For a professional headshot, choose clothing that reflects how you normally dress when representing yourself or your company. 

Solid colors and simple patterns usually photograph best. Avoid extremely busy patterns, large logos, and distracting graphics.

Navy, gray, black, white, cream, earth tones, and jewel tones are all excellent choices for professional headshots.
