Capturing the essence of your senior year is all about style and self-expression. When it comes to your senior portrait session, you want to look and feel your absolute best. Here's a guide to help you nail the modern and fashionable look for your upcoming photoshoot.

1. Showcase Your Personality: Your senior photos are a reflection of you, so let your personality shine through your wardrobe. Whether you're into classic sophistication, urban edge, or a laid-back vibe, choose outfits that resonate with who you are. With that said, you still want to create timeless images and the right wardrobe choices will definitely have an impact. 

2. Mix and Match Textures: To add visual interest to your photos, consider incorporating a mix of textures into your outfit. Pairing denim with a knit sweater or layering a leather jacket over a crisp shirt can add depth and dimension to your look, creating striking images. You do want to avoid busy patterns and if you do have something with a pattern, just anchor it with a solid! (ie: patterned shirt with solid jacket)

3. Stay Timeless with Classics: While it's great to embrace current trends, incorporating timeless pieces into your outfit ensures that your photos won't feel dated in the years to come. A well-fitted blazer, a classic pair of jeans, or a stylish watch can elevate your look without sacrificing timelessness. Many guys get nervous they have to wear a suit. You can still get a super upscale look with a blazer and some dark was jeans. Stylish, timeless without being "dressed up..."

4. Don't Shy Away from Color: Bold colors can make a statement and add vibrancy to your photos. Choose a light outfit, a dark outfit and something with a pop of color. This creates a well rounded variety for your session. 

5. Pay Attention to Fit: Regardless of your style, well-fitted clothing is key. Clothes that fit properly not only look better but also make you feel more confident. Avoid overly baggy or tight outfits and opt for a tailored look that flatters your body shape. Ill fitting clothes add weight and photograph sloppy. <<< Read that again. 

6. Consider the Location: Think about the location of your photoshoot when planning your outfits. If you're opting for an urban setting, edgier and more urban-inspired clothing might be fitting. For a natural backdrop, earthy tones and casual wear can complement the surroundings.

7. Accessorize Thoughtfully: Accessories can elevate your look and add a personal touch. Consider adding a stylish hat, a statement watch or a fun crazy patterned pair of socks. 

Remember, the key to a successful senior portrait session is feeling comfortable and confident in what you're wearing. Take the time to plan your outfits, considering the elements mentioned above, and you'll be well on your way to creating fashion-forward images that truly capture this exciting time in your life.
