Senior Guys - What to Wear
Timeless Option
I suggest including at least one outfit that’s timeless and polished. Lately, more senior guys have been choosing formal attire, like a dress shirt with a tie or even a suit. These choices look sharp in photos and never go out of style. To keep your formal outfit looking its best, make sure it’s freshly ironed and transported on hangers to avoid wrinkles during the drive to your photo session.
One great thing about wearing a tie is that it can easily transition your look. You can remove it for a more relaxed vibe, especially if you pair the shirt with jeans for a casual yet put-together appearance.
Casual Option
For a laid-back and stylish look, try pairing a well-fitting pair of jeans with a classic T-shirt or a polo in a color that highlights your skin tone or eye color. Before your session, check your outfit in natural light to make sure it looks clean and new, free from any stains or tears. The camera tends to pick up on even the smallest details!
If you have a sport or hobby that’s important to you, think about including it in your senior portraits. There’s no need to stress about how to pose with those items—I will provide guidance to ensure they’re incorporated in a way that feels natural while keeping the focus on you.
If you have your cap and gown already, bring them along. A simple shot of holding the cap or tossing the gown over your shoulder can add a fun and celebratory vibe to your photos.
Another great idea is to bring a shirt from your future college if you’ve made your decision. It’s a meaningful way to showcase your next step and makes for a memorable photo to include with your graduation announcements.
