Fashion: dress us for family photos

[StrawberryBlondie]

We're doing family photos next week. Give me some ideas for what we should wear.

I have all today and the weekend to shop.

What kind of image/feel do you want to portray?

I would choose a color scheme and work from there. When we had ours, DS wore a red zip-up sweater with a navy stripe. So I wore a grey sweater with a red scarf; S.O. wore a navy sweater with a white stripe. We all wore jeans. Coordinated but not matchy.

I like more subtle colors, but I know people who really like one or two bright colors to pop.

What do you like?

My likes are browns, blacks, grays, and jeans, but also something that everyone looks good in.

Red, white, black and neon colors are the hardest to photograph if you are taking them outdoors and there are big blocks of that color. I try to include a neutral (grey is great for this) and at least 2 other colors that coordinate and add pattern into the mix. I've done Navy/Grey/Brown/Cream, with stripes as the pattern. Dark green, purple, grey and pink with flowers and plaid as the pattern. I've done black/white/grey/red with stripes as the pattern when we did something indoors.

I recommend searching pinterest (these are from 'family photographs what to wear):
