Fall brings cosy weather and a picturesque landscape in rich shades of orange, yellow, and red as the leaves change with the autumn colour palette. But finding an outfit for every individual can be confusing!
You want coordination without looking too matchy-matchy, while the goal is to feel comfortable, stylish, and seasonal at once. To help you prepare for your next family photo session, We’re sharing 9 fall family photo outfit ideas that will make your portraits timeless and picture-perfect.
1. Warm Earth Tones
Warm earth tones like mustard yellow, rust, and olive green create a cosy, inviting atmosphere for fall family photos.
These colours marry so effortlessly with outdoor autumnal backdrops, making for a perfect outdoor shoot. Steer clear of looking too matchy-matchy by dressing different family members with different tones of these colours.
Earthy tones also complement most skin tones, beautifully warm them, and add depth to the photos.
You may add a touch of personality by mixing and matching some textured fabrics like chunky knits or corduroys for some added visual interest in your pictures.
2. Layers involving Denim and Plaid
Denim and plaid is the quintessential combination that defines a fall season, the perfect family photo combination.
Dark-wash denim pairs famously well with plaid shirts or vests for the perfect form of casual yet polished looks. Mom can opt for a little denim dress or wear a scarf in plaid with her jeans, while Dad and the kids can layer up a few plaid shirts under jackets and vests.
This duo is warm, versatile, and easy to pair with any outdoor setting. It makes it a fail-safe for falls.
3. Soft Neutrals and Creams
The soft neutrals in beige, cream, and light grey evoke the serene, dreamy atmosphere that Falls family photos seem to promise. It captures the softness of autumn light and falling leaves while bringing a calming, cohesive feel.
Whether it’s a soft-cream sweater, taupe pants, or anything similar, neutrals mix well with any background.
Adding dainty accessories in the form of a soft pink scarf or light brown boots can create subtle tones that do not overwhelm the overall colours of the photo, so the main focus remains on the bond between the family.
4. Deep Jewel Tones
Deep jewel-toned colours such as emerald green, burgundy, and sapphire strike the eye against the fall’s earthy background. Such lovely colours give class and excellence to the family photos and do not overpower the background.
The major pieces, such as velvet emerald dresses or burgundy sweaters, can be available if the accessories are neutral and can balance the boldness.
Jewel tones can be used and mixed among the members to create an eye-catching palette, which is perfect for framing.
5. Sweater Weather Vibes
Sweaters equal fall, wrapped in a warm, layered look for family photos. Sweater weather vibes are comfortable and stylish.
Dress your kin in oversized knits or chunky cardigans. Neutral shades like grey, beige, or forest green make an excellent base. Punch it up with scarves or beanies for some colour: warm and cosy.
Sweaters make it easy to coordinate family members but avoid matching outfits. Whether indoors by the fire or in a park, this look gives off warmth with style.
6. Coordinated Outfits with Subtle Patterns
Subtle patterns, stripes, polka dots, or small floral prints add much visual interest to your fall family photos without overwhelming the scene.
Use one or two family members who dress in patterned pieces and have others wear solid colours that complement the design.
This approach provides variety without losing uniformity. Repetition can be effective as a means of adding personality to the photo, such as having mom wear a polka-dot dress and dad wear a striped sweater.
Simply make the repetition subtle so it complements the scene.
7. Monochromatic with a Pop of Color
Monochromatic clothing carries a clean, chic style yet allows the fall backdrop to take centre stage. Wrap the whole family in black, grey, or navy.
It is minimalist, a good solution for families who feel a ‘clean’ and subtle aesthetic fits their style.
Throw in some fall flair with something bold and colourful—in this case, a mustard scarf, deep red hat, or burgundy boots. That splash of colour draws attention but keeps the overall look timeless and effortlessly stylish.
8. Layering with Vests and Jackets
Layering is a must for fall family photography, especially when you are dealing with unpredictable weather.
Vests and jackets not only add depth and texture to your outfit but also give you flexibility as the temperature changes during the shoot.
A classic trench coat for mom, a leather jacket for dad, and fun puffy vests for the kids make for a coordinated yet casual look.
Added layers also create visual interest without overwhelming the family photos’ overall composition, making them practical and stylish.
9. Rustic and Casual in Flannel
Flannel is a classic fall fabric, which can bring up feelings of warmth and cosy. Get dressed in flannel shirts and pair them with jeans or khakis for a just that much more relaxed, rustic family photo.
Flannel also comes in many colours and patterns, so you can mix and match within the family while keeping a casual yet coordinating look.
The texture of the flannel looks beautiful against autumn foliage, making this a great choice for outdoor shoots, where you can keep everyone dressed comfortably all day long.
