With so many options for what to wear at your senior session it can be difficult to pin down the right outfit. Between looking online and consulting your photographer you will find there is no shortage of tips and tricks to tackle outfits and that can make decisions even tougher. Yes, those tips and tricks are important but here is one go to solid choice to make this as easy as possible for you. Choose a little white dress.
A “little white dress” is a short white dress with short sleeves. A fast classic, the little white dress has become quite popular in senior photo sessions. And there are lots of great reasons a this dress should be one of your senior outfits.
Why Choose a Little White Dress for your Senior Photos?
1. Little White Dresses Shine in Senior Photos
Dresses are beautiful in pictures. The bright cheeriness of a white dress not only helps you stand out in photos but lends to that happy, excited emotion of your senior year. I love seeing all the designs available and brought to sessions. With so many designs to choose from, you are sure to find a style that will be flattering for you.
2. Little White Dresses are Versatile
A dress works with any backdrop. Instead of indoor studio photos, you could choose a session in any natural setting like a wild flower field, a rocky shoreline, or park and the outfit would be spot on. In an urban center with streets, bridges, roof tops and ivy walls; a dress would be an instant classic.
3. LWD’s are Both Classic and Timeless
White dresses are both classic & timeless. Sure, they may become more or less popular from generation to generation, but like the LBD, there is often at least one LWD in any gals closet.
4. Trendy
White dresses are super popular in senior photos right now. Choosing a LWD will give you an option that wins the outfit trifecta. It is classic, timeless and trendy!
Ideas for Mixing up the Little White Dress
If you want to give your LWD some variety, consider the following:
-
Rather than a little white dress, try a longer length dress which adds a formal layer to your photos
- Choose a heavily textured dress where the fabric look and feel enhance the LWD
-
Consider an outfit with tight long sleeves extenuate your arms making pretty lines in your pictures.
-
Instead of a white or neutral colored shoe, try a pop of color.
-
Adding color variety through your jewelry and accessories is also a great way to enhance your outfit.
