Headshot Clothing Tips
For Women
Solid colors photograph best. Jewel tones (emerald, navy, burgundy, deep teal) are especially flattering.
Avoid busy patterns, logos, and tiny prints — they compete with your face on camera.
Choose structured tops or blazers for a polished look. Even simple, well-fitted pieces elevate the image.
Necklines matter: V-necks, scoop necks, or collared shirts tend to frame the face beautifully.
Keep jewelry minimal and intentional.
Hair and makeup: slightly more polished than everyday — camera lighting softens features.
For Men
Stick with solid, neutral or rich tones (navy, charcoal, olive, deep blue).
A well-fitted jacket or blazer instantly sharpens a headshot.
Collared shirts photograph best; ties are optional depending on your industry.
Avoid thin stripes or small patterns — they can create distortion on camera.
Make sure clothing is pressed and fits properly (fit matters more than brand).
For Everyone
Choose something that reflects your industry and personality.
When in doubt, bring two options — we can decide together.
Most importantly: wear something you feel confident in. Confidence reads on camera.
