Cream sweater and dark jeans
A chunky cream cable knit with dark jeans anchors many family photo palettes: the texture shows on camera and cream flatters nearly every skin tone. It works for anyone in the family.

Outfits in family pictures work best when they coordinate rather than match. Choose a palette of three or four colors, say cream, denim blue and a warm rust, and dress everyone in different pieces from it. Identical white shirts and jeans flatten a group into a block; a shared palette ties it together and still lets each person look like themselves.
Solid colors and texture photograph better than prints: a cable knit, chambray or a soft dress fabric adds depth without pulling the eye. Avoid logos, large lettering and neon, and keep small, busy patterns like fine stripes or tiny checks out of the picture, because cameras can turn them into a flickering moiré.
Let the setting choose the palette: earthy neutrals and rust for a field or a forest in autumn, soft blues and whites for a beach, deeper colors for a studio backdrop. And pick shoes that work on the ground you will stand on.
Family picture outfits to try on
Four looks in a soft, coordinating palette that photographs well indoors and out. Try them on before the shoot.
Chambray shirt and khakis
A chambray shirt with rolled sleeves and khaki chinos is relaxed but neat, and its soft blue sits well beside cream, rust and denim. Suede desert boots suit an outdoor shoot.

Flowy maxi dress
A flowy rust maxi dress moves nicely in outdoor pictures and brings the accent color to a neutral palette. Its floral print is small and soft enough not to take over the photo.

Sweater dress and boots
An oatmeal ribbed sweater dress with cognac knee-high boots is warm and textured for an autumn or winter session, and it photographs well standing or sitting on the ground.

Step 1 / 2
Take a full-body photo
Stand back so your whole body is in the frame, head to toe, facing the camera. A mirror selfie or a photo someone takes of you both work. Fitted clothes and even light work best.

FAQ
What colors are best for family pictures?
Two or three neutrals, such as cream, tan or denim, plus one or two muted accent colors. Muted tones flatter most skin tones and age well; neon and very saturated colors cast color onto faces.
Should everyone match in family photos?
Coordinate instead: dress everyone from the same small palette, but in different pieces. Matching outfits look dated and make it hard to tell people apart.
What should you not wear for family pictures?
Logos, large text, neon colors and small busy patterns, which can shimmer on camera. Wrinkles and poor fit show too, so iron and try everything on the day before.
