What Color Shirt Should I Wear for a Passport Photo?

For a passport photo, it's best to wear a shirt in a solid, neutral color. Here are some recommendations:

  • Dark Colors: Choose dark colors like navy blue, dark gray, or black. These colors provide good contrast against the typically light-colored background of a passport photo.
  • Avoid White or Light Colors: Shirts that are white or very light can blend into the background, which is usually white or light-colored, reducing contrast.
  • No Patterns or Logos: Solid colors are preferable. Patterns, logos, or busy designs can be distracting and take focus away from your face.
  • Avoid Uniforms or Camouflage: Clothing that resembles a uniform or has a camouflage pattern should not be worn.
  • Comfortable Fit: Ensure the shirt fits well and you feel comfortable in it, as this can affect your posture and expression.

Choosing the right shirt color helps in making your face the focal point of the photo, which is essential for identification purposes.
