Tips For Successful Business Portraits

Men - Suit and tie is recommended for the professional. Which tie? See the colors and what they can mean below. If you are after a more casual look a dress shirt and tie is acceptable. The shirt should be full length sleeves. Clothing should be pressed and shoes polished.

Women - Dress, Dress suit, dress pants, blouse, tailored jacket. If you are wearing a blouse the sleeves should be full length. Clothing should be pressed and shoes polished. Wear your hair and make-up the way you normally wear it. Trying something new can result in a look you are not used to and be a disappointment to you.

TIP: Darker, solid clothing is slimming and so are vertical pleats-

Eyeglasses- To prevent glass glare, try to have your lenses removed.  If this isn't an option, ask your optometrist or local eyeglass store, if you can borrow or rent a pair of empty frames. Glass glare can sometimes be prevented by tilting your glasses, but this is not foolproof.

What NOT to wear:
No white or light beige/pastel shirts without a jacket. White reflects the light and destract from the main focus- your face!
No bold patterns–whether on a shirt, tie or jacket. In a group, bold patterns take away a sense of cohesiveness, but sometimes it works alone as seen in the image above.
Also, if the image is going to be used online, bold patterns can created optical illusions that are distracting.
