What should I wear for a professional headshot?

Choosing the right outfit for your professional headshot is crucial to making a great first impression. The key is to show off your personality and features in a way that attracts the viewer.

Here are some general tips to help you select the best clothes for your session:

1. Keep it Simple: Solid colours work best. Avoid busy patterns, logos, or overly bright colours that might distract from your face.
2. Consider Your Brand: Wear something that reflects your profession and personal brand. Your headshot should reflect how you look when someone meets you for the first time in real life.
3. Layers Add Depth: A blazer or jacket is often recommended to help add some structure to your look. It also gives you the opportunity to change your look by changing the layers.
4. Consider the Usage: Headshots don’t exist in a vacuum. Consider where it will be used and choose a style that matches that location.
5. Select Your Background: If you’re shooting against a specific color background for brand reasons, select colors that work well with that in mind.
6. Consider Your Audience: Depending on where your customers see your headshot, you should adjust the level for formality to suit. For example, LinkedIn tends to be a more formal platform.
