What to Wear for Professional Headshots – Headshots PRO Apparel Tips

The right wardrobe helps create a polished, professional image while keeping the focus on you. At Headshots PRO, we recommend clean, timeless choices that photograph well and align with your personal or corporate brand.

​

General Guidelines

Dark jackets in navy, charcoal, or black photograph best.

Solid color jackets keep attention on your face; subtle pinstripes or light textures are acceptable.

Avoid bright colors, bold patterns, logos, or busy designs.

Choose well-fitted, pressed clothing with crisp collars and lines.

Simple, minimal jewelry is best.

Bring a second outfit for variety and added options.

​

Dress for Your Brand

Select attire that reflects your industry, role, and professional image—executive, corporate, creative, or business-casual. 

​

For Women

Light to medium-toned blouses pair well with darker jackets.

Solid blouses photograph best; avoid medium to heavy patterns or stripes.

Pro tip: Wearing a color that complements your colored eyes can help them stand out.

​​

For Men

Light, collared shirts work best with darker jackets; white is always a strong choice.

Choose solid or very subtle shirt patterns; avoid bold stripes.

Avoid crew-neck undershirts. V-necks are preferred for a clean neckline.

Pro tip: Ties or pocket squares that complement your colored eyes can enhance your eyes more.
