Christmas Photos: What to Wear!

What to Wear for your Christmas Photos!

Color choice, style, and patterns are a number one concern for most when it comes to photos, but I've put together a guide to help make the challenge much easier. Scroll through for color and style inspiration!  

Read through my tips on what to wear and what not to wear! 


 

Warm Holiday Tones

natural • warm • loving

These earthtone shades of your favorite Holiday Colors are a great option for your Christmas Photos.

What you want to make sure if to choose soft shades and avoid bright overly bold shades of these colors that will take over the photos.

We want to see your faces and the scenery, your clothing should just add style to it. Not be the center of attention.


 

GREENS & GOLDS

Match our Pine Tree Background perfectly with this color palette. Lean into the green shades with hints of off white and gold accents.


 

MIX & MATCH

Take the two color palettes above and mix and match. You really can’t go wrong in these color families.


Mix Patterns & Solids

Adding a delicate pattern to the mix of solids is a great way to make your photos pop. Go for subtle patterns think less is more.

Accessorize, but Keep it Simple

Add bows, curl your hair, or add a cute braid, but keep it simple and natural. These are all great ideas!

Add Some Texture!

Playful textures are a great addition to the clothing choices. Keep the textures to only some of the outfits, while keeping the others in solid materials. 


What to Avoid...

Bold Stripe or Strong Plaid

Patterns are great, but we want to avoid a bold pattern like buffalo plaid. Avoid Bold Stripes and Bold Plaid and instead go for Pin Stripes.

Matching Too Much!

Too much of one color will actually blend together in the photos, causing a difficulty seeing where one persons body differs from another. 

Too Much White or Too Much Black

We want to avoid the "everyone where a white shirt with jeans" idea. Black not only blends together, but also shows the most lint and hair.
