When it comes to family photos choosing the right family outfits sets the tone and vibe for your family photos. It can be somewhat stressful and overwhelming to style and coordinate your whole family for your annual family photos.
I am sharing all my insider tips and tricks on how to coordinate your crew
I’ll walk you through the best outfit colors for family pictures and inspiration on what to wear so that you have the best family photo outfits
Below are some tips to help you get started on coordinating your outfits.
1. Aim for Coordinated But Not Matched: Choose a color scheme that complements each family member’s skin tone, and coordinate outfits without everyone wearing the exact same thing. You don’t want to look matchy, matchy or like twins but rather that you have styled everyone in a similar vibe. Start with a color palette and pull different colors for tops and bottoms for everyone from that color palette.
2. Start with Dressing You (Mom) Find a dress or outfit you feel amazing in and then coordinate everyone around you.
3. Pick One person to Be in a Pattern: foe example Fall flannels and patterns are the great When styling outfits for fall family photos but I suggest limiting clothing with a pattern to one person. You can use the pattern or print as the color palette for the rest of the family and use it to tie the look together
4. Layering: Fall & winter weather can be unpredictable, so layering is key. Sweaters, scarves, vests, and cardigans not only keep you warm but also add depth and texture to your photos Men and boys look great in layers. Opt for fun textures and colors to create depth in the outfits.
5. Textures and Patterns: Incorporate different textures (such as chunky knit, suede, or plaid) and subtle patterns to add visual interest to your outfits without being too distracting. Have one person in your family in a printed pattern and use that to tie the colors and style to everyone else.
Pro tip : Try to avoid having more than 1-2 people in a pattern to avoid your outfits being too busy on camera.
6. Accessories: Don’t forget about accessories! Hats, scarves, and statement jewelry are fun ways to add personality to simple, classic looks. Toss a beanie hat on your toddler, a huge bow headband on your baby girl or a fun hat on yourself to give your look a little more personality.
