Clothing and Style Guide

Colors

Choose one or two complementary colors and use them throughout your outfits. Consider matching and each wearing the same color top.

Ex. For Casual: Black top/khaki bottoms, white top/black bottoms, beige top/ black bottoms and/or replace bottoms with jeans.

You can use neutral tones like white, cream, light blue, tan, olive, and gray.

Avoid neon colors, they can cause color casts on your faces and distract from the portrait.

Patterns

Limit patterns. Small soft patters are okay so long as they match with other solid colors. Ex. Mom in light blue and daughter in white dress with similar blue flower print.

Styles

Choose outfits that flatter your body type and make you feel confident. Avoid characters and graphic T's. You can also consider varying textures and fabrics, such as textured knits or chunky sweaters next to cottons and denim.

Accessories

Don't wear any heavy jewelry or clothing near your face. Keep your earrings simple, like studs or dainty hoops.

Fit

Find clothes that are neither overly baggy nor too tight, and think about balance between your upper and lower half.
