Headshot Planning: The Four Best Colors To Wear For Headshots
When planning for headshots, one of the things to consider is your outfit. And more specifically, what color attire works best for headshots. Here is a brief article on the best colors to wear for headshots. As well as a few other tips to get the most out of your upcoming professional headshots.
Try Not To Clash With The Background
Whatever color you choose, it is important to not clash with the background. Pure white is one of the most common headshot background colors. And most colors work really well with this type of background. Although white is one of the best colors to wear for headshots, I caution against wearing a white outer colored outfit with a white background. If you plan on wearing a white dress shirt, I recommend wearing a suit coat over it. If you are wearing a white outer outfit, it may blend into the background.
If The Headshots Is For Your Company, Check The Dress Code First
If you are taking headshots for your company, it is important to understand the requirements. Blue is another color that works great for headshots. However, your company may require that everyone wears a black suit coat. Wearing the same color in headshots shows uniformity and consistency. If your headshot happens to be for your own personal branding, feel free to wear whatever color works best for you.
You Can Use Small Accessories To Add A Splash Of Color
Grey is another classic color to wear for headshots. Grey is a neutral color that can look good on pretty much any background. If you want to create a unique look to your headshots, I recommend adding a splash of color with small accessories. For examples, a necklace, earrings, or a pocket square.
Consider Casual Or Formal Attire
Last but not least, black is also one of the best colors to wear for headshots. Black can look great in both casual or formal attire. Before taking your headshots, make sure to consider if a casual or formal outfit would work best. A casual outfit would work well for a teacher or coach for example. And a formal outfit would be a great choice for a banker. I recommend considering who you expect to be viewing your headshot and tailoring the outfit around this.
