Wardrobe Do’s + Don’ts

DO:

Give yourself time to prepare — planning ahead always pays off.


Keep it simple and avoid overly busy prints.


Choose relaxed styles and neutral tones for a timeless look.


Coordinate your colors so everything flows beautifully together.


Stay true to you — wear what makes you feel confident and comfortable.

DON’T:

Wear logos, text, or bold busy patterns — they distract from your faces.


Go too casual — this is your time to shine, so wear your best!


Skip the prep — plan ahead so you feel ready and relaxed.


Try a brand-new style you’ve never worn before — you want to feel like yourself.


Match everyone’s colors exactly — variation and coordination look more natural.

KEEP IN MIND:

Mixing patterns, colors, and textures can look amazing — don’t be afraid to play with it.


Remove sports watches, fitness trackers, and hair ties from wrists.


Accessories can elevate your look — think hats, jewelry, or headbands.


Consider having your hair and makeup professionally done for a polished finish.

✨ MOST IMPORTANTLY — HAVE FUN!
