There Are Three Things To Keep In Mind

Neutrals and earthy tones are always the best way to go, but that doesn’t mean you should only wear grays and browns. Or beige all around! I would suggest staying away from very bright solid colors or neons, and instead go for more subtle, “fall-like” alternatives.

​

For example, instead of:

​

red – go with burgundy or red wine color

yellow – go with a mustard 

blue – go with navy 

green – go with olive or army green

If your photo session is set in a location with a lot of textures and shapes, it's best to opt for a minimalistic outfit to ensure you stand out. In a more minimalistic setting, you can afford to wear something with more pattern. Subtle, small patterns are usually the most effective, as they won't overpower the image or the camera.

 

Additionally, try to use colors that complement the environment to ensure the patterns blend well rather than compete. Avoid wearing shirts with large logos or prints, as they can be distracting and detract from the overall emotion of the photo.

The rule about jeans: Don't let everyone wear jeans. This helps to avoid the "Wave of Blue" at the bottom of your photos. Maybe only one or two people if you have a group of 5-7.

It's best to pick 2 primary colors and 3 neutral colors!

Choose your clothing colors based on the season. For example, opt for warm, rich tones in fall and winter, and lighter, brighter hues in spring and summer. This will help your outfit complement the natural colors of the season and enhance the overall look of your photos.
