Florals for Spring? Groundbreaking. Wearing patterns, such as florals, to your photoshoot can add visual interest and depth to your portrait photos, but it can be tricky to get right. Here are some tips on how to choose clothing with patterns:
- Choose a color scheme: Stick to a color scheme when selecting clothing to ensure that the patterns don’t create a busy look or clash with the rest of the outfit. Select a few colors that complement each other and choose patterns that incorporate those colors.
- Mix and match: Don’t be afraid to mix and match patterns. However, make sure the patterns are different enough from each other to create a dynamic and interesting look. Consider pairing a bold, geometric pattern with a smaller, more subtle pattern.
- Use patterns sparingly: If you’re not comfortable wearing bold, all-over patterned clothing, it’s okay to use patterns sparingly. A patterned scarf or tie can add interest to an otherwise solid-colored outfit without being overwhelming.
- Consider the scale: The size of the pattern can have a big impact on the overall look of your outfit. Larger patterns tend to look bolder and more dramatic, while smaller patterns can be more subtle and refined.
- Pay attention to the setting: Just like for any picture-ready outfit, think about where the photoshoot will take place. Choose colors and patterns that complement the setting instead of clashing with it.
Remember, the most important thing is to choose clothing that makes you feel comfortable and confident. Experiment with different patterns and colors to find the combination that works best for you. Happy posing!
