Keep in mind that classics and solids will:
1) read better in a photograph
2) will not look dated after a year or so.

Also consider how much/what parts of the outfit will actually be seen in the photograph. You
would be surprised at how many clients pick headshot outfits by what something looks like on
their waist. Unless we are doing 3/4 body shots or full body shots, you won’t see the waist–
just the upper 1/4 of the top.

Finally, bring a couple (or more) outfits–some dressier, some more casual. This way you can
have a variety of looks to use. Sometimes it can be surprising what really looks amazing on
you.

Clothing should be simple and not detract from your eyes.
- Avoid wearing large or excessive jewelry.
- Bring clothes you feel comfortable in and fit you well.
- Bring different necklines so we can choose the most flattering.
- Black is okay.
- Solid colors work better than patterns or prints.
- Colors darker than your skin tone tend to look best.
- Bring jeans or pants for 3/4 shots.

Stay away from:
-plaids
-shirts with logos/insignias
-shirts with holes in them!
-“worn” looking clothes (the newer the clothes, the better)
-your dad’s golf shirt
