What to Wear: Choosing the Perfect Outfit for Men
It’s important that your look matches the image you’re trying to convey. What you wear on a daily basis is a great place to start. Solid colors are always a good choice, as are tops with strong collars and necklines. Even though you’ll only be shot from the shoulders up, it’s important you’re pulled together from head to toe—you may want a shot or two that are pulled back a bit. Aim for clothes that complement your skin and eye tones and, overall, steer clear of very bold colors.

A well-fitting navy suit is a fantastic option when taking corporate headshots. Those in more professional industries will want to opt for a more conservative look such as this. Don’t forget to accessorize, these items add important details to your look. Brown leather shoes and a belt pair nicely next to the navy which will elevate your style.
Men’s Look 2
Looking for a modern alternative to a suit? This look takes a light khaki blazer a subtle barely there plaid print and pairs it with chinos and a classic chambray shirt, making the outfit read a bit more casual. This is a great option for the man who might not need to look as conservative in his headshots.
Men’s Look 3
For business casual looks or those in a more creative industry, try this look. A bomber is a great alternative to a suit jacket or blazer while still giving you a polished look. Pairing the bomber with a polo, like this sweater knit, will give you the option of going sans jacket in your shots.
Keep your accessories simple with classic white sneakers and a watch to round out the look.
