Flattering Clothing ~ Sleeve Length
It may be tempting to pull out your favorite tank top for your portrait session, but unless your arms are particularly thin, you may want to reconsider. Below are some examples of why types of arms do and don’t photograph well in tank tops.

If you’re super thin then your arms may photograph well, but for the rest of us, there are two tricks you can keep up your sleeve.

In a previous blog post we talked about what to wear during portraits if your arms are thicker than pencils. Essentially you want to have short to long sleeves rather than tank tops because it’s more flattering. On the other hand, if you happen to have thin arms, then you have more versatility with clothing options.

In our previous blog posts we saw what people with different arm thicknesses might prefer to wear to flatter their shapes the best. Pam described her arms as thick, whereas Debra described her arms as thin. Beata also graciously offered to volunteer for these sessions, and also described her arms as thin.
After you’ve made all your clothing choices, you might want to think about how to personalize your session with creative portrait ideas.
