What Should I Wear for School Picture Day?
The first rule of fashion is to always wear what you feel comfortable in. The more confident and happier you feel the more your smile will resonant in the photos. It’s a good idea to wear an outfit that is somewhat versatile so that you can be photographed in a variety of different poses. Clothing that might be difficult to sit or kneel in, for instance, could limit the abilities of the photographer to choose a really complimentary or attractive pose for your school pictures.
More than any outfit, concentrate on looking your best by getting enough sleep, and generally choosing a day for your photos when you are not feeling sick, and have a ton of energy. Don’t worry about pimples or imperfections on your skin. Your photographer can touch up any blemishes.
Try to choose an outfit that works well with the setting and background that you have chosen. If you are going to pose with a prop or something special that reminds you of your time at school, you will want to keep that in mind when you are choosing something to wear. Steer clear of patterns if you can, and try to choose either bright or dark colors that will contrast with your skin tone.

Is there anything that you would like to include in your photos that really highlight your interests or accomplishments, such as a letter jacket or an instrument? Planning out your photos ahead of time will help to ease some of the stress of picture day.
You can choose some places that you would like to be photographed in as well. Would you like to be photographed on or near the school so you can relive those memories through your portrait? Or perhaps you would rather choose somewhere local that is special to you, a specific place that makes you smile or a lovely spot that you enjoy spending time in.
