When it comes to headshots, what you wear plays a significant role in how you're perceived. The right outfit enhances your presence, supports your brand, and ensures your image communicates the professionalism your role demands.

Choose Timeless Over Trendy



Stick with classic styles and neutral colors. Solids like navy, black, gray, or white tend to photograph best and remain relevant over time. Avoid loud patterns or overly trendy pieces that can quickly date your image or distract from your face.

Fit and Form Matter

Tailored clothing always looks more polished on camera. Avoid anything too loose or overly tight. The right fit sharpens your silhouette and communicates confidence.

Layers Add Depth

For corporate looks, structured layers like blazers or suit jackets work well and help add dimension to your image. Choose fabrics that sit smoothly and don’t wrinkle easily.

Dress for Your Industry

What’s appropriate for a law firm may not be the same for a creative agency. Choose outfits that reflect your industry norms while still aligning with your personal brand.

Avoid Distracting Accessories

Keep jewelry minimal and skip any overly reflective or noisy pieces. The goal is to keep attention on your face, not your accessories.

Undershirts and Necklines

For men, V-necks or crew necks under dress shirts are preferred over visible undershirts. For women, opt for modest, clean necklines that frame the face without drawing focus away from it.
