Wondering how to dress for Portrait Day? Lifetouch has nearly 70 years of experience to guide you toward your best look.
 | Choose solid colors or simple patterns that complement the portrait’s background |
 | Medium to dark shades create a timeless look |
 | Soft shades enhance lighter backgrounds |
 | Avoid shirts with slogans as photo cropping can cut words in half |
 | Long-sleeved shirts are best since short sleeves can be distracting and sleeveless tops can look too casual |
 | Select small accessories that do not detract, such as simple earrings, pins and necklaces |
Plan for a portrait to remember by:
 | Scheduling a haircut two weeks before Portrait Day |
 | Sending hair and makeup supplies to school with your child for quick touch-ups (for older teens) |
 | Limiting exposure to the sun a few days before Portrait Day |
 | Making sure nails are trimmed and clean as hands may show in portrait (spring only) |
