What to Wear for a Christmas-Themed Photoshoot in New York City
A Christmas-themed photoshoot in New York City is a magical experience, capturing the festive charm of iconic locations like the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree, the dazzling lights of Fifth Avenue, and the holiday decor throughout the city. To ensure your photos stand out and reflect the season's spirit, selecting the right outfits is key. Here are some expert tips on what to wear for your holiday photoshoot.
Best Colors for a Festive Look
Choosing the right colors will enhance the holiday feel of your photos and make you pop against New York’s stunning Christmas backdrops. Consider these color options:
Classic Reds & Greens: These traditional Christmas colors never go out of style and work beautifully in a holiday setting.
Jewel Tones: Deep, rich colors like emerald green, royal blue, and burgundy add an elegant touch to your look.
Winter Whites & Creams: Soft neutrals give a dreamy, timeless feel, perfect for wintery photos.
Pastel Shades: Light blues, soft pinks, and muted yellows can create a whimsical, frosty aesthetic.
Festive Color Combinations: Think red and white, green and gold, or navy and silver for a coordinated holiday appearance.
Colors to Avoid - While black is a staple in many wardrobes, it tends to blend into the background in outdoor settings, especially at night. If you're aiming for a bold and vibrant holiday look, it's best to steer clear of all-black outfits—unless a moody, editorial vibe is what you're going for.
Essential Outfit Tips
Avoid Logos & Busy Patterns: Solid colors or subtle prints photograph best and keep the focus on you.
Iron or Steam Your Clothes: Wrinkle-free clothing makes a significant difference in your final photos.
Coordinate with Others: If you’re taking photos with family or friends, ensure your outfits complement each other rather than match exactly.
Accessories to Enhance Your Look
Adding festive accessories can elevate your outfit and bring extra charm to your photoshoot:
Scarves & Hats: A cozy scarf or a stylish winter hat adds texture and warmth.
Mistletoe Prop: A fun and romantic touch for couples’ photos.
Gloves & Cozy Layers: Practical and stylish, especially for outdoor sessions.
Sunglasses: If your session is during the day, sunglasses can add a chic winter fashion vibe.
By following these tips, you’ll be dressed perfectly for a stunning and festive photoshoot in the heart of New York City. Whether posing in front of twinkling lights or standing beneath a giant Christmas tree, the right outfit will make your holiday memories even more magical!

“My husband and I booked with Anna for our first ever trip to NYC and are beyond obsessed with our pictures! First of all, communication with her was great! I showed examples of what I wanted and she completely delivered! Anna also had some of her own ideas that turned out amazing! She was so nice in real life. She was showing us around and giving us tips during the shoot. Anna was very patient with us and didn’t rush us at all! Highly Recommend!! ❤️”
