In short: Coordinate the palette, do not match the garments. Two or three colours across the whole family, with at most one pattern. Dress the children in what they will not fight — comfort determines how long the session lasts. Layers for London weather.
Colour. Two or three colours across the whole family, chosen from what people already own. Lay everything on a bed together before the day — clashes are obvious in a pile and invisible in a wardrobe.
Fabric. Anything a child will tolerate for an hour. Stiff collars, itchy wool and new shoes end sessions early, and no styling decision survives a child who wants to go home.
Footwear. Shoes that have been worn before. New shoes plus a park equals twenty minutes of complaint.
The thing that ruins frames. Identical outfits. Matching white shirts and jeans reads as a uniform and dates the photograph to whichever decade it was taken in. Coordinate the palette, vary the garments.
