Winter and Holiday Family Photo Outfit Ideas

So you’ve booked your winter or holiday family photos (or maybe you’re scrambling to pull looks together for Christmas cards) … but now comes the hardest part: what is everyone going to wear?!

Even after 15+ years of photographing and styling families, coordinating outfits for pictures can still overwhelm and stress me out. So I pulled together outfit inspiration for winter family photo outfits that are cozy and stylish but also classic. From neutral winter sweaters to festive holiday vibes and even matching Christmas pajamas, you’ll find outfit ideas for the whole crew. And the best part? A ton of these looks are shoppable right from Amazon (hello, 2-day Prime) and some of the best stores with amazing shipping / return policies. Everything featured in this winter family picture style guide has been curated by a professional family photographer and includes links (so you aren’t just inspired, but can also add-to-cart).

Winter Family Photo Outfits | Classic Neutrals + Cozy Layers

If you want timeless winter family pictures, neutrals are the way to go. Think soft creams, cozy grays, camel coats, and navy knits. Layer in textures like wool, sherpa, and corduroy to add dimension (and to keep your crew warm if you are taking family pictures outdoors in chilly climates).

Holiday Family Photo Outfits | Rich tones + Textures

Holiday cards are the perfect excuse to dress things up and look a bit more elevated than your normal jeans and t-shirt. Emerald, burgundy, and navy look amazing on camera (and they pop against holiday greenery and lights). And I’m all about the textures when it comes to styling so add in luxe textures like velvet, corduroy or silk to give more dimension and interest to your outfits.

Tips for Styling Winter & Holiday Pictures

  • Mix textures (velvet, knits, wool) + layer your outfits. It adds depth and make you look like you are out of a catalog.

  • Start with finding the outfit for mom first, and then style everyone around you.
  • Skip bulky puffy jackets and opt for wool coats.

  • Coordinate your outfits. Stick to 2–3 colors and coordinate across the family vs having everyone in matching looks (with matching family PJs being the exception to this one!)

  • Pajamas are 100% acceptable if you commit to the theme!

FAQs | What to Wear Winter & Holiday Family Photo Outfits

  • How to dress for winter family photos?
    The key to dressing your family for winter family photos is to stick with a color palette and style everyone’s outfits around the color palette. There are endless options of what you can select. My best tip is to pick a pattern or print for one person in your family and use that pattern / print to inspire the color palette for the rest of the family. If you prefer a more classic, monochromatic look, include lots of textures to give dimension and depth to your outfits while keeping the color palette monochromatic and neutral.
  • What is the best color to wear for a winter family photo shoot?
    The best colors for family photos are neutrals and muted tones (cream, tan, gray, navy, olive) because they photograph beautifully and are timeless. For holiday photos, seasonal hues like emerald, burgundy, and gold are great options for your winter color palette.

  • How should men dress for winter or holiday family pictures?
    Go for classic layers that feel polished but comfortable — a wool coat or textured jacket over a sweater or henley always looks great. Choose luxury fabrics in warmer neutral tones to create a polished yet cozy vibe. Want more inspo. Check out my curated list for men fall style on Amazon.

  • Should the family match or coordinate?
    Coordinating colors and textures is the way to go. Mix neutrals and earth tones with an accent color to add a pulled together look without looking “matchy matchy.” Or you can stick to the same color palette and opt for a mix of textures to create interest …. think chunky knits, waffle knit shirts, silk skirts and suede in the same color.

  • What to wear for a holiday photoshoot?

    For a holiday photoshoot, you can select a color palette that highlights the holiday. Avoid bright green and red, and instead go for the cousins of these traditional colors. Think forest green, burgundy, merlot, sage, cream. These colors bring the holiday vibes without being kitschy and bold. Navy is another great option along with nuetrals like camel, chocolate brown, beige, cream, grey and white.
