dress for success — masculine edition

Depending upon your industry + role, generally, when choosing an outfit for your professional headshot, business attire is broadly appropriate.

The more conservative the industry or the more senior your role, the more formal you may want your overall appearance.

Here are some universal recommendations for a classic business look, ensuring you get maximum use out of your headshot.

Suggestions to keep in mind:

• think classy + timeless

• clothes should fit well

• clothes should be clean + unwrinkled

• solid colours are generally recommended

• the darker the colour, the more formal the look

• a more tailored silhouette appears more polished

Start with a button-up shirt (collared, long-sleeved, buttons up the front) or a button-down shirt (same look, but has a button on each tip of the collar, more formal).

For a more professional look, layer a slim-fitting knit sweater, blazer, or suit jacket over top.

A tie (optional) completes a more polished look.

If shots will include your full body, wear dress pants + dress shoes.

Choose socks that are either the same colour as your pants or your shoes.

Finish with a belt in the same colour as your shoes.
