Wardrobe is the easiest thing to get right and the easiest to overthink. A few simple rules keep the focus where it belongs, on your face.
Start With Solids
Solid colors photograph cleanly and never date. Skip loud patterns, logos, and anything trendy that pulls attention away from your expression.
Fit Beats Everything
Clothes that fit well read as polished, no matter the price. A jacket that sits clean on the shoulders does more than an expensive piece that bunches or gaps.
Color and Your Industry
Darker, muted tones tend to read authoritative, which suits law and finance. Softer tones feel more approachable, which can fit creative and personal brands. Choose colors that flatter your skin tone first.
What to Skip
- Busy stripes, checks, and small repeating patterns
- Big logos and slogans
- Brand new clothes you have not worn or moved in
- Heavy, distracting jewelry
Bring Options
Pack two or three tops and a layer or jacket. Before your session, Len walks through your options so the wardrobe supports the shot instead of competing with it.
