Children’s Outfits

Colors

  • Classic Holiday Shades: Red, green, and gold are perfect for matching the Christmas decorations. Deep reds and hunter greens are festive and timeless.
  • Neutral Tones: White, cream, or soft beige tones add a cozy winter vibe and keep the focus on your little one’s adorable expressions.
  • Plaid: A festive plaid in red, green, or black can be the perfect playful touch to your child’s outfit.
  • Black: A black sweater or dress can add a nice contrast to the lighter tones of the set while keeping the look elegant.

Avoid:

  • Summer Colors: Bright pinks, neon shades, or anything too summery will clash with the holiday theme.
  • Logos and Cartoons: Avoid large logos, characters, or busy patterns that can distract from the festive feeling of the photos.

Accessories

  • Hair Accessories: A cute bow, headband, or festive hat can add an extra bit of holiday cheer.
  • Socks or Shoes: Consider simple shoes in darker colors or fun holiday-themed socks for the little ones who will sit on Santa’s lap.

Family Outfit Coordination

If parents are joining in the photos, it’s important to coordinate outfits so the whole family looks cohesive and polished.

Colors

  • Complimenting the Kids: Wear colors that complement your children’s outfits without being too matchy. If your child is in red, you could wear neutrals like cream or beige, or a subtle red accent in a scarf or tie.
  • Classic Neutrals: White, cream, and black are always safe choices to pair with the more festive tones.
  • Holiday Plaid: If your child is wearing plaid, a coordinating solid color like red or green for the parents can create a harmonious look without overdoing the pattern.

What to Avoid

  • Overly Casual: Opt for something a bit dressier than your everyday look to capture the spirit of the occasion.
  • Clashing Patterns: If the kids are in patterns, avoid wearing competing patterns or loud prints.
