What to wear for your modern school photos

Simple is best

The best thing to wear is a simple light to medium toned (not too dark), one or two-coloured shirt/dress with no writing or logos. Although I know that it can be tough when all your kid wants to wear is that one Paw Patrol shirt for 5 days in a row, as soon as there is text or pictures on the shirt, your eye will just naturally go to that, in stead of lingering on your child’s beautiful face as it should be.

Textures like knits, or shirts with details like buttons or collars, are also great to add some interest.

Patterns

Patterns are great too if that’s your preference – think plaid, stripes, floral.

Avoid very dark and black clothing

Please do not wear solid black, as this will blend into the  background too much and create a spooky “floating head” effect! We were able to save this young lady with a scarf, but it will show you what happens if you wear a black shirt…

Siblings

For siblings, stay away from exact matches, but feel free to coordinate colours and patterns that go well together. Don’t let both kids wear patterns – if one wears a pattern, choose a colour from that pattern and let the other one wear a solid in that colour.
