Spring is a great time to get senior pictures taken. I love what the photos represent! A celebration of how far you have come and the hard work that went into that. A memento of your style and interests as they are now. And a starting off place into the next chapter.
I wrote a blog post around this time last year (see it HERE) and I mention how your senior pictures are the perfect time to let your personality and style shine! For the last post I created three style boards representing inspiration for three different styles. This time, I curated two style boards for inspiration, one for women and one for men. This is just a starting off point, because it really should be personalized just for you. It is your opportunity to wear what YOU love and feel best in!
I will start with the gentlemen. Shop this style board by clicking HERE or directly on the image below.
in this instance, I chose one look a bit more on the formal side. If you have read my blog posts in the past you know I love a navy suit. This is a great time to invest in one for your senior if you haven’t already. A nice navy suit can be used for these photos, family celebrations and job interviews. For the photos, add your personal style by your shirt and shoe choice.
Keep in mind, if you use layers, you can easily remove the jacket to change it up quickly. You will see I chose layers for the other looks as well for this same reason. For one, I selected chinos paired with a Henley tee. Add a light blue collared button down shirt and neutral suede shoe to complete the look.
The third outfit from this style board is your favorite pair of jeans with a white tee, slip-on shoe and outer layer. Again, this can be personalized to you. I chose an olive green bomber jacket, but it can be a flannel shirt, sport jersey etc.
Next we have an updated style board for the ladies. See it in more detail HERE or by clicking on the image below.
Overall, it’s best to chose pieces that aren’t distracting and won’t take away from beautiful or handsome faces. Avoid logos, loud prints and overwhelming silhouettes.
For the style board above, I chose a floral skirt and sweater combo. Complete the look with shoe wear and accessories that highlight your personal style. A dress is always a great choice – pick a color that makes you feel beautiful! Finally, for the third look, put on your favorite pair of jeans and pair it with a top and accessories you love.
I hope this gives you framework to use while selecting senior picture looks! If you would like more help, I offer personalized wardrobe capsules, which would be perfect depending on how many looks you would like to do in your photos.
