Senior Fashion Trend: Sneakers Go With Anything! {McKinney Senior Photography}

So you probably already know this, but sneakers are the buzz word for summer 2015!  Sneakers are everywhere from our traditional white Keds to blinged out gold and dressy.  So what does that mean for your senior pictures?  That depends...are you asking me, or are you asking mom? (insert huge smiley face here)

My seniors know that I am all for the current trends.  At the same time, I have been in the photography business enough years now to know that what is trendy in 2015 may look really silly in 2045 when you are a parent with kids of your own - who I promise WILL make fun of your "senior style".

What does that mean?  If sneakers are in style...let's go for it.  But lets put outfits together that will survive the test of time while incorporating what is cool and stylish today.

I have pulled a few stylish outfits from Polyvore that I feel would be amazing for your senior pictures - combining style and class.  While your kids may someday make fun of you for wearing sneakers with a dress, they won't be able to fault you for your fashion sensibility and overall style.

Dressed Up Sneakers: Black and White by stacey-lynne featuring guess jewelry

What makes this outfit work? Black and white is timeless and classic.  Although the dress is geometrical, the cut is flirty enough to work with the tropical theme of the sandals.

Platform Sneakers by bynoor featuring retro glasses

Another example of black and white, but completely different style from the first set.  This works because the entire outfit is streamlined and simple.  The pops of color add to the outfit. The sunglasses would make for a really fun picture!

So if you really want to embrace the trend and incorporate some blinged out sneakers, this set is a great example of how to do it for senior pictures.  Keep your outfit simple simple simple. Let the sneakers make the statement and then you can add some fun earrings that coordinate as an additional pop.  Your kids may think the sneakers are hilarious some day, but they won't be able to fault your style.

As always, we provide complementary in person consultations for all of our senior photography sessions.  We will help you plan your clothes to the last detail, or we do have a stylist available to take you shopping in your closet or at your favorite store to help you put together you own version of the current trends.

Until next time...
