One of the most common questions we get asked from our brand and retail partners is how they can improve their imagery for outfit content.
2. The more images, the merrier
Lifestyle-inspired imagery is an increasingly popular choice for fashion retailers. However, it can also present some unique challenges for your customer. For example, the model’s movement or body placement can obstruct key elements of the garment, which can, in turn, prevent your customers from getting an accurate view of the full item.
Banana Republic provides a ghost mannequin shot along with several on-model views of their products. This allows the customer to see the item on its own, but also on a body.
Consider including a soldier shot or ghost mannequin shot in your photography line-up. It will provide your customers with an accurate and distraction-free representation of the item. Furthermore, it speeds up the image editing process for your outfit content so you receive your outfits even faster. The more pictures you can provide, the better.

3. Don’t settle for low resolution
To ensure you have the clearest images on your site and within your outfits, you’ll want to aim for high-resolution images. As a general rule of thumb, we recommend that the product images you use for your outfit content are minimum 500px on their long axis. This will result in a beautiful, engaging outfit that your customers will love!
