If you are about to take part in your very first modeling audition and have never been to modeling auditions before, you are probably uncertain when it comes to what to wear. Don’t worry about it though because I am here to offer you some pointers what to wear for your very first audition to look like a professional model.

Ladies first. I am going to write a few words about how women should dress for an audition. Since most if not all agencies like to see women overdressed for auditions, it is advisable to dress casual. Jeans and a tank top or a tight t-shirt should do the trick. The same principle applies to make up. Wear only a minimal amount of makeup and don’t over do it. Don’t go for high heels, but rather opt for flats. The modeling agency you are auditioning for will almost for sure want to see how tall you are when you don’t wear heels. On the other hand, I would advise you to bring a pair of heels with you just in case you are asked to wear them.

Now, when it comes to men, the principle is rather similar here. Most modeling agencies want male models to look casual, but at the same time they want them to me masculine looking. Don’t try too hard to look too extravagant by wearing unique hats or glasses. As it is in the case of female models, men are also encouraged to wear jeans and a t-shirt to an audition. Agencies like to check if a model looks good in something as simple as jeans and t-shirt.

Another piece of advice I would like to offer you is to check what other models are wearing and try to copy them in some way, but not to the letter. Try to take some elements from them, but not everything.
