Would you wear this on TV?

What do you think of our news anchors and presenters on TV, more pointedly, does what they wear ever affect your ability to digest your dinner or breakfast. If one chooses a career in TV, your sartorial choices will be dissected by millions of people and will affect whether you come across as a dignified professional with style or just another pretty face wearing an awful top. The objective should be to appear trustworthy yet stylish. I’m constantly amazed by the wardrobe choices that many news readers and presenters pick which is at best distracting to the viewers and at worst killing their credibility. You do have a style personality but as a trusted news source, you need a state-of-the-art appearance so it is assumed that everything associated with you outclasses the competition. Nothing personal, but I happen to prefer my news readers to have a little grey in their hair rather than appear like they graduated from college yesterday. The gravitas of an older person I think lends more trustworthiness to a newscast. So for the current crop of 'young uns' seen on all channels, you can come across as more mature in the world of journalism (not old and tired) by what you wear. This does not have to sacrifice one’s femininity or youthful vigour but dressing with care to flatter your body type, using the psychology of colour to enhance your appearance and wearing clothes that fit you well. I won’t be handing out individual barbs or bouquets but here are some egregious examples of what not to wear. For women these include – manly looking blazer suits also known as “daddy blazers”, ruffled tops and those shiny blouses(you're reading the news, not auditioning for a musical, conservative should be your byword); and for men – suits that are too big (you look like a school boy trying to dress up, a major credibility killer), black shirts with ties (you look too much like a mafia gangster), tie knots so large that they swallow your neck (please get with the programme, slim ties have been in vogue for a number of years now). Any other style misses you see on TV?
