1. Avoid Patterns
Solid colors will draw the eye to your face instead of your clothing. Plus, you never know when a pattern will go out of style!
2. Choose a Color Scheme
For me, I love rich jewel tones. So I chose this color scheme to coordinate outfits. You want a scheme that allows every person in the family to focus on a different color.
3. Each person pick a different color from the pattern
Since we had 5 people in our family photo, we needed at least 5 different pops of color from the pattern. In this case, we had magenta, olive, navy, burgundy, and burnt orange.
Here is my most recent family photo. You'll notice nobody is wearing a pattern, and even though we are still wearing denim, grey, or black in our outfits, each of us is wearing a pop of color from the scheme. My mother in law is wearing magenta, Walt is wearing olive green, Bauer is wearing burnt orange, Matt is wearing blue, and I'm wearing burgundy. It works! We don't look at the photo and think, "Oh, everyone is matching."

Coordinating outfits without matching is such a smart approach, and your family photo proves how well it works. Using solid colors and a clear scheme makes each person stand out while still keeping the look cohesive. It reminds me of how in research, balance and structure are key to achieving strong results. That’s where journal publication assistance becomes so valuable, helping researchers bring harmony to their work through editing, formatting, and submission support. Just like with styling, the right guidance makes all the difference.
Love these tips! Coordinating outfits without being too matchy is such an art—it’s all about balance and personal style. Funny enough, the same idea applies to academics. When seeking writing support, balance is key too—reading reviews for help with dissertation services helps students find the right fit without compromising originality.
