What to Wear for Your Graduation Photos

Your outfit sets the tone for your entire session. Here are outfit tips to make sure you look timeless and confident:

Solid Colors Always Win

Neutral tones like white, black, beige, navy, or earth tones photograph beautifully. They keep the focus on you instead of your clothes.

Bring Two Outfit Options

Most seniors choose one casual look and one more formal look. This gives you variety in your gallery and works well for both indoor and outdoor settings.

Comfort Is Key

Make sure your shoes and outfits allow you to walk, sit, and pose easily. If you’re shooting on campus grounds, you may be walking a lot—bring a backup pair of comfy shoes for between spots.

Consider the Season

Illinois weather can be unpredictable.

Accessorize Lightly

Jewelry should complement your outfit without being distracting. Simple is always better for timeless portraits.
