Here is a handy – dandy pocket sized guide to your ever growing wardrobe

Here is a handy – dandy pocket sized guide to your ever growing wardrobe.

While this may not be an exhaustive list of *every* rule a director or stylist could abide by, it is a great general resource for quick reference!

DO’S: Be comfortable!

If you can’t sit, or walk with confidence, there’s no way you’ll be able to convince anyone you are the right guy/gal for the job!

DONT'S: Loud patterns

No stripes, zig zags or anything flashy. You are there to show them what you’ve got, not what you’ve bought

DO'S:Have a variety

Bring multiples in varying shapes and colors to a fitting. Shading can mean the world for that exact right look

DONT'S: Sparkles/Sequins

While these are a fav of every little girl (and lets’ face it, stage moms too!), they play tricks with the cameras and are not recommended

DO'S: Always bring back-up

Spilt your coffee? Splashed by a passing car? Another actor in the same Aritzia top as you? Always be prepared with a ‘just in case’ outfit

DONT'S: Anything Neon

Pretty much for the same reasons as sparkles and sequins, neon is not flattering unless you are specifically styled that way by your wardrobe team

DO'S: Keep it simple

Fussing and mussing about isn’t only distracting to you, but to the directors and casting agents as well. Showcase yourself, not all those extra layers

DONT'S: Showing *too much* skin

Especially for kids! Avoid spaghetti straps and short shorts

DO'S: Always be cleaned and pressed/steamed

Whether you prefer an old fashioned iron, or a new styled hand steamer, make sure you are wrinkle free. It shows you have put effort into your appearance without showing the effort behind the thousands of auditions and late night commutes

DONT'S: Logos/Words/Team names
