Senior Portrait Attire Tips

Imagine this: You’re officially a senior and are ready to take your senior pictures in the iconic friendship forest. There’s probably a lot of pressure to avoid wearing something that will make you look back at your senior yearbook, wishing you never wore what you did.  

So, as someone who’s been through senior portraits, I am here to share some outfit, makeup, and hair suggestions:

A few reminders:

The leaves will be a mixture of green, red, orange, brown, and yellow, so you might want to wear something that doesn’t clash too much with the scenery. Here is some color inspiration:

The outfits shown may not be everyone’s style; interpret the suggestions however you want.  

 

Dressed for the Occasion

First, start off with dark/light blue, dark green, or dark purple pants which you can build off of. Any great fall outfit starts off with a solid base color for bottoms. Here are a few options to consider. 

Stradivarius

Straight comfort fit jeans  

Full length blue jeans

 

Zara

Low rise straight jean

Wide leg jean

 

Nordstrom

Corduroy jeans 

Prima corduroy jeans 

Leather faux pants 

 

Remember, for a perfect fall top: layer, layer, layer. A button down, a multicolor sweater, a blazer. This is where you can get really creative and show your personality.

Knit blazer 

Faux leather blazer
