Your brand photoshoot is an investment in your business’s visual identity, so choosing the right outfits is crucial! But with so many options, where do you even start? This guide will address the essentials like flattering your body type, selecting effective colors, whether hiring a stylist is right for you, and prioritizing comfort for on-camera confidence.
Dress for Your Body Type
Embrace Your Shape
Understanding your body type empowers you to choose flattering styles. Are you an hourglass, pear, apple, etc.? Online resources offer tips for dressing each type.
Highlight Your Assets
Play up your best features! Flowing skirts for amazing legs, fitted tops for a defined waist, etc.
Comfort is King/Queen
No matter your shape, tight or constricting clothing will translate on camera. Opt for pieces that allow movement and make you feel fabulous.
The Power of Color
Brand Alignment
Stick to your brand color palette for cohesive visuals that pop! Unsure about your palette? A quick consult with a graphic designer is worth it.
Skin Tone Matters
Choose colors that complement your complexion for a radiant glow. Warm skin tones excel in earthy hues, while cool tones shine in jewel shades.
Neutrals Can Be Chic
Don’t be afraid of neutrals like black, white, or cream. These create a timeless look when paired with pops of color or statement accessories.
Should You Hire a Fashion Stylist?
Budget Check
Stylists add expense; factor this into your budget alongside your photographer.
Your Comfort Level
If you’re a fashionista, you might not need one! But if wardrobe woes cause stress, a pro can be lifesaver.
Stylist Specialization
Look for stylists with experience in brand shoots, as this differs from editorial or personal styling.
Feeling Your Best = Looking Your Best
Fit is Everything
Ill-fitting clothes will show on camera. Have items tailored or opt for pieces with forgiving styles and fabrics.
Accessorize Wisely
Jewelry, scarves, or a statement bag can elevate a simple outfit. Choose accessories that reflect your brand vibe.
Confidence Boosters
Wear those feel-good shoes or your lucky necklace. If it makes you feel like a rockstar, it will translate in the photos.
Additional Tips
Test Run
Snap photos of potential outfits (with shoes and accessories!) beforehand for an objective review.
Layers and Options
Bring layers like jackets or cardigans for versatility and to combat potential weather or temperature changes.
Undergarment Smarts
Choose seamless options in colors that blend with your skin tone for a smooth look.
Summary
Choosing the right outfits for your brand photoshoot is about more than just looking great; it’s about feeling confident and projecting the best version of yourself and your business.
