Tips for the Guys
Tips for the Guys
- Choose at least one dressy outfit (the parent/grandparents' favorite).
- For the boys, this might be a full suit with a button-up shirt, a blazer with slacks or jeans and a button-up shirt or a nice, solid t-shirt beneath it, or a button-up and slacks or khakis.
- Choose at least one dressier casual. This might be an outfit you’d wear for a holiday get-together or for church.
- This could be a button-up shirt with the sleeves rolled up or a polo with khakis or jeans; Nice shorts and a polo work well, and in the winter, a colored Henley looks nice too.
- Choose one that says, “This is who I am.” The possibilities are endless.
- This might be something trendy, something casual, or something uniquely you. Express your style.
- Your options could be suits, shorts, jeans, joggers, etc. I’ve seen prom dresses, a variety of bow ties with dress shirts, activewear, graphic tees, flannel, hoodies, leather jackets, and western wear.
- Jerseys and other sports/spirit group attire can be used.
- You may want to wear something representing your university.
- Cap and Gown. We have a selection available for most schools in our area to use or bring a sibling's or your own. Don't forget to bring something to wear beneath the cap and gown. Preferably, a light-colored button-up shirt and slacks or khakis with or without a tie, but I've had seniors wear T-shirts and shorts, or spirit/sports uniforms can be worn beneath them.
- Remember to try on your outfits well in advance of your session so that you can make adjustments.
- Remember to choose some outfits which allow movement. Something you can sit or squat in comfortably provides more posing options.
- Don't forget accessories.
- You may be thinking, "What accessories?"
- Guys love their shoes," from fresh kicks (haha… I know that doesn’t make me cool, but I tried) to cowboy boots. Don't forget a pair you can crease for variety in your posing.
- 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 toss on a leather jacket or your letterman jacket.
