How to choose the right Outfit for your LinkedIN Headshot in Boca Raton
First impressions matter—especially on LinkedIn.
Your profile photo is the first thing people see before they ever read your headline, resume, or message. That means your outfit plays a major role in how you’re perceived. At Annett Meyer Photography, I help Boca Raton professionals create polished, authentic LinkedIn headshots—and choosing the right wardrobe is key.
Here are my top tips to help you dress for success in your upcoming headshot session:
✅ 1. Keep It Simple and Classic
Avoid loud patterns, flashy logos, or trendy fashion choices. They can distract from your face—and that’s the focus of your headshot. Stick to solid, neutral or jewel-tone colors that flatter your skin tone.
Good options:
Navy, charcoal, soft white, burgundy, olive, teal
Soft textures like cotton, silk, or lightweight knits
✅ 2. Dress for Your Industry (and Your Aspirations)
Are you a financial advisor? Aim for polished and corporate. A creative entrepreneur? Go more relaxed but intentional. Think about the job you want—or the client you want to attract—and dress accordingly.
Examples:
Corporate/Finance: Blazer, button-down, tailored blouse
Creative/Startup: Clean sweater, modern top, layered jacket
Personal Brand: Something that shows personality but still feels professional
✅ 3. Avoid All-White or All-Black
Pure white can wash you out, and all black can lose detail in photos. If you love these colors, pair them with a jacket, scarf, or accessory to add contrast and structure.
✅ 4. Make Sure It Fits Well
Baggy clothes can make you look larger on camera, while overly tight clothing may photograph uncomfortably. Try everything on before your session, and check how it fits while sitting and standing.
✅ 5. Bring a Backup Option
Can’t decide between two looks? Bring both! During our session, you’ll have time for at least one outfit change. Sometimes the second look ends up being the favorite.
✅ 6. Keep Jewelry and Accessories Minimal
Simple earrings or a clean necklace are great, but avoid anything too large or shiny that competes with your expression. The goal is to draw attention to your eyes, not your accessories.
✅ 7. Prepare the Day Before
Iron or steam your clothing, check for pet hair or lint, and bring your pieces on hangers to avoid wrinkles. Feeling prepared will help you arrive confident and relaxed.
