As a lifestyle photographer, fall is one of the most magical times of the year to capture beautiful, timeless photos. From vibrant foliage to cozy vibes, it’s the perfect backdrop for creating memories that last a lifetime. One way to make your photos pop is by choosing outfits that complement the season’s rich hues. That’s why I’m excited to share outfit ideas using one of my favorite palettes: Crisp & Cozy. This mix of soft creams, warm oranges, mustard yellows, and deep teals creates a balanced, inviting look that’s perfect for fall family sessions, couple shoots, or solo portraits. Below, you’ll find my top clothing picks for women, men, and kids to help you put together fall outfits that capture the beauty of the season.

**Please note, many items come in a range of colors that complement this palette! Choose the shade that best coordinates with your group’s color scheme for a cohesive look.

Women’s Clothing: Cozy & Chic Fall Outfits

The Cozy Sweater & Cardigan Combo:

Nothing says fall like a chunky knit sweater! For the Crisp & Cozy palette, I suggest choosing sweaters in soft creams or deep teals and layering them with long cardigans in complementary shades like mustard yellow or burnt orange. This look is perfect for capturing that quintessential autumn feel! Also, I always recommend incorporating a few neutral pieces throughout the coordinated outfits to balance and harmonize the pops of color, creating a cohesive and polished look.

Casual Tip: Pair your sweater with jeans or leggings and some ankle boots for comfy, polished fall outfits.

Fall Dresses:

For those looking to add a bit of elegance, fall dresses in deep teal or warm orange can be a great choice. The key to creating a cohesive look is to pick a style with texture and flow, which adds movement to your photos. A long dress paired with a cozy scarf or layered with a cardigan can make your outfit really stand out against the fall backdrop.

Dressing Up Tip: A flowy, burnt orange dress paired with neutral boots creates a romantic autumn look.
