I know it’s hard to find the perfect outfit for your senior pictures, but you’re not alone! With so many clothing stores, it can be hard to choose. I’m here to help you make the best decision for your senior pictures. In this post, I’m listing some of the best places to shop for senior picture outfits, so you can find your perfect outfit, I’ll help you find out where to go, what to wear and much more!

Find the right store

To find the best clothing store for your senior pictures, look for stores that:

• fits your style,
• carries your size,
• is nearby (or easily accessible) 
• and has a wide range of clothes.

The next thing you need to do is to decide what kind of clothing you want to buy. If you don’t know what to buy, you can go to a store and try on a few different outfits. When you find an outfit that you like, then you can buy it.

Finally, it’s important to know that you may have to shop at more than one store to complete your look. Especially when adding in accessories or layers.

Where to shop for senior picture outfits

You want to make sure that you look good in your senior photos. To help you out, I’m giving you a list of some of the best clothing stores for senior pictures. The best part is that all of these stores are in popular malls or shopping outlets. So if you live in the Houston area, you can visit these stores to find out what they have to offer. But, I’m from a small town myself so I’ve made sure to include popular stores that you can shop online at too. 

Urban Outfitters 

Now, one of the most explosive brands in the last few years is Urban Outfitters. They’re now focused on trendy, quality clothing so you won’t find as much casual wear here. Urban Outfitter is a great choice if you’re big on expressing yourself. 

Old Navy 

An oldie but goody is Old Navy. There are lots of teens who cap on Old Navy. But the clothing store has a great selection of clothes that are stylish. I really like how they’re not big into logos and keep it simple. Two factors that are recommended when it comes to styling for portraits. I’ve also personally never seen anything Old Navy made that doesn’t fit perfectly. P.S. Old Navy is one of the best places to buy jeans.

Zara

Zara is one of the best clothing stores for senior pictures because it offers high-quality clothing. Stylish and elegant, Zara is a favorite among models and celebrities. If you want to dress up like a celebrity in your senior portraits, Zara is the place to go. In addition to the clothing options, they also offer a wide range of shoes and accessories.

Torrid 

Torrid is a clothing store for girls with curves. They offer a variety of trendy clothes, including dresses, pants, jeans, and accessories for the fashion forward woman. Their clothes are designed to flatter the female form and are comfortable for everyday wear.

rue21

This store probably has one of the largest selections of jewelry, purses, scarves and shoes out of the entire list. Most of rue21’s designs and styles are casual. As long as you’re wanting a casual outfit for your senior photos, rue21 makes a great option. Plus, it’s one of the most budget friendly options on the list. 

Charlotte Russe

Charlotte Russe is a great place to find clothing for high school senior girls. It’s got an impressive selection of women’s sizes, including petite, tall, junior and plus sizes. In addition, Charlotte Russe has a large variety of accessories like jewelry, sunglasses and more. I’m a huge fan of their bracelets and necklaces.  

Thrift Stores

For vintage finds and one-of-a-kind pieces, thrift stores are great! You never know what you might find there, and they have the perfect eclectic pieces.

Onlines Shopping: Shein and Fashion Nova for Senior Pictures

I know tons of seniors and teens who have. If you’re not in a time crunch and willing to wait, check out online stores likes Fashion Nova and Shein. Most pieces are affordable, but you won’t find unique pieces here so keep that in mind.

Definitely make sure to try on everything as soon as you get it, because you usually only get one free return per order. Lots of variety and are super trendy, but the quality isn’t that great. So while it’s a great place to find stylish outfits, read the reviews, triple-check sizing, and know that it might not last after 1 to 2 washes. Warning: There may be potential harmful chemicals used to make the clothing or items so shop there at your own risk. 

Bonus for High School Senior Athletes

If you’re a senior athlete, check out Jostens or Balfour instead.
