Most photographers prefer to have a variety of options (but please refer to &#8220;styles of clothes&#8221; below).<\/p>\n<p>Options are always good and you never know when you&#8217;ll feel like wearing something.

It is better to always bring more than you think you will need, however it may not always be possible to shoot with everything you bring.<\/p>\n<h2>Styles of Clothes<\/h2>\n<p>I recommend solid color clothing, with no polka dots, no wild prints, and no distracting stripes.
