What to Wear for Your Headshots:
Solid Colors:
Choose solid colors over patterns. Solid colors help keep the focus on the face and minimize distractions.
Neutral Tones:
Opt for neutral tones like black, white, gray, or muted colors. These tones are timeless and won't overshadow the subject.
Simple Outfits:
Keep clothing simple and classic. Avoid logos, busy patterns, or clothing with distracting graphics.
Collar Choices:
V-neck or scoop neck tops often work well for headshots. They can elongate the neck and create a flattering frame for the face.
Layers and Textures:
Consider adding layers or textures for visual interest. Blazers, cardigans, or scarves can add a touch of sophistication.
Well-Fitted Clothing:
Ensure that the clothing fits well. Avoid overly baggy or tight outfits, as they can distort the body's proportions.
Accessorize Thoughtfully:
Simple accessories like stud earrings, a watch, or a delicate necklace can add a polished touch without being distracting.
What Not to Wear for Headshots:
Bright or Neon Colors:
Avoid wearing extremely bright or neon colors, as they can cast unnatural reflections on the face.
Busy Patterns:
Steer clear of busy patterns, as they can be distracting in photos. Solid colors are generally more flattering.
Logos and Graphics:
Clothing with prominent logos or graphics can take attention away from the face. Opt for plain, logo-free attire.
Extreme Trends:
Avoid overly trendy clothing that might look outdated quickly. Stick to classic styles that stand the test of time.
Ill-Fitting Clothing:
Ensure that clothing fits well and is tailored to the body. Ill-fitting clothes can detract from the overall look of the headshot.
Overly Revealing Outfits:
Keep in mind the professional nature of headshots. Avoid outfits that are too revealing or inappropriate for the intended purpose.
Strong Patterns or Stripes:
Steer clear of clothing with strong patterns or stripes, as they can create visual distortion in photos.
