What to Wear for Senior Pictures: Outfit Ideas That Pop on Camera

Written By Madison Chagnon

Let’s talk outfits! One of the biggest questions I get from seniors is “What should I wear??” Here’s my answer: wear what makes you feel confident, comfortable, and like your best self.

Here are a few outfit ideas that always photograph beautifully:

  • A flowy dress in a bold color (red, cobalt blue, or soft pink = stunning on camera)

  • A fun jacket or layering piece—like a letterman jacket or denim coat

  • Trendy sneakers or booties to tie it all together

  • Accessories that show your personality (cowgirl boots? Go for it!)

Bonus tip: Avoid tiny patterns or neon colors. And always bring a backup outfit—you never know what you’ll end up loving most!
