The outfits in your photos perfectly blend a classic winter aesthetic with comfort. Here’s a breakdown of what makes these looks work so well:
1. The Colour Palette
The key to these outfits is the use of warm neutrals that complement the cool, snowy background.
Soft Greys and Creams: The first outfit pairs a light grey sweater with cream or beige pants. Gold tones are another great option for this vibe! This bright, monochromatic look is soft and clean, creating a beautiful contrast against the darker forest backdrop.
Warm Browns and Blacks: The second outfit uses a rich, dark palette. A black coat and a dark brown shirt create a cozy, grounded feel that adds depth and sophistication.
Christmas Tones: Really want a more traditional colour palate. I get it! While this set really leans best to a more neutral colour and Christmas vibe, if you really want a more colourful option, rich crimson reds, burgundies and dark forest greens will pair well for dresses or shirts with a beige/khaki pant on bottom. The keys is to steer clear of busy and bright patterns/colours and stick to solids for this setup to keep focus on what is most important, your kiddo(s) and Family!
Tip: Stick to a maximum of 2-3 colours per outfit, pulling from our ideal neutral palette of warm browns, greys, creams, golds and blacks for a cohesive and timeless look.
2. Layering is Key
The second outfit in particular shows the power of layering for both warmth and visual interest.
Start with a simple, solid-coloured shirt or sweater as a base.
Add a warm top layer like a stylish black wool coat, as seen in the photo.
Layering also allows for versatility—you can capture photos with and without the outer layer to get a variety of shots.
3. Focus on Texture
Texture adds a tactile, cozy quality that really comes to life in photos.
The chunky knit scarf in the second outfit is a fantastic example. Its thick, ribbed texture adds immediate visual interest and a sense of warmth.
Consider incorporating other textures like chunky knit sweaters, ribbed corduroy pants, or even a faux fur vest to make your photos feel even more inviting.
4. Smart Accessories
Accessories are a great way to complete the look without being distracting.
The oversized knit scarf is the star accessory in your photos, serving as a stylish and practical element.
Other great accessories to consider include simple beanies, gloves, or warm socks peeking out of boots. These items tie the outfit together and reinforce the cozy winter theme.
5. Comfortable Footwear
Choose footwear that is both practical and stylish. The brown boots in the first outfit are a great example. They are a classic choice that looks great and is suitable for walking on uneven or snowy ground.
