Tips for the Guys

  1. Choose at least one dressy outfit (the parent/grandparents' favorite).
  2. For the boys, this might be a full suit with a button-up shirt
  3. A blazer with slacks, khakis, or jeans, and a button-up or a nice, solid t-shirt beneath it.
  4. Choose at least one dressier casual. This might be an outfit you’d wear for a holiday get-together or for church.
  5. This could be a button-up shirt with the sleeves rolled up or a polo with khakis or jeans.
  6. Nice shorts and a polo work well in warmer months.
  7. In the colder months, a colored Henley or quarter zip sweater looks nice too.
  8. Choose one outfit that says, “This is who I am.” The possibilities are endless here because you are unique.
  9. This might be something trendy, something casual, or something uniquely you. Express your style.
  10. Your options could be suits, shorts, jeans, joggers, etc. Examples include activewear, graphic tees, flannel, hoodies, leather jackets, western wear, and the above mentioned ideas.
  11. ​A team Jersey or other sports/spirit group attire can be used as an option or add-on.
  12. You may want to wear something representing your university.
  13. Cap and Gown. We have a selection to use from many area schools, so you can wear one of ours or bring your own. Don't forget something to wear beneath the cap and gown. Preferably, a light-colored button-up shirt and slacks or khakis, with or without a tie. Some seniors have worn T-shirts and shorts, or spirit/sports uniforms beneath the gown.
  14. Remember to try on your outfits well in advance of your session so that you can make adjustments.
  15. Remember to choose some outfits that allow movement. Something you can sit or squat in comfortably allows a variety of posing options.
  16. Don't forget accessories.
  • You may be thinking, "What accessories?"
  • Guys love their shoes. You may opt for a variety from sneakers to dress shoes to complement your outfits.
  • A pair of sunglasses can provide a nice option.
  • A favorite chain or a watch.
  • Your class ring, if you've purchased one.
  • Wear a hat if that’s your thing—a cowboy hat or a favorite ball cap for some shots.
  • You can wear a leather jacket or your letterman jacket over an outfit, for a few shots.
