What to Wear for Senior Pictures
#

The best outfits photograph like you: clean, confident, and comfortable. Here’s how to plan 2-3 looks that work in photos and feel natural.

Plan 2-3 outfits
#

  1. Classic: simple, timeless, clean lines
  2. Personality: something that reflects your style
  3. Statement (optional): bold color, jacket, dressier look, or sport uniform

What photographs best
#

  • Solid colors and simple patterns
  • Well-fitted clothing (not too tight, not too loose)
  • Layers (jackets, overshirts, sweaters) for variety
  • Neutral shoes that match the outfit vibe

Avoid
#

  • Large logos and busy graphics
  • Tiny stripes or tight repetitive patterns (can “shimmer” on camera)
  • Wrinkly fabrics
  • Neon colors that reflect onto skin

Quick checklist
#

  • Steam outfits the night before
  • Bring a lint roller
  • Bring a second pair of shoes
  • Keep pockets empty
  • Bring hair ties and a small mirror
