And here we are! We are getting close to my favorite holiday season.
Today, I decided to share merry and bright Christmas outfit ideas for couples.
But this won’t just be outfit ideas; it will also be very helpful if you are planning any type of Christmas photoshoot with your partner.
I love everything about Christmas. But I love photography as well.
So, in this article, you will find some Christmas outfits for couples, and you will also discover some tips to plan the best Christmas photoshoot.
1. Male: solid sweater + female: printed Christmas sweater
Before you start thinking about couple Christmas photoshoot outfits, first think about the backdrop.
Are you going to a studio or just want to take cozy pictures at home?
This outfit combination will work for both of them.
To get that type of picture, your partner should wear a white sweater and you can go as far as you can.
Like, wear some fun, printed socks, leggings, or a sweater, but don’t wear them all together. You are gonna create a mess in the picture that way.
Wear one or a maximum of two printed pieces in a whole outfit.
By the way, this is a very cute pose you can try with your partner for a Christmas photoshoot.
It makes the picture look very cozy, happy, and festive. That’s all you need to get in your Christmas pictures.
2. Male: everything black + female: green clothes
If you are looking for dressy couples’ Christmas outfits, this is the first one you can try.
First, let me tell you about outfits.
So your partner should wear everything black and you should wear something green. It can be anything.
But if you are aiming to dress in Christmas outfits, it’s a better idea to go for a dress. It’s just easier to do.
However, if you prefer a more casual look, you can wear a green chunky sweater or cardigan to complement your partner’s outfit.
This is a color combination that looks very simple and elegant. So the background can be as busy as you wish.
It’s perfect for Christmas Eve as well.
But if you are looking for more ideas about Christmas Eve dinner outfits, here is my article about it.
Here is a tip to remember – when you are planning to wear clothes with prints that look very busy and gaudy, you should make your photo backdrop very simple.
But if you are wearing something very polished and elegant, you can take pictures in front of a very busy background.
Did you get it? – hope you did.
3. Male: suit set + female: classy dress
For the next dressy couples’ Christmas outfits, your partner can wear a suit set in any color. Blazers and pants can be in plaid print as well.
In this case, you must wear something solid to make the picture look sophisticated.
4. Ugly Christmas sweaters
Christmas is nothing without ugly Christmas sweaters.
I know you already knew or at least thought about that idea but I still couldn’t miss the idea.
Wearing ugly Christmas sweaters is the best option to make matching Christmas outfits for couples very quickly and easily.
But here is my tip you can think about while you are searching for your Christmas outfit idea.
There are some common Christmas themes we (people) use for the holiday season.
Even in the photo studios, they are creating the photo scene depending on the theme.
So, if you decide to go for ugly Christmas sweaters think about the Christmas decorations – what is the theme for the studio or your home?
That way you are gonna find some sweaters with matching colors to your decorations and the Christmas tree.
Let me give you an example: this year I decided to decorate my tree and house with pastel color decorations.
So, if I plan to take pictures with my Christmas tree, I would choose one of the pastel colors that match my Christmas ornaments.
Another example: you should wear a white or red dress or sweater if you are taking pictures in front of a candy cane Christmas tree.
Hope you understand!
5. Male: black and white + female: red
When you want to create matching couple outfits for Christmas, you don’t need to copy colors, prints, and everything from your partner.
You can go with a more unique way.
In this specific outfit idea, your partner should wear a solid white shirt with a tie, and suit pants.
You can wear a red dress if you want to make brighter memories with your Christmas pictures.

Christmas is everything about cozy, comfortable, and relaxing vibes.
Sweatpants and sweatshirts are the coziest things that you can wear for couples’ Christmas photo outfits.
If you need help choosing colors, pay attention to the background. Choose one or two colors from the set and get your sweat set in those colors.
9. Male: plaid shirt + female: white
Another unforgettable thing for Christmas outfits is a black and red plaid print.
If your partner wears something in that plaid print, it’s better if you wear a cute white dress.
By the way, this is one of the best Christmas outfit ideas for couples you can choose if everything is decorated in white and red colors.
