How to take your headshot to the next level
Identify Your Body Type: Knowing your body type is the first step to dressing well. There are four main body types, which are apple, pear, hourglass, and rectangle. Measuring your shoulders, bust, waist, and hips can help identify your body type.
Select the Right Silhouettes: Choose silhouettes that flatter your body type. Dressing for your body type means choosing clothes that accentuate your best features. Cinching at the waist can enhance an apple-shaped body. Open-neckline dresses can accentuate a pear-shaped body.
Experiment with Proportions: Experimenting with the proportions of each element of your outfit to create a visually appealing combination. For instance, high-waisted pants or skirts can enhance long legs. Tops with lower necklines can create an illusion of a longer torso. Try finding the best fitting blazer, jacket or sweater for your body shape and build your outfit around that.
Accessorize: Accessories can enhance the overall look and feel of an outfit. For example, belts can create a more defined silhouette for a rectangle-shaped body. Statement necklaces can draw attention to the upper body of a pear-shaped body.
Find the Right Fit: Finding the right fit is crucial to dressing well. Don’t shy away from wearing clothes that speak to you! Don’t be afraid of bold colors or fun patterns; because not everyone feels their best in a black pants suit/blazer. EMBRACE your style and be yourself!
