\"Smiling<\/figure>

What to wear for headshots? Clothes you would wear on a good workday, in solid colors near your face, with a neckline you feel at ease in. One layer you can take off, such as a blazer or a sweater, gives you a second look, and your own glasses can simply stay on. In the real sessions below, that meant a black dress, a teal suit, an orange sweater and a floral shirt. Each one worked because it looked like the person wearing it.<\/p>

This guide is for anyone planning headshots for LinkedIn, a company website, a team page or the press. Every photo comes from a session in Amsterdam, Rotterdam, The Hague or Leiden. Headshots like these are part of my business photography in Amsterdam<\/a>, and before every session I share outfit suggestions, so you can leave the planning to me.<\/p>

At a glance<\/p>

Colors<\/dt>
Solid colors near your face; one pattern at most<\/dd>

Crew neck, V-neck, turtleneck or an open collar, whichever feels like you<\/dd>
Layers<\/dt>
A blazer, jacket or sweater you can take off for a second look<\/dd>
Extras<\/dt>
Your own glasses; the jewelry you wear every day<\/dd>
Outfits<\/dt>
One or two; a second adds variety<\/dd>
Session<\/dt>
Headshot Photoshoot, with outfit suggestions from me beforehand; for a broader set of you at work, the Branding Photoshoot<\/dd><\/dl><\/div>

Solid Colors or a Pattern?<\/h2>

Solid colors keep the attention on your face, which matters most when a headshot shrinks to a small profile photo. On an office headshot day<\/a>, around fifty colleagues took their turn in front of the same sand-colored backdrop. A bright orange sweater, a green sweatshirt and a beige knit each looked calm and personal there, because nothing competed with the face.<\/p>

A pattern works too, as long as it is the only one. One colleague wore a floral shirt with plain dark trousers, and it simply looked like him. A web designer kept to the same rule in her branding photos in summer and winter<\/a>: a white top with one thin stripe of color, later one bold animal print over a dark top, never two prints together.<\/p><\/div>

What Neckline Works in a Headshot?<\/h2>

In a close frame, the neckline is often the only part of the outfit you see, so it does a lot of the work. Every kind worked in these sessions: a crew neck, a V-neck, a turtleneck, an open collar. The best one is simply the neckline you wear on a good, ordinary day.<\/p>

\"Young<\/figure>

\"Headshot<\/figure>

In a park in Rotterdam, a landscape architect wore a white blouse with the collar open at the neck. Later she changed into a black V-neck dress, the frame at the top of this guide. Both necklines framed her face without any fuss, as her headshots in a Rotterdam park<\/a> show.<\/p><\/div>

From experience<\/p>

I choose the backdrop once I see what you wear. A black sweater went in front of pale frosted glass, a white shirt in front of gray-green panels, a black blazer against fresh green leaves. Light against dark and dark against light: that is how a face stands out, even in a small photo.<\/p><\/div>

A Jacket On, Then Off<\/h2>

One layer you can take off gives you two looks without a second outfit. For his LinkedIn photos along the canals<\/a>, a new consultant wore a black blazer over a gray band-collar shirt. We made both: with the blazer and without.<\/p>

\"Headshot<\/figure>

With the blazer, then without<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>

A knit does the same job. On a cloudy August day, a newcomer to Amsterdam started in a black sweater. Once the air turned warm, he finished in a charcoal T-shirt. Both looks are in his headshots on a cloudy day<\/a>.<\/p>

Glasses, Jewelry and Small Things<\/h2>
\"A<\/figure>

If you wear glasses every day, keep them on, because people should recognize you when they meet you. On the office headshot day, clear frames, round frames and thin metal frames all stayed on. On the Reguliersgracht, a creative producer added round glasses and a tweed cap, and both became part of his autumn headshots on the Reguliersgracht<\/a>.<\/p><\/div>

Jewelry works the same way: what you wear every day also looks natural in a photo. Think of a pair of red earrings, a fine necklace or a watch you never take off.<\/p>

What to Wear for Headshots in Autumn and Winter<\/h2>

In the colder months, a coat often stays on, so it becomes the outfit. Usually, that is the coat you would wear to a meeting anyway. A long black coat with a paisley scarf, a shaggy beige coat with a mustard scarf: each gave a headshot its season.<\/p>

\"Author<\/figure>

A writer’s camel coat did the same against dark brick, in the calm portraits he needed for interviews and press. You can follow his whole walk in his author portraits along the canals<\/a>.<\/p><\/div>

Dressing for Your Work and the Place<\/h2>

Wear what fits your work on a good day, and I will pick a place that suits it. A lawyer in The Hague brought her gown and a teal suit with a black tie-neck blouse. Against a warm stone wall in the March sun, the suit glowed. Her lawyer portraits in The Hague<\/a> began at the Paleis van Justitie.<\/p>

\"Woman

For a branding shoot at a therapy practice<\/a> in Leiden, two psychologists wore soft, easy clothes: a cream zip jacket, a tan polo, a black and white top. Their clothes match a calm room, and that is exactly what new clients should feel.<\/p>

In the business district, a white shirt with rolled-up sleeves suited the glass towers of a new partner’s headshots in the Zuidas<\/a>. That is the simplest answer to what to wear for headshots: the clothes of your best workday.<\/p>

One Outfit or Two?<\/h2>

One outfit is enough, and two are plenty. As my FAQ<\/a> explains, a second adds variety, while a third usually takes time we can better spend photographing. Changing is easy: a nearby caf\u00e9’s restroom, or outdoors when the outfit allows.<\/p>

\"Walking
Her second look: a black dress with white sneakers<\/figcaption><\/figure>

In Rotterdam, the landscape architect changed from the white blouse and rust trousers into a black dress; that one change already gave her gallery two clearly different looks. On the Reguliersgracht, one long coat carried three looks, because only the scarf, the glasses and the cap changed.<\/p>

What Will Your Headshots Be Used For?<\/h2>

Where the photo will live changes what matters most. For a team page, everyone’s own workday clothes are fine, as long as the backdrop and the light stay the same. On the office headshot day, one backdrop held a teal blazer, a plaid shirt and a floral shirt together.<\/p>

\"Waist-up<\/figure>

For the About page of a website, a relaxed look in your own style often works best. Would you like a broader set, with your work, your tools and your places? Then the Branding Photoshoot gives more room, as it did for the web designer above.<\/p><\/div>

LinkedIn shows your profile photo as a small circle, so a solid color and a clear face count most there. Its help page<\/a> explains how to add or change the photo.<\/p>
