CLOTHING TRENDS FOR EVERYONE

What’s Your Style?

Your senior portrait does more than just capture the memory of your achievements in high school—it also captures your unique sense of style. As you plan your outfits for your session, start by thinking about how you’d describe your style to someone else. Do you like to dress more casually? Or do you like to rock your sports jersey everywhere you go? What about keeping it minimalistic and neutral? Whatever your style is, keep it authentically you!

Casual

It’s all about keeping it minimalistic with neutral colors. Pair a black turtleneck layered over the top your favorite graphic tee, with wide-leg jeans and your favorite sneakers or boots.

Suited Up

Get formal with suits in classic black or neutrals, or even vibrant colors. Coordinate your shirt to your suit—white always works, but the right color makes a statement. Don't forget good ties, watches, leather belts and dress shoes.

Retroglam

Go modest, yet playful and never too conservative. Combine knee-length dresses with cinched waists, opaque tights, classic pumps, lush mascara, and hair curlers to top it off.

City Chic

Take your style to the streets. Pair skinny capris with gauzy blouses and pointy pumps or peep toe heels. Finish off the look with simple jewelry.
