What to Wear for Your Headshot Session

When you are getting prepared for your headshot session, it can get very overwhelming. To help you, here are 10 tips for what to wear for your headshots.

For a slimmer look, form-fitting and figure-hugging is definitely best.
Avoid patterns as they may detract from your face.
Think textures. Textures like lace, ruffles, sequins, and ruching add visual interest.
Bring a variety of colors. Something light. Something dark. A pop of color that brings out your eyes.
Avoid cap sleeves. Sleeveless is great on toned arms. 3/4 sleeves are universally flattering and slimming.

Consider layers. Add a form-fitting jacket or slim knit cardigan.
Look for a variety of necklines to mix up your looks.
Select jewelry that speaks to your style. Subtle or bold? Bring the pieces that are true to you.
Bring coordinating bottoms. Many shots are 3/4 length. Bring pants or skirts that match your tops.
Bring appropriate undergarments. Foundational pieces (like shapewear) will help you look and feel great!
