What 2 Wear

The key to a timeless portrait is K.I.S.S. “Keep it Simple Silly”. Dress in something comfortable and casual and choosing to stick with the basics Vs. trends will create timeless portraits. Solid colors in muted tones look best, especially in black and white images. Textures such as denim knit, and khaki also work well. Avoid choosing busy patterns and print, as they will distract from your portrait. Solid clothes help to keep the focus on the face and not the clothing. My favorites: denim, khaki, overalls, sundresses, bare feet, and naked babies! Bare feet give a natural and casual feel and often look best. You are welcome to bring a change of clothing and if time allows you can feel free to change. A few other suggestions are rich deep velvet reds and if it is bright colors you desire go with a pattern of bright multi colors for best results.
