What Not to Wear: Style Mistakes to Avoid
1. Overly Casual or Sloppy Clothing
While Bitcoin culture does skew casual, a ripped T-shirt, sweatpants, or stained sneakers send the wrong signal. Even conference attendees expect a baseline of neatness. Avoid anything too baggy, wrinkled, or ill-fitting. Business casual or smart casual is safer.
2. Loud Graphics, Provocative Slogans, or Meme Shirts
A graphic tee with memes, bold slogans, or political statements might spark unintended reactions or distract people from your ideas. You want attention for your innovation—not your shirt. Choose subtle branding or plain, clean patterns.
3. Overly Formal Black-Tie or Evening Wear at the Wrong Time
Unless you have a gala or keynote dinner that specifies formal attire, wearing a tuxedo or full evening gown during daytime sessions can feel out of place. It can alienate you or make people wonder what you’re up to. Keep formal wear reserved for clearly marked evening events.
4. Uncomfortable or Unwalkable Shoes
Conferences involve lots of walking. High heels that pinch, dress shoes without cushioning, or shoes you haven’t broken in yet can lead to discomfort, distraction, and a shrinking of your presence. Opt for polished but comfortable shoes.
5. Excessive Accessories or Noisy Items
Clanging jewelry, dangling items that brush mics or click pens, or anything that creates visual noise detracts from your presence. Keep accessories minimal, and avoid heavy bags, large belts with jingles, or multiple dangling charms.
6. Ignoring Local Climate & Layers
Even if the outside climate is hot, conference halls are often heavily air-conditioned. Avoid wearing only tank tops or extremely light materials. Instead, bring layers—blazers, light sweaters, or scarves—so you aren’t shivering mid-session.
What Not to Say: Verbal Missteps That Can Hurt You
1. “I’m just here to listen / sprucing up my resume”
While humility is good, starting with self-deprecation weakens confidence. Rather than disclaiming your worth, focus on what you bring and what you hope to learn. A more confident opener: “I’m excited about learning more about Layer 2 scaling” sets a tone of purpose.
2. Bragging, Name-Dropping, or Showing Off
Talking too much about who you know, how many tokens you hold, or your swagger can feel insecure or offputting. Focus on people, value, questions—not self-aggrandizement.
3. Using Too Much Jargon Without Context
Dropping domain-specific acronyms or technical terms to impress can backfire if the listener doesn’t follow. Only use jargon when needed—and be ready to explain. Clarity is more persuasive than cleverness.
4. Overly Aggressive Sales Pitches or Hard Closings
If your first line is “Let me pitch my product,” people may tune out. Avoid forcing a sale at a first meeting. A gentler approach like “Would you like to see a quick demo later?” works far better.
5. Dismissing Others’ Views or Interrupting
Conferences are about exchange. Interrupting speakers or dismissing their viewpoints is insulting and alienates people. Let others finish, ask respectful questions, and show you’re listening.

Repairing a Misstep Mid-Conference
If you realize you wore something awkward or misspoke, don’t panic. Apologize briefly if needed and shift focus. A small wardrobe adjustment (remove a jacket, tuck a shirt) or smoothing over a comment (“I meant —”) shows presence and humility.
Focus on recalibrating: ask questions, listen more, and let others talk. Let your next actions overwrite a first impression.
Dressing & Speaking Best Practices for Confidence
- Aim for professional casual: neat trousers or chinos, a crisp shirt or blouse, optional blazer.
- Stick to neutral tones with one accent color—less distracting, more polished.
- Keep your badge visible and clean and carry a subtle, functional bag (not a giant backpack).
- Practice a short “elevator intro” you can say confidently when meeting someone.
- Mirror energy: match the tone and pace of your conversation partner, not overaccelerate.
