Tips for Coordinating Family Outfits
- Choose a Theme or Color Palette: Start by picking a theme or color palette that ties everyone’s outfits together. This could be a specific color, pattern, or even a holiday theme like Christmas or Easter.
- Navigating Websites: Especially for Old Navy, if they don’t have a “Matching Family” button or option, then look at the name of the color and/or pattern. Add it to the search bar, and you should be able to find different items of clothing for the whole family. Essentially, Old Navy is known for using the same colors and fabrics for men, women, and kids’ clothing. This also works for most large clothing retail stores like J.Crew, Gap, etc.
- Mix and Match: Don’t be afraid to mix patterns and textures while staying within your chosen theme. For example, pair a striped shirt with solid pants or a floral dress with a complementary jacket.
- Consider Comfort: Ensure that everyone feels comfortable in their outfits, especially children. Opt for soft fabrics and outfits that allow for movement and play.
- Accessorize Wisely: Accessories like scarves, hats, or coordinating shoes can add an extra touch of cohesion to your family’s look without being too matchy-matchy.
- Plan Ahead: If you’re planning to take family photos, plan outfits well in advance to avoid any last-minute stress. This way, you can also make sure everyone’s outfits are clean and ready to go, especially during the holidays and around the fall (when most families will be taking family photos), you will want to purchase your outfits early.
- Have Fun with It!: Matching outfits should be fun, so enjoy the process of picking out outfits together as a family. Let everyone have a say in their own style while keeping the overall look cohesive.
Why Matching Outfits?
Matching family outfits not only look adorable but also create a sense of unity and togetherness. Whether you’re attending a family reunion, celebrating a holiday, or simply capturing everyday moments, coordinated outfits add an extra special touch to the occasion. I also appreciate the added layer of security because when we’re out as a family, it’s easy to spot a lost child and quickly describe what they are wearing.
So, whether you’re browsing online or visiting stores, keep these tips in mind to find the perfect matching outfits for your family. With a little creativity and planning, you’ll have everyone looking picture-perfect in no time! I hope you find these tips and store recommendations helpful in your quest for the perfect family outfits. Share your favorite matching outfit moments with me—I’d love to see how your family rocks coordinated style!
Until next time,
