Here are some of my tips for your photoshoot. Please take them with a grain of salt in terms of sticking to your own style. Please wear what you want and use these tips as a light guide. :)
For your photoshoot, I want you to feel your best and be comfortable above all! If you already have your own style established, wonderful. This styling information is in relation to color theory, and emphasizing the focus of you and the surroundings in your photo location.
Patterns
🚫Avoid: busy patterns like polka dots or zig zags
🚫Avoid: putting patterns next to each other
for example, plaid pants with colorful striped shoes
➡️Instead, create space between patterns. For example: a plaid shirt, black pants and shoes with stripes
👍🏼Do wear: patterns like plaid, florals or subtle stripes
👍🏼Do pair patterns with a solid color.
👍🏼Do consider fabric with ruffles, pleats or buttons for some fun elements
Mindful Coordination
🚫Avoid: overwhelming your outfit with conflicting patterns that might distract from the primary focus – you!
👍🏼Do: pick one main pattern and complement it with solid colors
-patterned skirt with a white top
-striped shirt with solid-colored pants
-floral dress with a neutral cardigan
Complement Your Surroundings
❗️Consider: location and backdrop of the photoshoot
🏔Nature/Mountains/Forest: 👍🏼Do wear: earthy tones- Sage, Cream, Beige, Lavender
🏙City/Urban: 👍🏼Do wear: bold patterns, more color pops
Accessorizing
🏔Nature: add a color pop with a rain jacket or backpack as an accessory
🏙Urban: try adding hair clips, a watch, scarf, hat, jewelry, nail polish, or colorful shoes!
