The Question of What to wear

Level Up | The outfits you select for your session should always reflect your personal style. Consider what you would wear, then level it up one notch.
Color Palette | Avoid fluorescent colors (they reflect onto skin tone) as well as busy patterns or graphics.
Textures | Choose texture over busy patterns every time. Fabrics like linen, denim, leather, corduroy, and silk offer dimension.
Layer | I know, it’s Florida, but still—bring the sweater or the blazer.
Movement | Ensure the items you choose allow for flexible movement during the shoot.
Accessories | These are great, but limit them. They should blend with the look, not steal the show.

Rentals | A big trend that I love is renting from companies like Nuuly and Rent The Runway, allowing you to shop for higher-end brands without the commitment.
Inspo | Boards on Pinterest and Instagram are helpful when searching for pieces that feel like you. Start here, with the ones below, then customize your picks.

Translating your wardrobe into scene…

As a wardrobe designer would carefully choose a main character’s outfit based on the movie set, I recommend selecting your outfits based on your portrait setting.

Consider the color palette of your setting, along with its level of formality. Sometimes a juxtaposition is fun. Like dressy on the beach. But still keep that color palette in mind, otherwise the portrait feels out of place.
