Choosing the right outfit for your photo session can make a big difference in how confident and comfortable you feel in front of the camera. At Kate Buckles Photography, we want to help you look and feel your best, so here are a few flattering style tips to keep in mind when planning your outfit!
1. Dress for Your Body Shape
Wearing outfits that flatter your body shape will make you feel more confident. If you love your waist, try a fitted dress or a belted outfit to highlight it. If you want to draw attention to your neckline, try a v-neck or scoop-neck top. The key is to wear something that makes you feel great in your own skin.
2. Go for Solid Colors
Solid colors tend to photograph better than busy patterns, as they keep the focus on you. Neutrals, soft pastels, or deep, rich tones are always flattering and timeless choices. If you do want to wear a pattern, make sure it’s subtle, so it doesn’t distract from your face.
3. Layer It Up
Adding layers like a jacket, cardigan, or scarf can add dimension to your look. Layers can also help you adjust your outfit throughout the session to create variety in your photos, while giving you something to do with your hands (perfect for those who feel a little awkward in front of the camera!).
4. Avoid Logos and Graphics
While we love a cool graphic tee in everyday life, clothing with logos or large graphics can be distracting in photos. Stick to classic, simple pieces that won’t take attention away from you and the moment you’re capturing.
5. Don’t Forget About Shoes
Shoes can complete the look, so be sure to pick something that matches your outfit and the location. If you’re doing an outdoor session and need to walk to your spot, bring a pair of comfortable shoes for the walk and then switch to your photo-ready pair once you're there.
6. Accessorize Wisely
Accessories can add personality to your outfit, but don’t overdo it. Simple jewelry, a stylish hat, or a fun scarf can make your look pop without overwhelming it. Remember, the goal is for your outfit to enhance the photo, not take it over.
7. Comfort is Key
Most importantly, wear something you’re comfortable in! If you’re constantly adjusting your outfit, it’ll show in the photos. Choose pieces that let you move easily and feel like yourself, so you can relax and enjoy the experience.
With these style tips, you’ll be ready to feel confident and comfortable in front of the camera. At Kate Buckles Photography, we’re here to guide you every step of the way to make sure you look and feel your best during your session!
