What to wear for your corporate headshot session

Corporate Headshots
Written By Ksenia Kolesova

A great headshot starts long before you step in front of the camera. Choosing the right outfit helps keep the focus where it belongs—on you. Your clothing should complement your professional image, never compete with it.

Choose Timeless Colors

Solid, classic colors photograph beautifully and create a polished, professional look. We recommend:

  • Navy

  • Charcoal

  • White

  • Black

  • Emerald

  • Burgundy

These shades work well on camera and remain timeless for years to come.

What to Avoid

To ensure your portrait looks clean and sophisticated, avoid:

  • Busy patterns

  • Thin stripes

  • Neon colors

  • Large logos or graphics

  • Wrinkled clothing

Simple, well-fitted clothing always photographs best.

Keep Accessories Minimal

Jewelry should enhance your look without drawing attention away from your face. Choose simple, understated pieces that complement your outfit.

Hair & Makeup

A natural, polished appearance is always the best choice. If possible, bring a brush, comb, and powder for quick touch-ups before your session.

One Last Tip

We recommend bringing two outfit options to your session. We'll help you choose the one that looks best on camera and best represents your professional image.
