Even though we are only in the summer we are still thinking ahead of what will be coming soon in the fall and winter. We are letting you know now what should you wear in your holiday photos so you can bookmark this post so you have it for future use.
When preparing Christmas photo cards, taking the right photos is the first step. Wearing the right clothes may help you get the best pictures. Even though you should wear whatever looks good and feels comfortable, the following tips may help you.
1. Dress for the Season
When dressing for Christmas cards, the most important tip is to ensure that you and your family all dress appropriately for the season. If you choose to look cozy, every member of the family should look the same. Your entire family should look like they can fit comfortably in the same setting.
2. Go Neutral
Avoid bright and dramatic patterns and colors as they may take attention away from you and your family. Neutral colors include navy blue, brown, and cream. They are classic, and they keep the focus on you.
3. Add Some Color
If you wish to stand out, consider using bright colors. If you want to use lots of colors, ensure that they are of similar intensity. If one color is too bright, it may take attention away from the others. Even if you don’t usually wear bright colors, consider wearing them from your Christmas card photo. Warm colors and cool colors complement each other, and they could make your card unforgettable.
4. Keep It Casual
Consider posing for a casual shot. When selecting your casual outfits, pay attention to comfort. Blue jeans, plain white t-shirts, and simple sweatshirts can create a relaxed look.
5. Avoid Uniforms
Taking your Christmas photos does not need to be a serious affair. Putting your entire family in uniforms is not a good idea. It does not capture your unique personalities. People are going to view the card for a short time so you should try to be relaxed.
6. Be Creative
If you choose to take staged Christmas card photos, do not put too much effort into being realistic. Your card is not meant to be a reflection of reality. Be creative, fun, and whimsical. For example, it is okay to wear snow boots with your favorite pair of jeans even though you wouldn’t do it under normal circumstances. Even if you don’t typically dress fancy or dramatic, it is okay to do it for your Christmas card photo.
7. Consider the Texture and Fabric
Textured sweaters are great for your Christmas card photo. Keep your fabric cozy and include layers to add variety to your outfit. Textured clothing items will make your photo more interesting.
8. Outerwear
A simple way to make your card more interesting is by coordinating your outwear. This includes your scarves, winter coats, boots, and sweaters. Take your picture outdoors doing your favorite winter activities.
When trying to find the perfect outfit for your Christmas card photo, pay attention to what you and your family like. Your photographer may help you choose the right clothing to achieve your desired look. Consider trying out a few options before making the final decision. What works for one family may not work for another.
