What To Wear To Your Senior Photos

High School Senior Photo Outfit Guide

Senior photos are such an exciting experience that create lasting memories, but oftentimes, my clients are focused on stressing over what to wear. This guide will go over every outfit you need to achieve the senior photos of your dreams!

Every shoot should have at least one casual, everyday outfit which showcases who you are on a daily basis. To add on to this, a dress and a “going out” outfit will cover every look you need! Additionally, an extra outfit with your college colors or shirt will be the perfect finishing touch. With this in mind, I suggest trying to stay away from busy patterns or mixing bright colors to keep the focus on your beautiful face!

Casual Outfits Ideas:

For your everyday look, start in your closet and find your favorite pieces! I recommend a cute top or sweater with jeans or a skirt, and sneakers or booties. You can also take this look to the next level with a pair of heels!

Dressy Outfit Ideas:

This is the perfect time to pull out that cute spring dress! White is a great classic color to choose, but another solid pop of color is a great choice as well. Complete this look with a nice pair of heels.

Extra Fun Ideas:

This is your moment to make a statement! Take your casual outfit up a notch by adding in a statement piece like leather pants or a sparkly top! (P.S. this is the perfect opportunity to showcase your creative side, so make sure it still fits who you are!) Another fun idea could be a tulle dress or skirt, or jun jeans with combat boots/converse, or cowboy boots to show your Texas roots!

College Decision Outfit Ideas:

Choosing where you are going to college is such an exciting time, so incorporating a themed look into your photos is a great idea! You can either pair a cute college t-shirt with colored jeans or a skirt, or you can wear an outfit in your school’s colors. Don’t forget to bring a cute sign or banner with your college’s name on it!
