Today branding is everything, no matter what your industry and your professional you want to put yourself out there in the public’s eyes and let them understand that you are a leader in your field.

What to wear for your headshots or branding session
When choosing an outfit for head shots, it’s important to keep in mind that your clothing should be simple and not distract from your face. Here are some tips for what to wear:
- Solid colors are best: Choose a solid colored shirt or top. Avoid patterns, stripes, and bold prints as they can be distracting.
- Keep it classic: Stick with classic styles that won’t go out of fashion. Avoid trendy or flashy clothing that could date your headshot.
- Consider your industry: Think about the industry you’re in and what type of clothing is appropriate. For example, if you’re in a creative field like advertising or fashion, you may have more flexibility to wear something unique. However, if you’re in a more conservative field like law or finance, you should choose something more traditional.
- Choose clothing that fits well: Make sure your clothing fits well and flatters your body type. Avoid clothing that is too tight or too loose.
- Keep accessories to a minimum: Keep jewelry and accessories to a minimum. Simple is better when it comes to head shots.
- Be comfortable: Choose clothing that you feel comfortable in. When you’re relaxed and comfortable, it will show in your photos.
