Alright Seniors, summer is coming to an end and that means your last year of high school is about to commence! I know many of you have waited until school starts to schedule senior portraits but getting on the schedule now will ensure that you have a spot this fall.
“What should I wear?” seems to be the most asked question with my seniors and this is my mantra: Classic, Layers and Accessories. Let’s take a look at each one of these and see what I mean!
CLASSIC:
To me, a classic outfit will still look good 25 years down the road. The last thing I ever want my clients to think is “What was I thinking wearing that outfit?” when they look at their senior pictures in 25 years. Seriously, think “big bangs, splatter-paint jeans and button-covered denim jackets”…don’t you just know that all those 80’s seniors are now thinking “why oh why did I wear that!!”
Here is an outfit to me that looks both trendy and classic at the same time:

And here is a more colorful outfit that will maintain that classic look:

LAYERS:
I highly suggest adding layers to your outfits and layers could translate into jewelry, hats, belts, etc. especially during the hot summer months. Layers also allow you to add a touch of today’s current trends with those classic styles.
I personally think this is a perfect example of adding layers. Tailored blazers are really trendy right now but the grey, jean shorts and white tee make it an instant classic. Adding gladiator sandals and cute accessories really make this outfit youthful and fun.

If you really want to make a statement, try using really bold colors with your layers! I LOVE this outfit, the classic line of the flower-print dress and the heels all look heavenly when paired with jewelry and a fabulous crop yellow jacket! Not a fan of flowers or that bold yellow? I suggest using the outfit as inspiration for your own pulled-together outfit.

ACCESSORIES:
Accesorries are like icing on a cake. You can take an outfit that looks good and transform it to “great” by adding a necklace or some bangles.
I like this particular outfit because it’s a perfect example of making an outfit go from “eh” to “fabulous”. Take away those gold heels and gold accessories and the top/skirt is okay but adding everything back in creates a visually appealing outfit.

And this outfit? Well it has it all: classic black and white, layers and great accessories. I usually suggest clients to steer clear of black and/or white in photographs but when put together properly, you will definitely stand out in your senior pictures!

I hope this helps you figure out what to wear for your senior portraits! Another piece of advice…where something that your parents would LOVE to see you wear for your senior pictures! This doesn’t mean you can’t be trendy…you always need to add your personality into your outfits…just think about mom and dad though when creating your outfits!
