Senior Picture Outfit Ideas-How to Choose What to Wear and Examples of Some of Our 2022 Seniors Who We Feel Chose Their Outfit Perfectly.
We know that choosing what to wear for senior pictures can feel overwhelming. It’s important to choose clothing that makes you feel like yourself, something you’re comfortable in, that you feel amazing in, and that highlights your personality. You want something you can move comfortably in that fits well and is flattering. These are pictures you’ll have forever that capture an important time in your life.
Here are five ladies’ 2022 senior picture outfits that we feel nailed these concepts in different ways.
What we love about this look is that you can tell immediately that she feels amazing in this dress. You can see her confidence shine through. The dress has a subtle pattern to lend interest but isn’t distracting or overwhelming to her figure. It’s a soft color that is flattering to her skin tone and brings out the color of her eyes. The dress is flowy, with movement, which photographs so well.

For this next look, we love how this senior girl used layers and textures with her outfit. She kept the color palette neutral with tan, black, and cream but layered a simple shirt with a lace duster which dresses up her look and adds some dimension. She also added an accessory, keeping it simple with a hat that adds interest and variety, as she wore it for some of her set and left it off for the rest.

Who doesn’t want another chance to wear that gorgeous dress? She obviously felt beautiful in the dress, which you can see in these images as well. The dress is flattering, fun, and a soft color that compliments her skin tone. Wearing her dress in an outdoor setting adds interest as it’s unexpected and adding her violin as an accessory to showcase something she is passionate about makes this look perfect to us.

What we love about this look is that it’s simple, focusing on the senior herself and not necessarily on her outfit. She chose a snuggly sweater that added texture but in a solid, neutral color that complimented her skin tone. Wearing jeans added a laid-back vibe and was something she was comfortable in.

If playing a sport is important to you, why not make your uniform one of your senior picture outfits? We love that this high school senior chose to wear her volleyball uniform for this set of her session, using the ball as an accessory/prop. You can see that she looks confident and that she’s having fun as well. It was also important to her to capture images of herself in action, so part of her set took place in her high school gym. What better way to capture something important to her than to do so while she is in her element? Here the gym and net also become accessories, allowing movement to the shots. These few images capture this senior in a place where she has spent so much of her time in high school doing what she loves.
