There are no "rules"

There are no "rules" when it comes to clothing. The most important thing is that you feel comfortable and you like yourself. You do want to make sure your clothes compliment you and help make you stand out. Having said that, there are some good guidelines to go by.

2

Choose Solid Colors

Choose solid colors and muted tones that are more subdued.

3

Similar Tones

Choose similar tones for your tops and bottoms. A white top and dark pants will make your top look bigger while white pants and dark top will make your butt look bigger.

4

Don't Wear Baggy Clothes

Although a lot of people like to hide under baggy clothes, they can actually make you look bigger, particularly in photos. Choose slim fitting clothes in darker shades. If you have an area that you don’t want to be showcased; ruffles, sheer layers, and draping work wonders in distracting the eye from those areas. Shirts with sleeves are also very flattering on most adults.

5

Texture

Embrace textures in your clothing. Light loves texture and cameras love light. So be good to your photographer and bring some textured pieces.

6

Prints and Logos

Stay away from big prints and busy patterns unless you can break them up with a jacket of some sort. Also, stay away from logos on clothing. Sorry Cowboys fans!

For the Ladies

Bra straps won't do anything to help your outfit look its best. So be sure you bring a set of bras and strap-adjusting accessories to work with any outfit you want to shoot in to keep those straps well-hidden.

8

Iron

If you iron, iron the night before and then hang the clothes for your shoot. If you're wearing something that wrinkles easily, don’t wear it in the car on the way to the shoot – just change at the location.
