WARDROBE TIPS
Here are my TOP wardrobe tips for your upcoming portrait session. Try to check these off and bring more than you think you'll need. We'll pare down when you get here.
For a slimmer look, form fitting is definitely best! Look for figure hugging clothes. Avoid blousy or boxy tops as they will make you look bigger on camera
Think textures. Textures like lace, ruffles, and ruching add visual interest without overwhelming. Look for textured tops in solid colors. Avoid patterns as they may detract from your face.
Bring a variety of colors-- something light (ivory, white, pastel), something dark (black, charcoal gray, navy), something with a pop of color (something that brings out your eyes is best.)
Consider longer sleeves. 3/4 length and long sleeves are universally flattering and slimming. Sleeveless is great on toned arms or pair with layers to slim arms. Avoid cap sleeves
Look for flattering necklines. Scoop, cowl neck, or v-neck are great options. Avoid high neck tops as they may make your neck look cut off in pictures.
Select jewelry that speaks to your style. Subtle? or bold? You choose.
Come with clean, manicured nails. Hands come into the frame a lot with portraits. Neutral colors, simple buff, or French manicure are recommended.
Bring appropriate undergarments. For example, strapless bras so your straps don't show, seamless panties and shapewear in appropriate colors.
