Meadow Photoshoot Outfit Ideas for Women and Men
A meadow opens a portrait to wide sky, tall grass, and wildflowers moving in the breeze.
Colors drawn from the field and fabrics that float and breathe make you part of that scene, so every frame feels easy and alive.
Read on for a simple way to combine your colors, then outfit ideas for women and men that are easy to walk and move in.
Color palettes Borrowed from the Field
A meadow offers three sources of color: the grass, the sunlight, and the flowers.
One shade from each makes a balanced look. The photo below shows one combination, so choose your own shades as long as each source is represented
- Grass tone: olive, fern green, or khaki. These shades come straight from the field, so the whole look feels at home among the tall grass.
- Bloom tone: lavender, dusty rose, or cornflower blue. They pick up the colors of the wildflowers around you and add a soft, romantic touch.
- Sun tone: warm gold, honey, or apricot. They carry the glow of golden light and bring warmth to your skin and to the frame.
Meadow Style Ideas for Women
A meadow rewards soft fabrics and an easy stride, and three ideas cover the look for women. Each one moves with the breeze and feels comfortable among tall grass and flowers.
- Breezy cotton dress. Soft cotton or gauze in a maxi or midi length catches the wind with every step through the grass. The dress works best in the sun or bloom tone of her color combination.
- Denim jacket or light cardigan. A relaxed layer adds texture and a cozy, effortless feel, and it brings warmth when the evening air cools. Either one sits well in the grass tone of her combination.
- Flat shoes or bare feet. Ballet flats, ankle boots, or casual sandals keep the walk easy, and barefoot frames suit soft, clear patches of grass.
Meadow Style Ideas for Men
Men can put together a meadow look with three easy pieces. Each one breathes in the open air and sits naturally among the grass.
- Chambray or cotton shirt. A light, breathable shirt with the sleeves rolled up keeps him comfortable and adds texture to the frame. It suits the sun or bloom tone of his color combination, with a knit vest or light jacket on top when the evening cools.
- Well-fitted jeans or trousers. Jeans in a dark wash, or trousers in the grass tone, give a timeless, laid-back base that blends with the field.
- Casual sneakers or loafers. Comfortable shoes in a neutral shade handle uneven ground and keep the attention on the landscape.
