What to wear based on where you shoot- A guide to your Senior Photoshoot Wardrobe

Your No-Stress Senior Photo Style Guide 💁‍♀️📸

Picking the perfect outfit for your senior pics? First things first—where you shoot totally changes the vibe. Let’s break it down so you can match your outfit to the location and feel confident + look amazing 🔥

1. Grassy Field

• Vibe: Natural, earthy, relaxed

• What to Wear:

  • Light, flowy dresses or skirts (think boho-chic)

  • Soft pastels, neutrals, or warm earth tones (sage green, beige, soft yellows)

  • Casual denim — jeans or shorts with a comfy tee or blouse

  • Layer with a cozy cardigan or light jacket for texture

  • Footwear: Boots, sandals, or barefoot (if safe!)

  • Accessories: Straw hats, simple jewelry, flower crowns (optional)

• Why: Fabrics that flow and colors that blend with nature look fresh and timeless in a field.

2. Flower Garden

• Vibe: Feminine, vibrant, romantic

• What to Wear:

  • Floral prints or solid colors that complement the flowers (soft pinks, lavenders, sky blues)

  • Dresses with delicate details: lace, ruffles, or light chiffon

  • Smart casual options like a blouse paired with a pastel skirt or cropped pants

  • Footwear: Ballet flats, cute sandals, or wedges (avoid heels that sink into soft soil)

  • Accessories: Simple necklaces, bracelets, or flower hair clips

• Why: Bright, cheerful outfits enhance the natural beauty of flowers and keep the look cohesive.

3. Downtown Urban Setting

• Vibe: Edgy, modern, stylish

• What to Wear:

  • Trendy layers like leather or denim jackets, oversized sweaters, or statement coats

  • Bold prints, monochrome looks, or vibrant pops of color (reds, blacks, metallics)

  • Skinny jeans, joggers, or chic trousers

  • Footwear: Sneakers, ankle boots, or stylish flats

  • Accessories: Sunglasses, hats (beanies, fedoras), chunky jewelry

• Why: Urban locations pair well with fashion-forward, confident styles that stand out against city backdrops.

4. Greenhouse

• Vibe: Fresh, bright, natural elegance

• What to Wear:

  • Lightweight fabrics that breathe well (linen, cotton)

  • This spot is perfect for the drama - dare to go big in your outfit choice

  • Simple solid colors like black, white, pink, red

  • Polished pieces: fitted tops, midi skirts, formal dresses or suits

  • Footwear: Clean sneakers, sandals, boots or heels

  • Accessories: Dramatic jewelry, perhaps a delicate bow

• Why: The warm, humid greenhouse environment calls for breathable, fresh fabrics with a touch of sophistication.

Bonus Tips:

• Avoid clothes with large logos or distracting patterns that clash with natural or urban backgrounds.

• Bring layers for weather changes and outfit variations.

• Consider the comfort of footwear based on terrain (grass, pavement, soil).

• Coordinate but don’t match exactly if doing group/sibling photos.
