- Solid colors photograph significantly better than busy patterns or fine stripes
- Avoid wearing exact matches to your eye color—complement instead of compete
- Ensure clothes are wrinkle-free and well-fitted to maintain professional standards
- When in doubt, navy blue and charcoal gray work for almost everyone and convey competence
- Bring different necklines for variety in professional presentation
- Avoid trendy colors that may date your professional portraits
