What to Wear For Your Brand Photoshoot

What to Wear to Your Brand Photoshoot

(From Me 💚)



Feeling the butterflies about what to wear? Don’t worry — I’ve got you. Think of your brand photoshoot as a chance to show off who you are, through outfits that feel so you and photograph beautifully.

💃 Wear What Makes You Feel Confident — and Yourself

  • Comfort + confidence is everything. If something doesn’t feel right (too tight, itchy, unflattering), skip it. If you don’t feel good in it, it will show in the photos — and we want you to LOVE how you look.

  • You don’t need to “change yourself.” This session is about capturing the real you — as you are today.

🖌️ Lean Into Your Brand — Colors, Vibes, Style

  • If you have brand colors, let them shine — wearing them makes your photos feel cohesive and “on-brand.”

  • Think about the overall feel you want: bold & bright? Soft and neutral? Classic and clean? Your wardrobe helps tell the story.

Layers, Textures & Details — Little Touches Matter

  • Layers and textured pieces (like a blazer, a cute jacket, fun sleeves, mixed materials) add depth and personality to images. They help your photos feel more interesting and dynamic rather than flat.

  • Simple accessories — jewelry, hats, fun shoes — can elevate a simple outfit into something photoshoot-worthy.

🧳Pack a Few Outfit Options — Variety Is Your Friend

  • I recommend bringing up to three outfits if you can: think “casual,” “polished professional,” and “something with personality or flair.”

  • Mixing wardrobes (e.g. one outfit with bold colors, another with muted neutrals) gives variety in your gallery so you have options for different moods, platforms, or uses.

Some Outfit Ideas I Love (and Often Use for Clients)

  • A classic white button-up — crisp, clean, timeless. Pair it with jeans for a relaxed vibe, a skirt for feminine flair, or tailored pants for a sleek/business look.

  • A blazer — instantly brings a polished, professional feel.

  • A jumpsuit — easy, one-piece magic. Simple to style, but powerful on camera. Comfortable and chic.

  • A pop of bold color — like a bright blazer or statement piece — especially if it fits your brand’s vibe. Colors can add personality that makes your photos stand out.

  • Neutrals or all-white outfits — classic, clean, polished. They photograph beautifully, and can be timeless.

  • A hat or subtle accessory — a simple hat or piece of jewelry can change the mood of a photo and add a hint of personality or style.

Where to Look for Outfits (Even on a Budget)

  • First — dig in your closet. Chances are you already own something photo-ready. That’s sustainable and often more “you” than a brand-new outfit.

  • If you do want something new: look at boutiques, small shops, thrift stores (yes — great finds can be hiding there), or even big retailers like Target.

  • And if time is tight, online retailers (with easy returns) can help too — just leave yourself wiggle room for shipping or swaps.

Your Photoshoot Wardrobe ≠ Everyday Clothes — It’s a Chance to Shine

  • Don’t overthink it. The best outfit isn’t always the most expensive — it’s the one that feels like you and makes you feel confident.

  • Treat this like dressing up for something special — because you are. This is your moment to show your personality and your brand to the world.
