What to Wear for Headshots

← All articles

Wardrobe is one of the easiest ways to make or break a headshot. The goal is simple: keep the focus on your face. Here's what works.

1. Keep it simple and classic. Skip bold patterns and logos — they distract and date quickly. Solid colors and clean, timeless pieces win.
2. Dress for the purpose. Corporate or professional shots call for polished, industry-appropriate attire. More casual or personal shots leave room for something relaxed that still feels like you.
3. Choose flattering colors. Mid-range tones that complement your skin and hair usually photograph best; very bright or very dark can fight for attention.
4. Prioritize fit and comfort. Well-fitted clothing you feel good in helps you relax — and it shows.
5. Bring options. A few looks give us variety and let us dial in what photographs best on the day.

Above all, wear what makes you feel confident and like yourself. For a deeper dive, check out my Wardrobe Guide — and reach out anytime with questions before your shoot.
