Pose Outfit Guideline

Nov 11, 2023

Congratulations on being booked in for your pose assessment shoot!

A few important things to remember for the day

On the day of the shoot, we will be wanting to create different looks. As such, we would ask you to bring a minimum of 5 to a maximum of 7 different outfits with you on the day of your shoot so we have as much variety as possible.

To give you some ideas, it would be a good idea to bring something casual (high street fashion), also something smart to contrast (maybe something you would wear to a nice occasion).

You could also bring anything cultural to show your versatility or something seasonal (spring/summer looks and autumn/winter looks) is good, also a mixture of colours and varieties.

Try to make each outfit as different from the last so your final portfolio has a lot of variation.

Accessories are totally welcome, this will show your creativity and also jazz your outfits up so, for example, you could bring scarves/hats/bags/jewellery, and with footwear, you can bring flat shoes/trainers/boots/loafers/sandals etc.

We would recommend the outfits should be something age-appropriate as agencies and casting directories want to see an aspiring model for their actual age.

As you will have a Hair & Makeup Artist on the day, please remember to have clean/freshly washed hair with no hair products like hairspray/gel in, and no makeup on as the team in the studio will take care of this for you.

❌ For under 18’s please avoid bringing in:

  • No big branding, lettering or characters on clothing
  • No crop tops
  • No tiny shorts
  • No swimwear
  • No heels
  • No fancy dress
  • No football kits
  • No school uniform
  • No earrings

✅ What we recommend:

  • Block colours or prints that are not too busy and distracting.
  • As we will be creating a portfolio please think about making sure each of the outfits stand out from each other for variation.
  • Please think about different occasions and what you would wear at them, e.g. casual, sporty, party, family occasion.
  • Accessories are fine for variation

I hope this helps however if you need any more suggestions then feel free to email/call me any time.

Most importantly, best of luck for the day, I hope everything goes really well!

As you will have a Hair & Makeup Artist on the day, please remember to have clean/freshly washed hair with no hair products like hairspray/gel in, and no makeup on as the team in the studio will take care of this for you.

Finally, best of luck for the day. Have a great shoot!
