What to wear to your photoshoot
Wardrobe advice for your photoshoot
-
Wear clean, wrinkle-free clothes.
-
Choose solid colors. Avoid clothes with a floral print, checkered patterns, polka dots, stripes, or other patterned fabrics.
-
Select dark or medium tones. These tend to put more emphasis on your eyes and smile. Avoid light shades which will emphasize your clothes.
-
Wear colors that contrast with your complexion and bring out the color of your eyes. For example, if you have blue eyes, consider a blue or grey shirt. Or, if you have brown or green eyes, choose earthy tones, which will complement your eye color.
Guidance for women
-
Make sure that your clothing is modest. It’s a bad idea to reveal too much skin in the photo.
-
Choose a classy corporate style that shows you’re serious about your career. For example, you might consider a nice blouse or collared-shirt that is paired with a jacket and either slacks or a skirt.
-
Do select jewelry to match your outfit. Be sure your jewelry accents your outfit but doesn’t overtake your appearance.
-
Ensure your makeup is fresh. Choose light- to medium-color eyeliners, eye shadows, and lipstick. Select a lip color that is just a shade or two darker than your skin tone. Avoid dark lipstick.
-
Steer clear of heavy makeup applications, such as mascara that will appear as clumps on closeup photos.


Suggestions for men
-
Wear a dress shirt with a collar.
-
Think about your personal style. For example, you might pair a V-neck sweater or a tie that makes a statement with your shirt.
-
Consider a suit jacket or blazer. Jackets and ties tend to break up the all-white landscape.
-
Stay away from shiny ties that are reflective. (If unsure, bring a second tie to your photoshoot.)
