What do you do when you don’t know something? That’s one question that you don’t have to Google the answer to. Quick-drawing your phone is practically a reflex.

So it’s not surprising that for a googolplex – okay, a lot – of modern men, the Hoover of search engines is their de facto personal stylist. “Hey Google, what should I wear?” That begs the question though: should you trust Google for style advice? And given that the top result for that particular search is an article about health websites, we’d suggest not. FashionBeans has therefore compiled more relevant and, dare we say, qualified answers to some of the strangest yet regularly googled style questions. Search no more.

Oh, and other search engines are available.

What To Wear For Engagement Photos

A look of resignation (to cringe-inducing engagement photos, not your betrothed)? To the extent that engagement photos have a point, it’s to be a less stuffy, more “fun” (shudder) version of your wedding photos. That could mean wearing your everyday clothes, but maybe not your favourite sweatpants. You’ll also want to look back at them and not hate yourself any more than you did at the time, so nothing that’ll go too far out of fashion.

Female-focused wedding websites counsel wearing clothes “that make you feel like you” (because this isn’t at all staged), that complement your other half but don’t matchy-match (bleurgh) and that won’t distract or create weird visual effects (so not bright or busy).

“Be mindful of how your colour scheme will flow through the collection of photos,” says Brides.com, which also recommends restricting yourself to two outfit changes. (Wait, collection? Outfit changes?!)

What To Wear For Passport Photos

Anything, apart from maybe your “Drug Mule” T-shirt. What you definitely shouldn’t wear is sunglasses or tinted glasses, which are expressly forbidden. Other glasses are fine if you need them, as long as your eyes are visible “without any glare or reflection”.
