If you haven’t read my helpful guidelines on what to wear to your photoshoot, make sure to check it out.  Also you can find the “What to Wear – Casual” installment here.

Again, the purpose of these What to Wear posts is not to have you go out and buy these exact outfits.  They’re to illustrate what type of clothing looks good on camera and why.  Whether your portraits are taking place in the studio, downtown Minneapolis, or anywhere else in the Twin Cities, these tips and ideas will serve you well.

When choosing clothing for your senior portrait, it’s always a good idea to mix it up a bit.  If you’re already bringing something casual, make your next outfit is a little dressier.  One of the easiest ways to do this as a guy is to incorporate a nice blazer, jacket, or sweater.  Whether you have a t-shirt or nice dress shirt on underneath, those clothing items automatically heighten the level of classiness.

While you technically have one outfit, it would be easy to turn this into 2 looks by taking off the blazer and switching into a more casual pair of shoes.  As always, accessories are a must have.  Sunglasses, in my opinion, are one of the best accessories to bring to a photoshoot.   Especially since they work for pretty much any age except newborns.
