The selection of proper clothing for your portrait is a critical factor in the preparation for a successful portrait. If the clothing is noticeable or overbearing in a portrait, it could easily become a distraction. Clothing that does not attract attention to itself is the ultimate goal. It could be the difference between a very successful portrait and just another picture. White can look beautifully simple and fresh. White shirts and/or blouses with khaki pants/shorts or denim bottoms can be perfect combo. If you would like to go with color please give the preference to the pastel colors, something that is not to bright or saturated. Colors that complement the surroundings, like aqua, turquoise, navy, seafood green, and sea glass always photograph well and work with nearly all skin tones.
