What to Wear for Corporate Headshots, Men<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Corporate headshots for men typically require a very specific outfit selection, but aside from choosing a suit, there are several considerations that aren\u2019t completely obvious but make a huge difference in the final photo. Below are the best guidelines for preparing and selecting what to wear for your corporate headshot if you\u2019re a man, things you should be aware of, and how to pair a shirt and tie with the suit for best results.<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Fit<\/b><\/p>\n

Whatever you wear, make sure it fits you well. Baggy, loose clothing looks unprofessional and tends to bunch up and make you look larger than necessary. One way to test whether a shirt isn\u2019t fitted enough is to sit down while wearing it. If the shirt starts bunching at the bottom, it\u2019s too large.\u00a0 It\u2019s also really important to choose and try on clothing you\u2019re considering a few days before your session – it gives you the chance to tailor your shirt and jacket or choose another outfit for your headshot.<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Colour<\/b><\/p>\n

Choose colours that complement your hair as well as your complexion. Take colour psychology into consideration. What message do you want to convey using colour? Not sure which colours look best on you? Look at previous photos or ask people you trust.\u00a0\u00a0Also, keep in mind that solid colours are always better for photos. Not only do they look more professional but they\u2019re not distracting and won\u2019t look outdated a few years from now.\u00a0\u00a0And if your headshots will be used on a website and in marketing materials, consider the company brand colours as well. Find small ways to work these colours into your outfit or consider how the brand colour will show up around your image, so that your photos are complementary.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Wrinkles<\/b><\/p>\n
Make sure to press, dry clean, or iron the clothing you\u2019re going to wear to make sure your jacket and shirt won\u2019t have any wrinkles. If you have any concerns about driving or traveling, bring your suit jacket on a hanger and put it on right before your headshot.<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

 
\n <\/p>\n

Undershirt<\/b><\/p>\n
You might wear an undershirt daily, but they do tend to show up in photos since studio lighting is used. It\u2019s best to skip the undershirt for your headshots.<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Patterns and Stripes <\/b><\/p>\n

Patterns and stripes might look great day to day, but for headshots you definitely want to stick to solid colours and non-distracting fabrics, especially when it comes to selecting the collared shirt you\u2019re going to wear. The key is to keep things tidy and simple so that the attention is on your face, not on what you\u2019re wearing. That doesn\u2019t mean no patterns at all, but choosing smaller patterns that aren\u2019t distracting and pairing them with solid colours for balance.<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Ties<\/b><\/p>\n

If you plan on wearing a tie in you headshot, make sure it\u2019s tied correctly and the knot is tight enough to not sag in the middle. You will also want to double check that the tie is centred. Colour-wise, always test the colour combination by placing the tie on top of the clothing you plan on wearing to make sure it works well and is visually pleasing. And if you have any difficulty in making that selection yourself, feel free to bring tie options to your headshot session.<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

The best corporate headshot outfit for men?<\/b><\/p>\n

A well-fitting navy or grey suit is a probably the best option when taking corporate headshots and is perfect for those in more professional industries like finance and business. Don\u2019t forget to accessorize with a belt, pocket square, or add a tie to bring in some colour and interest.<\/div>\n
