I posted in the kid's folder, but thought I would ask over here too. I'm specifically asking about kids, not adults since I know there are differences in what is considered acceptable.

I always thought that you weren't supposed to use any sort of tank tops or halter tops in headshots. But lately I have seen a lot of kids wearing them in their headshots. Is this considered acceptable now? Is it different for NY and LA? I thought maybe it was more acceptable in LA because of the weather there and the more relaxed lifestyle. Any opinions?

Ever since the advent of air travel and the Internet, there is no "East Coast and West Coast" mentality anymore. Not really.

As I've said many times, ALWAYS WEAR WARDROBE THAT IS APPROPRIATE TO THE ROLE AND AGE RANGE YOU WISH TO PLAY. Fashion changes like the weather... to gain good insights on what kids are wearing, just visit a clothing store that specializes in duds for young people and simply take note of what the mannequins are wearing. That will tell you all you need to know.

My advice to a kid is to look like a kid, not a little grown-up.
