6 Tips To Consider When Selecting Your Headshot Outfit

You finally pulled the trigger and invested in a photographer to update your professional headshot, well done! But now you find yourself stressing over what to wear. No worries, I got you!

BOLD, SOLID COLORS

Implement bold, solid colors that flatter your complexion to help your headshot to pop.

JEWEL TONES

Sapphire blue, ruby red, amethyst purple, emerald green, and citrine yellow feel warm and create a personable, inviting look.

DARK OR NEUTRAL

Black, charcoal, navy, or various cream tones feel sophisticated, timeless and lean more on a modern or executive vibe.

WELL TAILORED

Too loose or too tight pieces will make you look messy or photograph bigger than you

are. Aim for well tailored and sleek pieces. Maintain a streamlined appearance and help define your waist by tucking in your top.

DON’TS

Avoid fresh tones, neon colors, busy prints, patterns, big logos or graphics. Unless they are a uniform or company shirt, they will date your photo.

TEST IT OUT

Put together an outfit that is consistent with your brand. Try it on and ask yourself if the outfit makes sense for your target audience? Does it portray your personal brand presence?
