School picture day can be one most stressful days of the years for parents! We’ve complied some easy tips to dress your kids for school picture day.

1. Wear comfortable clothing

The biggest advice we can give is to make sure that your kids are comfortable in their clothing for picture day. You don’t want them to be fidgeting around, itching or uncomfortable when they sit down in front of the camera. Dress them in their favorite outfit or something they have worn before. Don’t be afraid to make them stand out! A vibrant outfit is always better than muted colors.

2. Consider the background
When you are dressing your children for picture day consider what the background of the photo will be. You want their outfit to compliment the background not clash with it. Colors in the same family work well. Don’t be afraid of a bold graphic or pattern. Mixing and matching can be fun as long as the colors blend.

3. Look at their eyes
You can really make your kids eyes pop by wearing colored clothing that compliments their eyes! Blues with blue eyes are gorgeous and darker eyes deserve a bold color!

4. Accessorize
Accessories can add a lot to your outfit. Keep it to one accessory though. If you are wearing something that is too big or flashy it can become the focus point of the photo instead of your kids.

5. Let their personality shine!
Let their personality shine.  If your kids are eccentric let them wear the clothes they want to wear. Pictures Days are meant to create lasting memories of how your child was at that point in time of their life, don’t take away from that by limiting or choosing their clothing for them.
