What to Wear for a Couple Photoshoot: Styling Tips

3. Go for Comfort With Style
You’ll be sitting, walking, maybe even running or dancing. So choose outfits that feel good to move in. If you’re constantly adjusting straps or fixing wrinkles, it’ll show on your face and body language.

For her:

• Flowing dresses, sarees, jumpsuits, maxi skirts
• Avoid very short or tight outfits unless you’re confident and comfortable

For him:

• Well-fitted shirts, semi-formal jackets, chinos, ethnic kurtas
• Avoid loose T-shirts or distracting logos

4. Don’t Forget the Footwear
It might not be the star of the photo, but shoes can change your posture and confidence.

• Women – Block heels, pretty flats, or even barefoot for beach shoots
• Men – Loafers, clean sneakers, or ethnic sandals

Avoid worn-out sneakers or slippers unless they’re part of a casual theme.

6. Ethnic or Western? Try Both!
If time allows, bring two sets of outfits:

• Look 1 – Ethnic: Saree and kurta, lehenga and sherwani, or Indo-western fusion
• Look 2 – Western: Jeans and shirts, gowns, co-ords, or formal wear

Changing outfits adds storytelling value and gives you a richer photo collection.

7. Consider Seasonal Elements
Is it windy, rainy, or too hot? Dress accordingly:

• Summer shoot – Breathable fabrics like cotton or linen
• Rainy / Monsoon – Waterproof makeup, solid footwear, bold colors
• Winter / Early morning – Add light layers or shawls for a cozy, stylish vibe
