Top 5 professional headshot tips to look incredible

What should you wear for a professional headshot? 

Choosing the right outfit can be challenging. It can make or break your headshot. We have 5 tips for headshots that we recommend following for the best results.

#1 What to wear

Wear a long sleeve shirt or jacket.

When you do this you are eliminating the chance to have too much skin showing in your headshot photo. 

#2 Colors

Avoid busy patterns and loud colors. Wearing solid colors will keep the focus on you rather than what you are wearing.

#3 Hairstyle

Have your hair done professionally.

This is always beneficial but be sure to get it styled in a similar way that you wear your hair on a daily basis.

#4 Hydrate

Stay well hydrated.

Seems simple enough, but drinking plenty of water in the days leading up to your photo session will help your skin look amazing. 

#5 Relax & Have Fun

Relax and have fun.

The goal is to get genuine smiles from you. This happens when you have real emotions during the session.

What is the best color to wear for a headshot?

  • Plain colors are the best choice. 
  • Patterns are too busy and distracting for a headshot photo. 
  • Avoid flesh tones, beige, peach, browns, or yellows. As these will blend your face and arms into the outfit.
  • Keep color choices in the mid-tone range. 
  • Purples, blues, greens, can be flattering.
  • Black and grey are a safe bet.
