Trying to figure out what to wear for holiday family photos might be the most stressful part of taking them. Getting everyone dressed, coordinating colors, and convincing the entire family to cooperate for a few decent pictures is quite the undertaking. And somehow, Mom always ends up being in charge of everyone’s outfits.
I’ve pulled together a few holiday family photo outfit ideas that make coordinating everyone a little easier. Whether you love traditional Christmas colors or prefer something more neutral, these outfit combinations work together without making the whole family look like they’re wearing matching uniforms.
Cozy Neutral Family Photo Outfits
Not everyone wants traditional Christmas colors in their family pictures, and I completely understand that.
Cream, oatmeal, camel, and soft black make such a beautiful combination for holiday photos. They’re timeless, easy to coordinate, and won’t feel dated when you’re looking back at the pictures years from now.
I especially love sweater dresses, cable-knit sweaters, and textured knits for this look. Mixing those different textures keeps everything interesting, even when you’re working with a simple color palette.
This is also a great option if you’re taking family pictures at home or want something that feels a little more relaxed.
Christmas Family Photo Outfits: The Evergreen Edit
There’s something about deep green and cream together that just feels like Christmas.
This color combination is one of my favorites because it has that traditional holiday feel without being too matchy. The rich evergreen dresses, soft green layers, and cream sweaters all complement each other beautifully.
It’s also a great option if you’re planning photos somewhere with lots of greenery, a Christmas tree farm, or a cozy indoor holiday setup.
And I love that most of these pieces could easily be worn again throughout the winter. Always a bonus when you’re buying outfits for the entire family.
Holiday Family Photo Outfits: The Berry Edit
If you love a classic Christmas look but don’t necessarily want everyone dressed in bright red, this one’s for you.
Deep burgundy, wine, and berry tones are so pretty for holiday pictures. They’re festive without being overly Christmas-themed, and they photograph beautifully together. I especially love mixing in different textures like velvet, cozy knits, and a little lace to give the outfits some variety.
These colors would be gorgeous for family photos outdoors, in front of a Christmas tree, or even for those slightly more dressed-up holiday pictures.
And because I know nobody wants to spend hours searching for everyone’s clothes, I’ve rounded up the pieces in one Amazon list to make shopping a little simpler.
