What to Wear Senior Session Fall Edition

A lot of our seniors want to wear at least one casual look during their senior session and now that it’s fall, we’re seeing lots of beautiful chunky sweaters and slouchy cardigans making their way into session wardrobes!

Want to incorporate the cozy casual fall trend into your senior session? Here are 3 tips to remember when opting for this look during your portrait session:

ONE

When you wear chunky or oversized knits on top, keep your bottom frame in slim cuts like leggings, skinny jeans, or even close to the body relaxed jeans. Stay away from wide-legged and billowy pants when wearing this look because all of that material will swallow you up and add a ton of mass to your body.

TWO

Look for a cardigan that skims the natural lines of your body; not one that balloons out at the waist. I know super chunky cardigans are in right now, but they don’t do anything for flattering the body and just add a ton of weight to your frame.

THREE

Don’t stop at the sweater. Complete your look by polishing it off with boots and a wide-brimmed hat to make it Pinterest-worthy and purposeful. Just throwing on a sweater may be perfect for everyday life, but these are senior portraits & completing your outfit is a must.
