• I would recommend you wear something that you feel comf0rtable and think you look good in.  Clothing appropriate for your profession, without ‘out-dressing’ your clients is something to consider– if you are one step above your client’s in terms of ‘dress-code’ you are probably in the right spot.
• A dark suit (perhaps with pinstripes) with a nice shirt and tie is always a good choice for a professional clean look.  You can make it more casual by omitting the tie and leave the shirt undone.
• You may also consider a shirt and vest, or perhaps just a dress shirt for a more business casual look.
• I recommend dress shirts that are darker so the attention is focused on your face

I suggest you avoid the following clothes:

• White dress shirts unless they are under a darker suit (even then, I prefer a darker dress shirt)
• worn, baggy, or fading clothing
• T-shirts
• Turtlenecks or sweaters (unless you have a tight thin sweater)
• Busy pattens like checks, plaids or paisleys
• Short sleeved shirts of any kind
• Light coloured dress jackets (light blue, brown etc)

A successful headshot photography session will be great enhanced by a good selection of clothing.  I usually recommend my clients bring several different clothing items to allow us some options during the headshot session.  Please contact me if you have any questions.

• Always start with something you like and think you look good in; your clothing should match the look and feel of the image you are seeking.  Clothing appropriate for your profession, without ‘out-dressing’ your clients is something to consider– if you are one step above your client’s in terms of ‘dress-code’ you are probably in the right spot.
• Darker clothes tend to work better because they clearly accentuate your face, which is important because many business headshots are used in small spaces like business cards.
• A dark suit for more business-like headshots, or an button up, open collar shirt, or shirt and vest, or shirt and cardigan for a more business/casual look.
• Darker colours could  include black, grey, charcoal, wine/burgundy, navy, green, and brown (attractive hues of course)

You should consider avoiding the following types of clothing:

• Clothing with lots of patterns
• White shirts (unless they are under a darker suit)
• Short sleeved shirts, or shirts with no sleeves (unless you have very slender arms)
• Turtlenecks
• Sweaters or any other bulky fabric
• T-shirts or other casual wear
• Tired, bulky, or faded clothing
