Tell me what to wear

[isabel]

We're doing 6 month photos on Saturday. DS will be in grey corduroys and a hunter green pullover.

What should H and I wear? I am leaning toward jeans. I also have a pair of brown skinny jeans. Throw out suggestions for me and I'll try to match them up to stuff we already have, or maybe go shopping. This will be our first ever Christmas card. lol TIA!

I'd plan on your husband in jeans and a plaid shirt that has a maybe bit of green or gray in it, either flannel or cotton or whatever fits his style. For you, I'd go with a sweater and jeans or casual pants. A really simple neutral top in oatmeal or gray would photograph nicely. I like the idea of more casual and realistic and not matchy-matchy.

Our photographers tip was to avoid patterns. Small patterns don't photograph well and large patterns can be distracting. I like the idea of brown skinny jeans but what color would you wear on top? Maroon? And then maybe your H could wear something with both maroon and dark green in it with jeans?

Thanks, guys! I'll pull some outfits together tonight and see how everything looks.

This looks spiffy:



Or you could go for the minimalist look.

serenity, I'm going to buy those striped pants for DS. Good call!

I like the maroon idea, too, and maybe your husband in a pale blue oxford (with you both in jeans).That could also work as a Christmas/holiday card if you send them out, without being completely Christmas-y.
