STYLING TIPS FOR CUTE FAMILY PICTURES AT THE BEACH

We all love getting family pictures clicked, isn't it? What most of us don't like is going through the fuss of coordinating the outfits for the entire family. It can always be an uphill task with varied tastes and likings, let alone coordinating the outfits for a day at the beach. 

 

While keeping everyone’s choice and comfort in mind is important to get that perfect emotion, captured in the image, being mindful of the natural setting of the beach is also important. Sounds all the more herculean a task, right? But why fear when we’re here! 

 

Here are five ideas for cute family beach outfits that would guarantee great family pictures:

1. White and Bright

A white outfit against the serene blues and greens of the beach will help you tie up the entire scenery into your picture. Whites work well in natural settings as the outfits stand out against the background and add extra light bringing the focus on the subject being photographed, that is, you and your family. 

 

Minimalistic yet very classy, white balances the colours of the sea, sky and sand. Pick silhouettes like cotton that are soft and flowy to ensure maximum style and comfort. 

  

Styling tip: Choose flowy Kaftans, cotton shirts with white-on-white block prints for both adults and kids. These can be paired with light coloured bottoms to maintain the theme. Accessorize these outfits with bright pieces of jewelry or a handbag to add a pop of colour to the matching beach outfits for your family.

2. Blue to the rescue

Blue, like white, is also a colour that complements the setting of a beach. Whether you pick an indigo dress or a blue shirt, this colour is sure to add more personality to your family beach pictures. 

 

Softer pieces of denim are also a good choice. Think denim skirts, shorts or wide-legged culottes paired with t-shirts or tops of the colour of your choice for a coordinated family picture at the beach.

  

Styling tip: Add earthiness to the ensemble with a headband or a cloth belt in brown, olive green or mustard. The men can pick hats or caps in similar colours to complement the look.  

3. Go Pastel

Imagine you are under the bright blue sky, a cool breeze is blowing through your hair, you are feeling light and comfortable in a beautiful pale yellow shirt or a beautiful baby pink dress alongside your family, isn't that a thought to behold? 

 

Pastels have a chilled out vibe that goes extremely well with the feel of the beach and is sure to bring out the same in your family beach pictures. 

 

Let the personalities of each one of the family members shine through while maintaining consistency in everyone's attires. 

  

Styling Tip: Add a floral scarf or a sarong to amp up the style quotient of your pastel outfit. The men can opt for printed shorts in muted colours to go with their pastel shirts and vice versa.

4. All Black

Nothing speaks class and style like a black outfit. It's the colour that suits most skin tones and brings out your features to be captured nicely in a family beach picture. 

 

You can put a slightly formal spin to the casual beach outfit by opting for a black knit dress or a cotton dress. 

  

To keep the look summery and light, think short sleeves and lengths, lighter colours like khaki or nude brown for the shorts/pants. Adding hay hats will get the perfect beachwear to look for the family.

 

Styling tip: Adding a pop of colour to black is super easy, pick a colourful headband or a sling bag, a scarf or even a beaded necklace and you are ready to rock your look for the family pictures at the beach.

5. Bold and Beautiful

Striking colours like sunshine yellow, teal, tangerine and bright pink let you make a bold statement. They scream sunshine, joy and fun while working very well outdoors. 

 

Coordinate the family outfits in alternating colours like tangerine and pink or yellow and teal for the men and women respectively, to add vibrance to the family photograph. 

  

Styling tip: When picking these bold colours, refrain from neons and busy patterns to keep the look clean yet cheerful. pair these with classic earthy colours. 

6. Go Big on prints

Nothing screams fun like all coordinated, printed clothes for the family. You can choose bright prints that go well with all age groups and complement their individual style. 

 

Pick kaftans for the little girls and breezy shirts for the boys, a fun jumpsuit for the women and a quirky shirt for the men, all rounding off with each other. 

 

Styling tip: Keep the accessories minimalistic to ensure that the complete look is balanced.  

  

A picture with the family at the beach is a perfect setting for capturing the essence of togetherness. Pick from these ideas to add more fun to the experience and create memories that would last a lifetime.
