To help answer some previous what-to-wear questions, here are a few of my favorite tips. Most importantly, the engagement session is all about fun, so wear what you love.
- Select outfits that you feel like yourselves in. Maybe a snazzier version of your everyday selves.
- Wear shoes and clothes that you can move around in. We may do a quite a bit of walking.
- Choose outfits that are similar in formality. For example, don’t pair her cocktail dress with his flip flops.
- Opt for coordinating colors instead of matching colors.
- Add accessories. Cute flats. Fabulous heels. Beads and baubles.
I’ve constructed a few examples below (if you’d like to play around with your own outfit concoctions, polyvore is a lot of fun):If you love pattern, don’t be afraid to wear a little. Just pair it with solid colors. Layers are a great idea too, like this cardi and dress combo.
An easy way to pair colors is to choose one hue (like the pink blouse here) then combine it with a neutral. So simple.
This necklace pulls a little bit of the blue from his outfit into her outfit.
Ladies, if you can get your guy out of his old sneakers or flip flops and into some real shoes, you get bonus points from me.
Maybe you’re comfortable in something more casual? Try sprucing up jeans and a tee with a pretty necklace, high heels, or cute flats.
