Ultimately, you want to wear an outfit that makes you feel gorgeous and confident, since that will show through in the photos. But here are a few general guidelines when it comes to picking out your outfit:

• Stick with solids, as patterns can look too busy in photos.

• Wear a light-colored top to add more light to your face (especially helpful in a dimly-lit bar).

• Pick colors that flatter your skin tone. Here’s a little cheat sheet: Pastels for fair skin, earthy or saturated colors for medium/olive skin, and jewel tones for dark skin.

• Last, but not least, find the best clothes for your hair color here.
