XP: Dress MH for a family photo

[valie]

XP from Parenting:

Oh please wise ones, please help me dress MH. We are doing an extended family photo shoot for my parent's anniversary and I am having the worst time trying to come up with what MH should wear. DD's dress inspired the colour scheme. My Mom added "steel blue" to it.

This is what my littles and I will be wearing.

Help!

Oh, MH is a dark blonde a little to the red side and has blue eyes.

I will take all the help I can get!

Grey isn't "allowed", but maybe khaki or "steel blue" (whenever I figure out what that is)?

[dizzycooks]

I'd put him in a pattern of sown variety depending on how much you want him to stand out

Id do khaki then.

Absolutely.

I'd do a small pattern of some variety. To match your dress or dds dress With khakis. Although if he's a redhead I might stay away from the coral color on second thought.
Jcrew carries lots of nice stuff in various patterns.

I would probably do a solid color button up that matches a color in your daughters dress and jeans.

I second picking another color from your daughter's dress - the coral or the yellow? I kind of like the idea of a pattern since you and DS are both in solids.

I don't know what your hubs should wear but that dress is gorgeous.
