What to Wear for Your Fall Photography Session

Fall is the perfect season for cozy layers, warm tones, and timeless portraits. Your clothing choices set the tone for your images, so here are some outfit ideas based on the photography style you’ve chosen.

🌿Light & Airy Fall Style

(Soft, dreamy, romantic — works beautifully in golden fields & pumpkin patches)

• Colors: Cream, ivory, blush, sage, soft blue, taupe, dusty rose.

• Textures: Flowing fabrics, lace, linen, lightweight knits.

• Outfits:

  • Women: Flowy midi or maxi dresses, light sweaters over dresses, soft scarves.

  • Men: Light khakis or beige chinos, soft-colored button-downs, tan sweaters.

  • Kids: Cream dresses, suspenders with light shirts, neutral sweaters.

• Accessories: Neutral hats, dainty jewelry, brown or beige boots.

• Avoid: Dark black, neon, or bold plaid — they overpower the airy feel.

🌌 Dark & Moody Fall Style

(Dramatic, bold, cinematic — stunning in woods, barns, or urban settings)

• Colors: Deep jewel tones like burgundy, emerald, navy, plum, mustard, rust.

• Textures: Corduroy, denim, leather, flannel, chunky knits.

• Outfits:

  • Women: Fitted dresses in rich tones, layered jackets, boots.

  • Men: Dark jeans, plaid shirts, henleys, layered coats.

  • Kids: Rich-toned sweaters, corduroy skirts/pants, boots.

• Accessories: Statement jewelry, wool hats, scarves.

• Avoid: Bright whites or pastels — they feel out of place in this style.

🕰️ Classic & Timeless Fall Style

(Elegant, polished — photos that will never feel “dated”)

• Colors: Neutral base tones like beige, cream, gray, navy, camel, black.

• Textures: Wool coats, knit sweaters, denim, suede boots.

• Outfits:

  • Women: Simple long dresses or skirts, trench or wool coat, heeled boots.

  • Men: Solid sweaters over collared shirts, chinos, classic blazers.

  • Kids: Neutrals with suspenders, simple dresses with tights, peacoats.

• Accessories: Minimal jewelry, leather belts, structured coats.

• Avoid: Trendy items with logos or flashy graphics.

🎉 Fun & Playful Fall Style

(Casual, energetic, lifestyle-inspired — great for families with kids)

• Colors: Warm pops of mustard, rust, teal, olive, coral, paired with neutrals.

• Textures: Flannel, denim jackets, soft knits, corduroy.

• Outfits:

  • Women: Cozy sweaters, jeans, ankle boots.

  • Men: Plaid flannels, henleys, vests.

  • Kids: Bright sweaters, corduroy jumpers, beanies, playful layers.

• Accessories: Sneakers, patterned scarves, fun props like pumpkins or blankets.

• Avoid: Everyone in the same exact outfit — go for a coordinated palette instead.

🍂 Extra Tips for All Styles

• Stick to 2–3 main colors + neutrals for a cohesive look.

• Layer smartly — jackets, cardigans, or scarves add depth and texture.

• Shoes count — boots or neutral shoes look great; avoid neon sneakers.

• Plan ahead — lay outfits side by side to check that they complement one another.

✨ Whether you choose soft light & airy vibes, rich moody tones, or a timeless fall look, the key is to wear outfits that feel like you — comfortable, confident, and stylish.
