Keeping Casual Professional
Solid colours and a tidy fit make a casual outfit look deliberate. Black, navy and grey are the safest; white can blend into a light background.
Pair casual clothing with a simple background such as Gradient. A casual outfit in a formal office setting can look mismatched.
Where a Casual Headshot Fits
Casual headshots suit GitHub, Slack, founder pages, creative portfolios, podcasts and social media. They also work on LinkedIn in fields where people rarely wear collars.
For job applications in law, finance or healthcare administration, a business casual or formal headshot is usually a safer choice.
Crew-Neck, V-Neck or Hoodie?
A crew-neck tee is the cleanest and most versatile casual option: it works on GitHub, Slack, founder pages and most social profiles. A v-neck is slightly softer and can suit lifestyle or creative profiles, while a hoodie is the most relaxed and best kept for gaming, streaming, developer communities or personal accounts.
Colour changes the mood as much as style. Black looks sharp and minimal, navy and grey look calm and professional, olive feels natural and works well outdoors, and white looks fresh but needs a darker background such as Gradient to stand out.
