Figuring out what to wear to your headshots can be stressful! You want to make sure you wear the right colors, the right outfit, the best shoes, and don’t forget about the jewelry! Putting it all together can be overwhelming so I’m here to help you out!
I have a ton of background colors if you’re wanting a solid background behind you! My most popular colors are white, gray and black! When doing large groups for corporate headshots, I would stick to 1 color for the entire group to make it look more cohesive. If you’re wanting your headshots to reflect your company, I would see if they have any guidelines about brand colors!
Here are my top tips on what to wear to your headshot session:
Wear an outfit that matches your brand – This might seem like a no brainer but it really is important! If you choose a plain background, you can wear brand colors in your headshot or do it the other way around! Just make sure you don’t match your background! We want good contrast between you and your backdrop.
Wear something you’re comfortable in! – You don’t want to feel uncomfortable during your photoshoot. Wear something that you know won’t restrict you! Confidence is key, and if you’re comfortable in your body and your clothing.. it will radiate through your headshots!
Solid colors! – Solid colors or subtle patterns are always great for pictures! You don’t want your shirt to distract from YOU! Pick a color that you look great in and run with it! If you have brand colors, try to match your brand or theme in a way that will make your website and social media cohesive!
Accessorize! – Wearing fun jewelry, a hat or a nice watch can really enhance your photos and it’s a great way to showcase your personality! Don’t be afraid to have some fun with it!
Treat yourself to hair and makeup! – These photos are focusing on your face so the professional hair and makeup will totally be worth it! It’s also fun to get pampered sometimes.
If you’re looking to do more fun and less professional headshots, I have tons of tips and I even have a blog post about my favorite locations for those photoshoots! You can read it here.
