The Clothes
Don’t know what to wear for pictures? Check out these tips for endless outfit and color inspiration…
31. Coordinate the style and color of your clothing with your location in mind.
32. When choosing a color palette, consider what will go well with the colors of your home. After all, most people plan to hang them up!
33. Try to avoid clothing that is super seasonal. Unless you’re planning on using them only for Christmas cards, red and green scarfs may not be the best choice. Pick a style, color, and location that you don’t mind displaying in your home year-round.
34. Don’t be afraid of color and pattern. While you may not want everyone to wear a bold color or a busy pattern- a pop or two of color and design adds interest to the picture. Check out some great examples at Click it Up a Notch and Kristen Duke photography.
35. Layer! Adding layers to your outfit not only adds texture to the picture, but also allows you to shed layers later on for different looks in different pictures.
36. For a photo that stands the test of time- opt for clothes that are classic rather than super trendy.
37. While a little bit of pattern can be a good thing, it’s best to avoid clothing with large graphics and logos.
38. Gone are the days of identical blue jeans and white shirts! Instead of matching colors- coordinate them. Stick to a color palette, but don’t feel like you have to match color values exactly.
39. For color palette inspiration, try these online tools: Design Seeds, Big Huge Labs, CSS Drive, and DeGrave.
40. For more outfit inspiration, do a simple Image Search on Google for “What to Wear Photography” and you will get more outfits and color combinations than you know what to do with!
