What to wear... Fall Edition

For fall family photos with a focus on jewel tones, you'll want to create a warm and harmonious color palette that complements the autumn backdrop. Here are some clothing suggestions for different family members:

1. Adults:

• Women: A deep emerald green dress, a burgundy blouse paired with dark jeans, or a rich sapphire blue sweater with a skirt. Add accessories like statement earrings or a pendant necklace that incorporate jewel tones.
• Men: A royal blue button-down shirt with khaki trousers, a deep purple sweater with gray slacks, or a burgundy shirt with dark jeans.

2. Kids:

• Girls: A deep ruby red dress, a forest green skirt with a golden yellow sweater, or a sapphire blue tunic with leggings.
• Boys: A navy blue sweater with brown corduroy pants, a deep green button-down shirt with khaki shorts, or a maroon sweater with dark jeans.

3. Coordinating Patterns and Accessories:

• Consider patterns like tartan, or geometric prints that incorporate jewel tones.
• Accessories like scarves, headbands, or ties in rich colors can add a pop of color without overwhelming the outfit.
• You can also use neutral colors like beige, cream, or gray as a base to complement the jewel tones and create a balanced look.

4. Textures:

• Fall is a great time to experiment with textures. Consider fabrics like tweed, corduroy, wool, and knitwear to add depth and visual interest to your outfits.

5. Layering:

• Layering can add dimension to the outfits while also keeping everyone warm. For instance, a cardigan or a light jacket in a jewel tone can work as a great layering piece.

6. Footwear:

• Boots in earthy tones like brown or deep green can be a stylish and functional choice for fall photos.

Things to avoid:

1.Black shirts or accessories- They lose detail in photos

2. Neon- its great for an 80s shoot but not family shoots

3. Don't all be matchy matchy

Remember that coordination is key. Aim for a harmonious blend of jewel tones within your family's outfits, and be sure to consider the location and backdrop of your photos to ensure everything comes together beautifully.
