Holiday Style Guide: Comfy Chic

If you’ve ever stared at your closet wondering how to strike the balance between elegant and effortless…you’re not alone! The good news? Looking polished doesn’t have to mean feeling stiff. With the right textures, tones, and silhouettes, you can feel cozy and look camera-ready. Keep reading for our top tips to achieve this look!

01. Textures are the unsung hero of holiday photos: velvet, satin, ribbed knits, or faux fur add depth without taking over. Textures are what make a simple sweater feel like a statement, and a sneaker feel elevated.

02. Choose a bold accent piece. Think…a fun earring, a velvet bow, a well-chosen watch, or a chic pair of boots. One standout accessory keeps your look elevated without competing with the rest of your outfit (or your family’s). Pick something that feels like “you,” but holiday-edition.

03. Choose an intentional color palette. Gone are the days of everyone in matching sweaters. Instead, choose a cohesive palette and let each person express their style within it. The result? A gallery that feels elevated, effortless, and visually harmonious.

Whether you’re thinking classic chic, a playful pajama vibe, or a mix of both (like this gorgeous couple + their pup), we love helping families pull together outfits that photograph beautifully. Bring your cozy favorites, and we’ll help you style them into portraits that are timeless, magazine-inspired, and 100% you.
