Style tips

Look at your home decor

This may seem odd. What does your home decor have to do with family picture outfits? A lot actually. Do you like bright colours? Neutrals? Since you will be hanging these photos in your house you want to make sure the colours of your clothes go with the colour scheme of your home.

Walk around your home and think about where will you display these photos? If they are going in the living room look at the colours in there. Do you have bright decorative pillows or more of a neutral palette?

Colours and Patterns

Go for similar tones. For example neutral colours mixed with soft colours or mid tones or a light colour palette like soft pinks and blues with whites and creams. Personally, I enjoy having an outfit in the mix that has the colours of everyones outfit in it. However, not everyone in the photo should wear patterns as it may distract the final image.

Consider picking one outfit for your family photos that has a lot of colours or fun pattern. Choose that outfit first. This gives you plenty of colours to choose from to pick your coordinating colours.
