What to wear for your Headshot Photo Session

Business casual in solid colors look the best

• Darker colors are preferred like Black, navy blue

• A dark suit jacket (black, gray or navy), white or light colored shirt (ironed) with no undershirt showing is great. 

• whites, ivory, beige

• Grey, mauves and browns

Fit and length

• The clothing should always be very well-fitted. Loose, baggy, or puffy clothing will always make you look bigger than you really are, which isn’t flattering at all. This especially holds true for people with curvier or larger body types. I know the instinct is to try and hide their body behind loose clothing, but that doesn’t work at all. Loose or baggy clothes do not look good on anyone in photos.

Glasses

Please bring clear glasses, not transitions

Press Your Clothing

Take your headshot wardrobe to the dry cleaners or use an iron.

For Women

• V-neck looks great

• Sleeve length should be long or to the elbow. Short sleeves are meh and 3/4 sleeves are an absolute no. Sleeveless is fine when appropriate.

• Style your hair and makeup similar to how you normally do it. Hire a professional stylist if you prefer

For Men

Groomed well in terms of shaving and hair. It’s best to get haircut done about a week before before the headshot day.
