WHAT TO WEAR GUIDE

WITH SL Photo Studios

Getting new clothes can also be downright exhausting. I want to provide you with the many do’s and don’ts of buying new clothing for your session to provide a comfortable and empowering experience.

WHAT TO WEAR BIBLE

ONE

Try on your outfits!! And yep I mean every single piece you have brought or have found in your wardrobe at home.

TWO

If shopping for new clothes don’t get caught up in tag sizes! Sizes can vary depending on the brand and style of the piece so what you may be in one brand could be different in another, plus we are human, we all come in different shapes and sizes.

THREE

Next think Marie Kondo, does this outfit spark joy and confidence? If there is even the tiniest bit of “um, maybe? unsure?" then no girl this ain’t your piece!

FOUR

The right fit, Unsure of your measurements, or what suits you? Don’t be afraid to ask the gal behind the counter at H&M or Express, they have a wealth of knowledge of helping with their sizing, colors to suit their skin tone and more! Also don’t be afraid to try a color on because it might be “bright”, if you try it on and don’t like it cool.

FIVE

Pack some fun things that you might not normally wear. Maybe it's cowgirl boots, a fun hat, a sparkle top, or bell bottom jeans. This is the time to step out of your comfort zone and wear something you may love and want to wear but you wouldn't do it every day. My branding photos I love that pink blazer and pearl crop top! But you will see me in joggers and a t-shirt 99.9% of the time. But I still love to dress up for photos!

WHAT COLORS SUIT MY SKIN TONE?

Ok I am going to keep this one as simple as possible, and please know there is always the exception to the rule!! The most important thing I can say is to select colors that you feel confident in, and that also complement your skin and the aesthetic of the studio. If you know a color washes you out, then steer clear, do not buy it! As a general rule of thumb pale skin tones often look good in darker colors, whilst darker skin tones look good in lighter colors, but of course, this can sometimes be quite the opposite! My personal favorites and what I think everyone looks great in are jewel tones, teals, blues, emeralds, and fushia purples.

WHERE TO SHOP

Altar'd State


Giving really cute boho vibes and I'm loving pretty much everything they have. A little more expensive for their pieces but stuff that will be able to be an awesome addition to your closet!

Express


Express has super cute fun pieces as well as a business vibe so you can dress pieces up or down. They also have some awesome dresses for a going out look,

Shein


I get a lot of stuff from Shein, the quality is pretty good for the very inexpensive price. And you know that it's going to arrive and not be crazy small and too far from what they picture on the website.
