I love the untucked version but prefer tucked for the occasion.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-fora-photoshoot#post-927074 Tue, 07 May 2013 21:27:51 +0000 Irene 927074@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ As you have been told already, no pattern, especially if there is a background AND you are the focus of the photoshoot (not your clothes, which would serve a completely different purpose).<br /><br />Keep it simple, flattering to both bodyshape and skintone and comfortable. YOU are the protagonist, after all. <br /><br />White, even if not the easiest color to photograph, looks good on most people and lightens up the face. <br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-fora-photoshoot#post-927068 Tue, 07 May 2013 21:17:23 +0000 Mona 927068@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Congratualtions, Sarah! I am so excited for you. I really like both tops in #2 and 3 and tucked with belt in #3. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-fora-photoshoot#post-927064 Tue, 07 May 2013 21:10:14 +0000 Parsley 927064@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Congratulations, Sarah!<br />That's wonderful!<br />I concur with the choice of #2.<br />I'll vote tucked with a light-colored belt. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-fora-photoshoot#post-927063 Tue, 07 May 2013 21:10:02 +0000 Makrame 927063@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Oh how great, congratulations!<br /><br />Before reading other replies,&nbsp;I was going to suggest #2 because once when we had a photoshoot in the lab, I was told to wear bright, solid colors (I think pattern is supposed to be bad for photoshoots?). &nbsp;<br /><br />Maybe also try it tucked with the belt from #3? &nbsp;Although it looks great as is. &nbsp;Other solid color shirts would probably be good, too. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-fora-photoshoot#post-927058 Tue, 07 May 2013 21:06:00 +0000 sarah 927058@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thanks, everyone. This is helpful. I added a question about tucking above. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-fora-photoshoot#post-927052 Tue, 07 May 2013 21:00:01 +0000 Carla 927052@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congratulations! A light coloured solid button down in any of the blues you wear so well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-fora-photoshoot#post-927043 Tue, 07 May 2013 20:48:50 +0000 Janet 927043@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ If you were one of my clients, I'd choose #2!&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-fora-photoshoot#post-927042 Tue, 07 May 2013 20:46:38 +0000 kellygirl 927042@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Ooh, congratulations, sarah! I love the button down in 2. The color is so pretty on you and the style&nbsp;conveys that academic vibe while the jeans and boots are outdoorsy. I'd definitely wear the jacket too.&nbsp;<br /><br />ETA: I think the plain JCrew shirts would work too. The butterfly is awesome but strikes me as a little whimsical. Not sure if you want to convey that in print.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-fora-photoshoot#post-927036 Tue, 07 May 2013 20:40:59 +0000 Ingunn 927036@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Congratulations, how exciting! I prefer #2 for tops. A busy background requires a solid top, I think. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-fora-photoshoot#post-927032 Tue, 07 May 2013 20:38:11 +0000 sarah 927032@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thanks, Nancy. I think a button down would be "academic" but not too formal. I know that blues/teals/greens look good on me, hence 1-3. Nothing's leafed out here yet, so the background will be mostly brown/grey : ) https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-fora-photoshoot#post-927030 Tue, 07 May 2013 20:30:06 +0000 nancylee 927030@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ That is so cool! &nbsp;Congratulations, Sarah. &nbsp;<br /><br />I'm not an expert on photoshoots, but I would definitely wear something that feels&nbsp;comfortable and natural. &nbsp;I think you're on the right track with the Carsons and denim. &nbsp;As for the top, a button shirt always looks good...but does it work with the "outdoorsy" nature of the shoot? &nbsp;Hmm.<br /><br />I guess I would also consider which colors look good against the colors of the&nbsp;forest (greens and browns), as well as which colors looks best on you. &nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-to-wear-fora-photoshoot#post-927026 Tue, 07 May 2013 20:24:52 +0000 sarah 927026@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I recently received an academic&nbsp;honor and the University is preparing an article that will&nbsp;include a photo of me. I'm getting my picture taken tomorrow. They want it to look outdoorsy (I'm a biologist) so we're going to do it in some woods on campus where it will be muddy, etc. Casual is most appropriate; white jeans are not.&nbsp;I'm thinking of building my outfit around&nbsp;my Frye carsons and straight-leg jeans (bottom half of #1)&nbsp;and am wondering what else to wear - button down and jacket (top half of 2 or 3)&nbsp;? Sweater and jacket (top half of 1 or 4)? Any other ideas? It will be pretty warm (70F).<br /><br />ETA: #5 top half is another option. I also have JCrew button downs in cornflower blue, blue/white stripe, white...<br /><br />ETA2: There's growing consensus for #2 top/jacket combo. TUCKED? or UNTUCKED? If TUCKED, what belt?<br /><br />Thanks.
