Professional headshots attire and what to wear

Before you attend a professional headshot session, there are some recommendations on what you should wear in order to ensure the best possible results for your photoshoot.

Avoid wearing bold patterns

Bold patterns can often distract from the main focus of an image, and in a professional headshot, the main focus should be on you. Ensure that you opt for more plain clothing and avoid bold patterns such as floral styles or animal prints. Suitable lines or simple chequered patterns are fine if they look professional.

Stick with business attire

Business attire such as shirts, blazers and ties are often a great option for professional headshots, although depending on your industry you may want to opt for a smart casual style instead. As a general rule of thumb, casual attire should be avoided such as hoodies or tracksuits as they won’t represent a professional image. 

Think about the colour 

The colour of your clothing can also impact how you are perceived by professionals. Dark colours tend to be associated with authority, conservativeness and formality, whilst lighter colours are considered to be more friendly and approachable. Depending on what you want to convey, you should think about the colour scheme of your outfit
