Scroll away to discover how to blend the spirit of fall into your family’s clothes and match it with filters and lighting that recreate the wonderful mood of this bright season in this 15 carefully picked inspiration guide that’ll cover the following:
Tips that align with Nature’s Colour Palette
Step into the world of autumn’s beauty and style ideas! You’ve come to the correct place if you’re on the lookout for clothing ideas that reflect this season well. We’ll walk you through straightforward but stunning outfit options that mimic the warm tones of autumn foliage.
- Autumn is known for its warm and earthy color palette. Consider dressing your family in hues like mustard yellow, burnt orange, deep reds, olive greens, and rich browns. These tones harmonize beautifully with the fall landscape, providing a visually appealing aesthetic; perfect for the season!
- Layering isn’t just practical for cooler weather and adds dimension and visual interest to your outfits. Think cardigans, scarves, vests, and jackets. Mix textures like knits, tweeds, and denim.
- Opt for coordinated color schemes instead. Choose some base colors and mix them across the family’s clothing choices. This helps in creating a unified appearance without everyone looking identical.
- Select attire that complements the chosen location for your photoshoot. For instance, if you’re surrounded by vibrant fall foliage, neutrals or warm tones can make your family stand out against the backdrop. If the shoot is in an urban setting, slightly more formal or chic attire might suit the environment.
- While looking stylish is essential, ensure that everyone feels comfortable in their outfits. This is especially crucial for children who might get fussy in restrictive clothing. Comfortable footwear is also necessary, especially if your photoshoot involves walking or being outdoors.
- Accessories can elevate any outfit. Hats, scarves, statement jewelry, or even props like umbrellas or seasonal items (pumpkins, fallen leaves, etc.) can add a touch of whimsy to your photos.
- While trendy items can add a contemporary touch, relying too heavily on them might make your photos feel dated in the future. Mix timeless staples with a few trendy accents or textures for a balanced, enduring look.
