A strong modeling portfolio includes a cross-section of outfits, footwear, and props. Pick styles that flatter your figure or physique. Consider these wardrobe categories:
Formal / Dressy
- Gals: evening gowns (full-length), cocktail attire (varying lengths), bridal gowns, and event dresses.
- Guys: suit with selection of neckties, a tux, button-down shirts, nice slacks, sport coat.
Casual
- Gals: casual and summery dresses of any length and neckline; skirt/top combinations are OK, but not preferred.
- Guys: long-sleeved collared shirts, short-sleeved collared polos, dress jeans, khakis.
Sporty
- Gals: casual tops (NO see-through), T-shirts (fun messages that reveal your personality are fine, but no offensive language), shorts, jeans, khakis, and skirts.
- Guys: athletic logo T-shirts, tank tops, khakis, dockers, distressed jeans, and shorts.
Western
- Dallas/Fort Worth is the world's largest Western wear market, and as such, we recommend having a Western, "Country Style" outfit included in wardrobe choices.
- Gals: Suitable attire would be boots, jeans, Western style shirts, Western style dresses, "Daisy Duke" shorts with bare midriff, accessorize with Western belts/buckles, Cowboy hats, and props that would coordinate well with a Western vibe.
- Guys: Suitable attire would be boots, jeans, Western style shirts, accessorize with Western belts/buckles, Cowboy hats, and props that would coordinate well with a Western vibe.
