According to Stylists, These 13 Pieces Flatter, Sculpt and Always Photograph Well

Warmer weather means even more photo opportunities to share with your digital community, from life update photo dumps to the first outdoor brunch pics of the season. However, while preparing for your mini shoot, it’s always wise to consider how your outfit will look on camera. After all, there’s nothing like loving your look only to realize it’s not quite reading the same on screen. Knowing what works and what doesn’t is helpful, so we decided to ask a professional for advice on what to wear for those picture-perfect moments.

“For photo shoots, I always try to steer clear of loud patterns or things that can get lost in the camera,” fashion stylist Zoe Gofman told Us. “I always assure that garments don’t have too much fabric because the talent could potentially get lost in the fabric if not pinned or fitted correctly.”

Whether for social media or professional family photos, those looking for a flattering fit should remember that presentation is everything. “Make sure there’s good tailoring done to whatever you’re wearing,” fashion expert Elisabeth Kassab added. “Also, make sure that your look is steamed or pressed accordingly so there are no creases or wrinkles.”

If you’re looking for a no-fail solution, we’ve found a few pieces that will always photograph well. Check out our top picks for bringing your visuals to life.
