info_outlineWhy You Need to Listen This Week!
Fashion Besties, this week we’re kicking off 2025 with an episode packed full of must-know tips and practical advice to elevate your online presence.
Whether you’re updating your professional headshot, revamping your LinkedIn profile, or perfecting your dating app pictures, this episode of the Fashion Crimes Podcast is here to help you put your best face forward!
Tune in for expert advice, actionable steps, and, of course, a little Holly-style humor to keep you inspired.
Your profile picture is your virtual first impression, and we’re diving deep into how to make it count. If you’ve been putting off updating your photo or are unsure where to start, this episode is exactly what you need.
2025 will be the year you show everyone just how good it can get if they hang with you.
Key Talking Points
1. The Importance of a Great Profile Picture
Your profile photo sets the tone for how others perceive you online, whether it’s for business, casual relationships, or dating.
It’s a non-negosh to have a current, high-quality image that reflects both your personality and professionalism for who you are today. Not 5 years ago or not next year when you lose weight. Today.
Avoid outdated headshots that no longer represent you or unprofessional casual snapshots that won't do you any favors. We all have those floating around somewhere.
2. What Makes a Perfect Professional Headshot
Invest in a skilled photographer who specializes in headshots. This is not the time for DIY attempts or relying on coworkers or family members to shoot your picture in the backyard.
Wardrobe tips: Choose outfits that reflect your industry but also inject some personality—think bolder colors and structured clothing that will flatter your figure. No thin, clingy, or stretchy fabrics that can show problem areas or clothing that is too revealing. On the flip side, stay away from boring, predictable white shirts and blue blazers. Color = confidence.
Hair and make-up: Think "camera ready". This means more hair styling and make-up that you would normally wear that will show up on film. Hair and make-up styling by a professional is key. The proof is in the final images. You won't regret taking this extra step.
3. Crafting a Memorable Dating Profile Picture
Dating photos should exude warmth and personality without crossing into professional territory. Just say no to using your office headshot! #Dontdoit
Recommendations: Start out with an updated picture of you from the waist or from your bust line up, in a well-lit environment. You can never go wrong with using pictures of you shot outside with natural light.
Using additional pictures to showcase hobbies or interests, like outdoor activities or social events is always a good idea.
4. Common Mistakes and How to Avoid Them
BUSINESS photos for PERSONAL profiles: Avoid using your office headshot on dating profiles. People want to know you outside of work. Keep the tone casual and approachable with personal pictures.
Ignoring updates: If your photo is more than three years old, it’s time for a refresh. #FACTS
Lack of wardrobe preparation: Holly advises always having versatile, stylish options in your closet to avoid last-minute shopping panics. Listen to the full episode for wardrobe suggestions!
Closing Thoughts
Your profile picture is more than just a photo; it’s a key part of your personal brand. A thoughtfully updated image can open doors, create connections, and help you stand out—whether you’re looking for career growth or meaningful relationships. #TRUTH
THE TIME IS NOW. It's time to book your photographer, prep your wardrobe, and show the world you look too good to be ignored. #YAASSSS
HOT TIP: Go back and listen to Episode 180 for more headshot tips, and check out Holly’s Pinterest Board for that episode.
