One of the most common questions before a portrait session: what should I wear? And it’s no wonder – your outfit has a big impact on the overall feel of the photos. The good news? You don’t need to be a fashion icon – just be yourself, in the right tones.
- Choose natural tones: Beige, earthy colors, and pastels look beautiful in natural light – and they keep the focus on you.
- Avoid large logos and busy patterns: They can be distracting and might make the photo feel dated over time. Simple, clean pieces are much more timeless.
- Don’t be afraid to layer: A loose jacket, cardigan, or scarf adds not only style but a sense of movement to the photo.
- It’s all about the mood: Think about what you want your photos to express – serious, playful, natural, elegant? Let that guide your outfit choice.
And most importantly: feel good in what you wear. If you’re comfortable, it will show on your face, too. The goal isn’t to look like someone else – it’s to show up as the best version of you. Authentically.
