18 Christmas Outfits You’ll Love for Your Holiday Photos

Go formal

In 2023, getting all dressed up sometimes means changing from your sleeping pajamas into your daytime pajamas. Even if you have nowhere to go, you can still find an excuse to dress your family up for a fancy Christmas photoshoot and remember the parties of years past. The Makerista totally nailed it with her photos!

Coordinate with plaid

This look is oh-so-cozy. Go for a mix of plaid colors to add a little more visual interest to your family Christmas photo. The Girl in the Yellow Dress totally sleighed this look!

Include your pets

Your pets are the loves of your life, so include them in a few pics this year. Bring your little pup to the photoshoot, dress him in Christmas colors, and you’ll love how these pictures turn out. Just look at this beautiful shot from The Sweetest Thing.

Scarves

Scarves are the perfect winter accessory for keeping your neck warm while looking chic as can be. For your Christmas outfit, opt for a plaid or Christmas-colored scarf to tie the look together (no pun intended). Consider a big blanket scarf like the one The Urban Darling uses for a more casual vibe.

Christmas PJs

Who doesn’t love to stay in with a good movie and some matching jammies?! Take photos of your adorable Christmas jammies and enjoy these candid and adorable photos.

Matching outfits

If you and your family are cool enough to pull off outfits like these from Happy Grey Lucky, then go all out for your Christmas matching outfits. These twinning looks will leave you smiling for days.

Fair isle sweaters

Stay warm and look cool in fair isles sweaters for your Christmas photos. These sweaters come from knitting patterns in Northern Scotland and have been popular for over one hundred years! Classy Girls Wear Pearls nailed this look with some Hunter rainboots.

Structured coats

Pea coats are staple items when it comes to winter wear, and they look incredible in every photo. Add a structured coat to your wardrobe for your Christmas photos and sleigh the holidays.

Santa hats

Go for a super festive look by adding Santa hats to your Christmas photos. Those bright reds will pop and you won’t even have to worry about a bad hair day! Rachel Lately shows us how it’s done.

A winter wardrobe is never complete without cable knits, lush velvets, smooth satins and fresh cashmere. Play with your Christmas textures this year and choose some textures so luxurious that you’ll practically feel them through the photo paper. No Time For Style gets it.
