Some looks are just classic. Understated jacket and tie keeping the attention on the person's face

If your industry is more casual there is no need for a jacket and tie. The darker, simple shirt doesn't distract.

A jacket or sweater over a splash of color can add a dynamic flare.

Sweaters or jackets with a splash of color work great for both men or women.

Here are a few tips to make your upcoming headshot session a success:

• Dress to impress within your industry

Every industry has different levels of dress. A lawyer usually dresses differently than a software developer. But no matter your industry dressing to impress will help make your headshot look great.

• Stripes and patterns

Stripes and patterns may look good for your day-to-day wardrobe, but for headshots, you want to stick to solid colors and non-distracting fabrics.

Loud patterns, logos, and large jewelry will take the focus off your face, which is why it’s best to stick to simple color tops and blouses and toned-down accessories.

• Sleeve length

Long and 3/4 sleeves are a good option for headshots.

• Stick with simple jewelry

Accessories are great but we don’t want anything taking attention away from your face.

• Think about possibly wearing layers

Lighter colors or a splash of color under a jacket can add a nice touch.

Another example of a jacket over a splash of color opens up lots of possibilities.

Some industries, such as lawyers, are more formal than others.

Some industries are more casual. The shirt is casual but very neat and doesn't distract.

Don't forget to let your personality show. The bow tie is great. The light pink shirt under a navy jacket is a smart look.
