Female Interpreter Attire

white shirt under black leather jacket, big tan scarf

  1. not sure
  2. this just doesn't look professional at all. we should represent ourselves as professionals and look the part.
  3. i do worry, though, that the scarf may be a problem. but at least this outfit is comprised of solid colors.
  4. without the scarf - zip-up coat - maybe a fun type of convention, not a professional convention and not on stage.
  5. too bulky around the face, distracts from facial expression and shoulder movement.
  6. do you want to be shot?
  7. i would not wear this to interpret.
  8. if the jacket is zipped up, then it is acceptable.
  9. too casual, does not look professional. also, the scarf is bulky and distracting.
  10. these must be jokes. the color of the clothes on top should contrast with your skin tone. the scarf is bulky and distracting.
  11. not enough color contrast.
  12. some may try to get away with this (i.e., wear it and hope the d/deaf don't complain). the zipper on the jacket sleeve is distracting and may catch on things if using tasl. the tan scarf depends on your skin tone. it is bulky, maybe okay for outside if necessary.
  13. i have seen so many interpreters wear big tan scarves during my college time. because sometimes the classroom can be freezing!
  14. this may be appropriate in a college class setting.
  15. could possibly be used for the community, but white would not work with this person's skin tone. this does not appear professional, however.
  16. too much light color for this shade. a darker complexion might be able to make this work.
  17. only suitable in performing arts without the tan scarf, and if you can zip the jacket for more contrast as needed.
  18. if the jacket is zipped up, it could be appropriate for some community colleges with more casual dress codes. i'm still undecided about this one.
  19. might be okay in k-12 if they lose the leather jacket and have darker skin so that the sweater will contrast with their skin's color.
  20. without the scarf
  21. too casual and you're not riding horses or motorcycles.
  22. remove scarf upon arrival.
  23. the large scarf is visually distracting.
  24. without the bulky scarf and as long as the black stays over the white top.
  25. too much visual noise; black and white, too much contrast; the scarf is in the way.
  26. remove scarf
  27. not like this. if she took off the scarf and closed the jacket so she had a solid dark background, then it would be alright for most situations that were more "casual".
