What to wear

Clothing Styles
Wear clothing styles that compliment each other. For example, both should wear "business casual" or both should wear "dressy informal" (shorts, tank tops, and old ripped or branded clothing is all that great for engagement portraits). If one person is dressed more formally and another is very casual, it will look like you just met and don't necessarily belong together.

Your choice for clothing may also depend on the location of your portrait. You may want more formal clothing for indoor portraits but more of a dressy casual for outdoor portraits.

Clothing Colors for your Engagement Portrait
When choosing clothing colors and styles for your engagement portraits you don't want to look like twins, but you do want to look as if you belong together.

Ensure that your colors blend in with each other, such as different shades of the same color or a light color with a dark color. You generally can't go wrong with medium to dark shades of blue or brown. Be sure to coordinate your colors so that they do not clash. Avoid wearing clothing with checks, strong stripes, wording/slogans or that is very bright or has busy patterns.

Clothing Comfort and Fit
Ensure that you wear comfortable clothing. You will only look as comfortable as you feel and how you feel will be reflected in your engagement portraits. Women might want to wear pants with long sleeves and men might want to wear khaki pants with a buttoned shirt. Long sleeves are generally better than short sleeves for portraits.
