Nobody ever finds the process of taking senior pictures easy. There are often too many decisions to make, from the perfect location to what to wear.

Remember that these pictures are a treasure for you and your family, so it has to be as close to perfection as possible.

Everyone gets a copy of your pictures which they will remember for a long time. Choosing what to wear can be daunting and nerve-racking, but no worries, we can help you take care of that.

The trick is to choose an outfit that represents you but remains classic and stylish. Just follow the tips in this article, and you are good to go.

Play Dress Up

First things first, you want to dress it up a little. You can never be too dressed up when taking portraits for your senior pictures. A long flowing gown gives so much to the session for the girls. It has a wow factor, especially against natural backgrounds like the beach, flower fields, or sunsets in the desert. A long flowing dress will give you room to twirl, making your pictures a little dreamy and romantic. On the other hand, nothing frames the male body perfectly as a well-tailored suit. A blue, black, or white button-up shirt paired with a well-tailored suit will exude a particular class and confidence in your pictures.

Go Trendy

There is no reason you can’t wear something trendy for one of your outfits. It is most likely trendy because it is hip and fashionable. And in a few years to come, you will look through photos and get to remember the fun and cherished memories. One fabulous trendy fashion for boys is a vertical pinstripe shirt in any color paired with black denim trousers, a chain and lock necklace, and black combat boots. Throw in a black belt to the mix to complete the ensemble. 

Senior girls will look perfect in a trendy pantsuit with a cropped top or a romper paired with funky sunglasses. Our favorite fashion piece is the super-stylish distressed mom jean paired with a white tee tucked in and a pair of white sneakers.

Play with Colors and Patterns

Mixing and matching colors can be fun, especially if you know what you are doing. A general rule of thumb is to choose colors that complement your hair and skin. You can never go wrong with mixing solids or neutral colors such as black, grey, navy, and brown with brighter shades. A navy trouser with a teal blouse or shirt is a classic combo. It doesn’t have to end at just pairing colors; try a hand at pairing patterns, too, such as floral, plaid, or stripe, with solid colors. An example is the timeless floral gown with a denim jacket.

Look out for Textures

Pairing different textures together is fun and can bring your outfit to life. An outfit with the same color can go from basic to stylish when you play around with different textures. There are several textures to choose from: denim, corduroy, silk, satin, leather, cable knit, etc. For example, simple denim trousers and a white cotton tee combo become classic and timeless when adding a leather jacket. 

Dress for the Weather and Season

Apart from the fact that you will look silly putting on a thick coat on a warm summer afternoon, there’s also the comfort factor to consider. A sleeveless print dress may be perfect for the summer, but it’s no fun in cold, freezing weather. The quality of your pictures depends mainly on how comfortable you are in your outfit. You can wear extra layers of clothes in winter and still look stylish. For example, a warm hat on your head or a scarf tied around your neck can look classy and timeless. 

Dress for the Location

Your pictures can either be in an urban setting or nature shots. Whichever location you choose, you must wear the appropriate clothing. You will look out of place putting on a well-tailored suit or stilettos to a photo session in a field of flowers. Nature shoots require more laid-back and relaxing clothing, for example, a floral gown that blows in the window or simple blue jeans with a white shirt and boots.

Use Minimal Accessories

Jewelry and accessories can be distracting huge pieces. Earrings, necklaces, bracelets, hats, sunglasses, etc., can make or break your outfit. You may want to avoid large and clunky pieces that will make you cringe when you look back at your pictures in 20 years. Minimalist and straightforward accessories such as teardrop earrings, slender chain necklaces, or a simple bracelet are always your best bet. 

Wear Extra Layers

Layering will help you create more looks than having to buy actual new complete outfits. Essential items you already own like tank tops, white shirts, denim jackets, coats, or cardigans, will enable you to experiment with different outfit ideas. The first thing to consider is only to layer your top half when layering. Secondly, always layer the thinner and lighter fabrics before adding the chunky item last.

Wear the Appropriate Shoes

Shoes complete your outfit, and having the appropriate footwear improves the quality of your pictures. Putting on sneakers with casual clothes and dress shoes like oxfords or brogues with formal wear is suitable for senior boys. Girls, on the other hand, have more shoes. Sneakers or sandals are perfect for casual outfits, or you can switch them up and put on heels (not more than four inches) with a casual outfit to make it more stylish. Just remember to wear shoes that are neat and appropriate for the weather.

Put on the Right Underwear

Whether male or female, your undergarments matter as much as your outfit. We don’t want your bra straps peeking out of your clothing or the color of your panties to be visible through your clothing. Make sure your boxers aren’t visible from your trousers and are not bunching up. 

Conclusion

Now you know it – comfortable and stylish outfits always win. Apart from showing off your confidence level, they’ll also shine through the photos even after several years. When there is no worry or doubt over what to wear, you can take your pictures with beautiful, natural expressions. You can follow the tips on this post to choose outfits that are true to your style and remain classic.
