2. Color in Your Wardrobe

**Color Matters**:

Opt for colors that complement your skin tone. Jewel tones like emerald green, royal blue, and deep purple are universally flattering. Earth tones can also work well, but consider your skin tone.

Cool Undertones
**Skin Tone:** Pink, red, or blue undertones.
**Best Colors:** Jewel tones such as emerald green, royal blue, and rich purples. Cool shades like icy blues, lavender, and crisp whites also work well.

Warm Undertones
**Skin Tone:** Yellow, peach, or golden undertones.
**Best Colors:** Earthy tones like olive green, warm reds, mustard yellow, and terracotta. Cream, coral, and warm browns also look great.

Neutral Undertones
**Skin Tone:** A mix of warm and cool undertones.
**Best Colors:** Versatile shades like jade green, blush pink, and soft white.

Deep Skin Tones
**Best Colors:** Bright and bold colors like cobalt blue, rich purples, and vibrant pinks. Metallics like gold and bronze can also be stunning.

Light Skin Tones
- **Best Colors:** Soft pastels, light blues, and delicate shades like lavender and blush. Bright colors can also work if they are not too overwhelming.

Color Tips

**Test in Natural Light:** Always try clothes in natural light to see how colors reflect against your skin.
- **Consider Your Hair Color:** Hair color can also affect which hues look best, so consider it alongside your skin tone.
- **Accessorize:** If you’re unsure, you can use accessories in your best colors to add pops of color without committing to a full outfit.

Ultimately, personal style and preference play a big role, so choose colors that make you feel confident and comfortable!

3. Textures/Fit

**Patterns and Textures**:

While some patterns can add interest, it's best to avoid overly busy designs that can be distracting. Subtle textures can add depth to your image, so consider fabrics like linen, cotton, or soft knits.

**Fit is Key**:

Clothes that fit well are crucial. Avoid anything too tight or too loose, as these can create unflattering shapes in photographs. Aim for tailored clothing that accentuates your best features without being restrictive.

**Layering**:

Layers can add dimension to your look. Consider wearing a blazer or cardigan over a simple top. This not only provides visual interest but also gives you options to adjust your look during the session.

4. Accessories: Less is More

When it comes to accessories, keep it simple. A statement piece can elevate your headshot, but too many accessories can be overwhelming. If you wear glasses, ensure they are free of glare, and consider removing them for a few shots if you're comfortable doing so.

5. Hair and Makeup

Your hair and makeup should reflect your usual style while enhancing your features.

**Hair**: You should wear your hair as you like it best. If you love the way it looks down, with soft curls, great! If you prefer it sleek and pulled back, go for it! There is no right or wrong when it comes to hair---this is definitely personal style.

- **Makeup**: Aim for a polished look. If you’re doing your own makeup, consider using a bit more than usual to ensure your features stand out on camera. A matte finish is generally recommended to avoid shine. And please, no highlighter as light will bounce unnecessarily!

6. Comfort is Key

Above all, wear something that makes you feel comfortable and confident. If you're uneasy in your outfit, it will show in your photos.
