A brown scarf with little cream spots, a soft sweater and dark jeans. If you’ve been saving doe-print outfits, this is one way to bring the print into your senior pictures.
You can wear it with pieces you already like. Let’s look at the outfit on the rack, how to try the scarf, and what to bring if you want a few photos with it off.
The outfit: a doe-print scarf, cream sweater and dark jeans
The scarf is the patterned piece in this look. The cream sweater picks up the light spots, and the dark jeans give you another color to work with. You could finish it with brown boots, loafers or the sneakers you wear all the time.
Try your own versions of those pieces together. A cream tee could take the place of the sweater on a warm day. A cardigan could give you a layer to open or take off. You can keep the scarf and change the rest to suit what you like wearing.
For more starting points, the senior picture outfit guide covers other looks you can bring alongside this one.
Try the scarf with your neckline
Start with a loose drape over the sweater. Let the ends fall where they want, then look at how much of the neckline you can see. You might like a loose loop with one end longer than the other.
Put your hair the way you plan to wear it. Turn your head, sit down and take a few steps. Check whether the scarf stays comfortable and whether you like where the print sits beside your face.
The scarf’s length matters when you change the tie. A long scarf can hang over a sweater. A smaller square may suit a little neck tie or a bag handle. White House Black Market’s doe-print scarf example lists several ways to wear an oblong scarf. It’s a style reference if you’re comparing shapes; it isn’t an exact match to the scarf pictured here.
Take a few photos with the scarf off, too
You can start with the scarf on and set it aside for another part of the session. The cream sweater and jeans give you a second version of the outfit without changing all your clothes.
If you like both, tell us when we plan your photos. We can work the change into the outfit time included in your session. You could keep the same shoes, or bring another pair you want to try.
There’s room for the print you’re enjoying now and the sweater you’ve worn all year.
Pack the scarf where you can find it
Keep it with this outfit so it comes out of the bag when you need it. A small pouch works for a light scarf; a larger one can sit loosely folded on top of your clothes. Give jewelry its own space so clasps don’t catch the fabric.
Check the label before washing, pressing or steaming. If your sweater is wool, Woolmark’s care guide explains how to handle it and why knitwear is usually folded for storage. You can set the outfit out briefly to compare the pieces, then pack it in a way that suits the fabric.
Bring the shoes you chose and a walking pair if your session includes outdoor stops in Bolivar or the 417.
A few questions about doe print in senior photos
Can I wear a print for senior pictures?
Yes. A scarf is one way to try a print with clothes you already own. Send us a photo of the whole outfit if you’d like to talk through the colors and setting.
Do I need more doe-print pieces to match?
You can wear the scarf on its own. If you like another printed piece, try them together and see which version you want to bring. This outfit uses the scarf as its only print.
Can I wear the scarf another way during the session?
You can bring another idea to try. Check the scarf’s size and the time included in your session. A loose drape and a scarf-free version can give you two options with the same sweater and jeans.
