What to Wear for Your Professional Headshot Session

April 29, 2024 - Reading time: ~1 minute

Is getting a new headshot on your to-do list for this year? Sometimes figuring out what to wear can be more stressful than the actual photo shoot (but don't worry, it's not worth stressing about!).

To make your decision easier, I've put together some great outfit ideas from my Detroit headshot studio over the past year or so.

Here are some key tips to keep in mind when choosing your outfit:

  • Make sure your clothes fit properly. When in doubt, go for a fitted look rather than something too loose (even if it's a bit snug).
  • Stick to solid colors rather than patterns to avoid distractions. If you want to change things up, light patterns can be a good choice for a second outfit.
  • Keep your jewelry simple and minimal.

Final Thoughts

If you need to do some shopping before your session, I hope these outfit ideas give you some inspiration. If you're still not sure what to wear, feel free to reach out so we can discuss it before your shoot. And don't forget to bring a second outfit option, just in case!
