[Grad-postdoc-assn] Tips on dressing for a photo shoot

[Valerie Sloan]

Hello again!


Here are some tips on dressing for a photo shoot that I snagged from a
website:
Choosing the right colors

It’s a general rule of thumb with any headshot that brighter colors express
youth and darker colors express maturity. Keep this in mind when
considering the image that will represent your professional persona.

Factor in your skin tone as well. If you have a lighter skin tone, avoid
lighter colors that could make you appear washed out. If you have medium or
darker skin tones, stay away from earthy tones that may be similar to your
skin color.  (- In other words, pick the colors that you think you look
best in!!)
Clothing tips for men:

   - Avoid shiny, reflective materials, like silk ties
   - Stay classy with a dark suit in navy or gray
   - Try to land the color of your tie between the tones of your suit and
   dress shirt
   - Avoid a plain white shirt with no jacket/tie

Clothing tips for women:

   - Stay away from stark white, unless under a jacket, cardigan, or sweater
   - Jewelry should add to an outfit, not detract from it
   - Avoid short sleeves – bare arms usually take away from an executive
