Perfect Outfits For Winter Family Photos
Winter is one of the best times for a family photoshoot! Not only do you get to dress up and capture beautiful moments with your family, but you also get to capture the magic of the season.
But before you gather your family and head to the photoshoot – you need to plan outfits! Planning family photo outfits for winter is the best way to ensure you have a cohesive, balanced, and beautiful look during your portraits.
Below is a collection of gorgeous winter family photoshoot outfits to help inspire you. There are ideas featuring neutrals, colors, elevated pieces, and casual ensembles – something for everyone. Plus, I’ve got tips on how to adapt outfits for different family members, so whether your family is big or small, these seasonal outfit ideas will make getting ready an absolute breeze!
Burgundy & Brown
get the look:
Something I love about this combination of outfits is the variety of textures. While the palette is simple and seasonally appropriate, the combo of velvet, knit pieces, faux fur, denim, and leather creates a striking appeal that elevates the aesthetic.
This is also an excellent choice if you’re planning an outdoor photoshoot and live somewhere that warms up significantly throughout the day, since the extra layers on Mom and Dad can easily be removed, but the outfits will still look chic and put-together.
Black Tie
get the look:
If you’re going for stylish and sophisticated outfits for your winter family photoshoot, consider recreating the ensembles above!
A silk skirt and puffed sleeve dress paired with sleek ties and loafers are perfect for an elegant look. These elevated details are simple additions that really give the outfits a high-end feel.
This color scheme is another excellent choice for a classy aesthetic. Black and white are timeless, while the deep burgundy accents blend in perfectly for a refined look that’s ideal for wintertime.
Burgundy Silk + Cream Knits
get the look:
Wine red and pops of cream are a lovely color combo that couldn’t be a better pick for winter outfits. This is another fantastic option for an elevated look – featuring silk, knits, and leather – and I love that you don’t have to sacrifice comfort for style.
I also recommend these winter family photoshoot outfits if you need to adapt the ensembles for younger or older children. You can easily find similar pieces in larger sizes for older kids and knit onesies or two-piece sets for toddlers or infants!
Holly Berry Vibes
get the look:
If you want to incorporate classic winter hues into your winter family photoshoot outfits, this idea is perfect for you!
Green and red instantly come to mind when I think of the holiday season, and these colors are gorgeous when balanced out with tan and brown pieces. I also suggest pairing lighter and darker shades of these hues together to create more depth and interest in the outfits.
For an indoor photoshoot, keep these ensembles just as they are! However, if you plan to take pictures outside, add stylish coats for Mom and Dad and stockings underneath the skirts for little ones.
Casual Contrast
get the look:
Denim always lends a cool and casual vibe to any outfit (if you ask me), so don’t be afraid to pair classic blue jeans with cool-weather pieces for an effortless but totally chic look.
Shades of blue work seamlessly with neutral black and white while infusing the ensembles with a bit of color. Plus, the layers are perfect for dressing up the jeans while adding personal touches and versatility to each outfit.
Navy + Gold
get the look:
Next on my list of winter family photoshoot outfits is an idea that’s a must for timeless and truly elegant portraits! Navy and gold are a winning color combination that easily creates a classy aesthetic with the perfect amount of seasonal flair.
I love the matching blue suits for father and son, and this will work whether you have one boy or five in your family. The matching components for mother and daughter are lovely as well, and the addition of blue and white sweaters help tie the other outfits and whole aesthetic together.
Forest Green & Suede
get the look:
Outfits featuring a rich, earthy color scheme will be so stunning against a snowy background! I love this palette as a way for your family to stand out in a sea of white during an outdoor photoshoot. Plus, these colors have a cozy, charming vibe that’s great for a family portrait.
This is also an excellent example of how to coordinate outfits without matching. Each ensemble highlights different shades from the palette, creating a clean and cohesive aesthetic while giving everyone their own unique look.
Leather + Pops of Red
get the look:
These winter family photoshoot outfits have a perfectly balanced aesthetic. The black leather adds an element of sophistication and edginess, while the jeans and other casual pieces lend a laid-back and comfy vibe here.
I also adore the pops of red throughout, creating a unified look and adding a seasonal touch. If you have all girls, you can opt for a combination of red knit and plaid dresses, while boys can be dressed in a combo of jeans, flannels, sweaters, and leather jackets.
Camel, Fur & Cream
get the look:
Camel, beige, chestnut, sepia – the options for warm brown tones are endless, and pairing these shades together is perfect for a cozy and classy family portrait.
This is another outfit combo I would recommend wearing while in the snow. These shades will definitely pop against an ivory landscape and infuse your photos with a contrasting warmth. Not to mention that the plush layers featured above are great for staying snug during an outdoor photoshoot.
Winter Whites & Chocolate Brown
get the look:
Similar to the outfits above, the combo of chocolate browns and beiges creates a warm, inviting vibe. However, pairing these hues with ivory pieces gives the outfits a bright aesthetic ideal for an indoor photoshoot in front of a colorful Christmas tree!
I also love that this simple, beautiful palette allows you to find and pair pieces together for each family member while maintaining a cohesive look. Don’t forget the chic details, like the golden accents, brown leather shoes, and pearly accessories, to elevate these classy ensembles.
I hope you enjoyed my list of winter family photoshoot outfits and found the inspiration you need for your family portraits in 2024.
