0 78 3 minutes read

If you’re at all familiar with the modeling industry, you probably know that models must regularly go to casting calls, where designers, editors, or agents pick and choose which girls they want to hire. At these castings, the models are expected to look their best but also to appear somewhat like blank canvases, making it easier for those responsible for casting to imagine the girls in a variety of looks.

While most of us college girls won’t be attending model castings, we can find fashion and beauty inspiration in the minimalist looks our favorite models rock for these events. (And if you are an aspiring model, you need to know what to wear to a casting!) Here, we’ll take a look at some of the fashion and beauty rules for casting calls that college girls can try themselves.

At castings, models are asked to dress as simply as possible, since the people responsible for casting need to see what each model looks like, without being distracted by loud or trendy clothes. A basic model outfit usually means black or blue skinny jeans, a neutral tank or t-shirt, and a good pair of heels.

So take a lesson from this: Sometimes the simplest outfits are the best, especially when you want your natural beauty to shine. For instance, when meeting someone for the first time, a basic outfit can be the best choice because it allows your face and what you’re saying to be the focus – in other words, your personality will not be competing for attention with loud prints or overwhelming colors.
