virtual “room” with you, and it shows a complete disregard for the institution of which you are a part.”

“Posture and Social Status...
During the 18th century in European and American society, aspects including station in life, status and dress could easily identify those of financial means. In fact, the garments of this era would hold the wearer in a position that would support and require proper posture. Women, and sometimes men, wore stays in order to shape the torso. Among the more privileged, even children wore stays since people believed these improved their posture and enhanced straight spinal growth. Certain movements were constrained by the cut and design of many garments, including details of the sleeve and back that would hold the person in proper posture.”
