What to wear for portraits? Whether it be pictures for online dating, social media or business portraits, what to wear for portraits will make an impact on the overall look and feel of your images. The right outfit can not only boost your confidence and comfort, but also make a powerful first impression. Here are a few tips when selecting what to wear for your portrait session:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Colour & Fit <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When you are deciding what to wear for your portraits session you may not realize the impact that colour<\/strong> can have on your appearance in photos. Bright colours can convey warmth and approachability, while darker colours like black can create a slimming effect. Repeating the same colours, such as black and grey, in all of your photos may give off a melancholy or lethargic impression. To achieve a flattering look in your photos, consider incorporating jewel tones, maybe a fun pattern, as well as classic black tops or dresses. Here is an inspiration board<\/a> full of ideas for colours and patterns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fit of your clothes can have a big impact<\/strong> on the overall look of your photos. For men, issues with fit are often related to jeans, shirts, and tops. Excessively baggy jeans can create an unkempt appearance, while jeans that are too tight can be uncomfortable. Tucked in shirts that are too wide can create an unflattering silhouette, while shirts that are too long can appear sloppy. To achieve the best fit in your photos, be sure to choose clothes that fit well and flatter your body<\/strong> type. Avoid clothing that is too tight or too loose, and opt for pieces that are comfortable when you are deciding what to wear for portraits. <\/p>\n\n\n
