Setting and Purpose
Background Colors: Consider the setting of the shoot. Neutral and solid colors often work best as they don’t distract from the face.
Purpose of the Headshot:
Corporate/Professional: Opt for business attire such as a well-fitted suit, dress shirt, or blouse.
Creative/Artistic: They can choose more casual or trendy outfits that showcase their personality.
Casual/Friendly: Casual attire like a nice sweater or casual blazer can be suitable.

Specific Tips
Avoid Busy Patterns: Solid colors are preferable as patterns can be distracting.
Neutral Colors: Blues, grays, blacks, and whites are safe choices. They tend to be flattering and professional.
Layering: Layers can add depth and interest to the photos. A jacket or blazer over a shirt can be a good choice.
Accessories: Keep them minimal to avoid distraction. A simple necklace or a pair of stud earrings can be enough.
Wrinkle-free Clothing: Ensure clothes are clean and wrinkle-free for a polished look.

By considering these factors, your client will be well-prepared and comfortable, resulting in a more successful and enjoyable headshot session.
