If you really want to be remembered, consider trademark clothing, i.e., you are known for wearing funny ties, glasses, hats, etc. Fun presenters can wear fun clothing but within the limits of your industry. I'm not going to pretend to be Mr. Clothes Horse (I've been accused of looking too corporate), but I will offer a few tips that should help you out.

JANUARY 12, 2011
A subdued Sarah Palin, with her hair down and no trademark twang in her recitation, spoke for about eight minutes. No, it wasn't a Checker's speech.

One of Detective Columbo's trademarks is that he would start to leave and when he was almost out the door he would stop and say, "Oh. Do you remember the soft-spoken, cigar smoking detective on the hit TV series "Columbo?" Most people do because the show is still in reruns all over the world and once in a while a new episode comes out. Just one more thing."

Rhetoric & imagery in Obama's victory speech
Max Atkinson
NOVEMBER 10, 2008
3rd item contrasts with the first two; and this ‘not red states-not blue states-but United States’ line harks back to Obama’s speech at the 2004 Democratic Convention, that first brought him to wider public notice, where he used it to introduce the ‘politics of hope’ theme that has become one of his trademarks. The Independent on Sunday asked me to annotate Barack Obama’s victory speech last week, the results of which were published on 9th November.
