Wardrobe Wednesday {Let's Hear it for the Boys!}

Sing it...you know you know the lyrics!

This one's for the boys! This week's post is from Kelly Valeri of Kelly V. Photography! She focused on just the boys...because admit it, they can usually use some extra help. ;)

Here's what she has to say:

Since the class of 2011 is scheduling senior sessions in full force, I thought I'd offer some suggestions for the guys.

I think a common misconception is that men don't care how they look, when really, most of the guys I shoot bring just as many outfits to their session as the girls. Although you'll naturally gravitate toward your favorite things in your closet, be sure to choose a variety of looks, too. Even one dressier outfit will help round out your photos.

In the first outfit below, I took a classic button-down shirt and made two completely different looks with it. One is dressy, one is more casual. For the casual look, I'd recommend rolling up the sleeves. But if you choose to go the more formal route and you're looking for funky ties, check out the shopping list. I found a site that's FULL of them.

While you're packing, don't forget to choose something that's just, well, you. If you wear crazy graphic T-shirts, bring a few. If color is your thing, don't shy away from it.

And be sure to bring a variety of shoes, too. Different looks need different finishing touches. Ties just don't go with flip flops. Unless that's your thing!
