What to wear for professional headshots
Wardrobe choices change how credible your headshot feels online. Use these outfit rules before uploading selfies or generating a professional pack.
What to wear for professional headshots
Your clothes should support your face, not compete with it.
Choose solid colors
Navy, charcoal, white, soft blue, and muted earth tones usually photograph cleanly. Avoid busy patterns close to your face.
Layer for structure
A blazer, structured jacket, or crisp collar adds polish quickly. For creative roles, a clean knit or smart shirt can feel more natural than a full suit.
Match your industry
Finance and legal roles often benefit from sharper formality. Founders, creators, and operators can use smart-casual layers that still look intentional.
Grooming matters too
Simple grooming changes often improve likeness more than a dramatic outfit swap. Keep source selfies consistent with the look you want in the final pack.
