Having the appropriate lighting can make or break any photograph that you try to take. If you don't have fancy studio lights, take pictures of your clothing in natural lighting. This will show off the details and colors of your clothing without making them seem harsh and unnatural. It's also the most real way to present the clothing. You won't always have studio lights shining on you. It gives the photograph a more authentic look.
When you're photographing a piece of clothing, you want to make sure that the viewer is focused on the details of the clothing itself. Anything in the background can be distracting and take away from the overall presence of the photograph. To avoid any distractions, photograph your clothing in front of a clean white background. You can create this background using a bedsheet or a sheet of butcher paper. You can do this either standing up or laying flat on a counter.
