22 Family Reunion Outfit Ideas For Every Theme

Family reunions are a chance to catch up, have fun, and celebrate! You should also think about picking out a few stylish outfits to wear. Peerspace is here to help with 22 of our favorite family reunion outfit ideas. We cover classic looks, themes, and other ideas so there’s something here for everyone to work with! 

1. Have everyone wear matching colors

Here is a fun family reunion outfit idea to organize that lets everyone know you’re coordinated. Give everyone one or more matching colors to work with, like white and blue. Matching colors works even better if you have a photoshoot planned for the occasion!

2. Wear jeans with your favorite button-down shirt

Jeans and a button-down shirt are a classic pairing that adds a bit of style to a family reunion outfit idea without feeling too dressy. It’s also a simple outfit that nearly everyone already has in their wardrobe, ready to go! 

Before you start digging in your closet, think about booking your family reunion venue in advance. These venues go fast so let Peerspace introduce you to some of our best options for these events. For example, this industrial event space in Nashville, TN, is a historic restored factory that has room for dozens of family members to gather in style.

3. Pick a floral print midi or maxi dress

Add a splash of summer with a floral print midi or maxi dress! Choose one that’s loose enough to be breezy if much of the festivities will be taking place outdoors. Pair the dress with sunglasses and sandals for a lovely casual look.

4. Make it a Western themed event

Who says family reunion outfit ideas have to be serious or dressy? You can wear whatever you all agree on! So how about making it a Western themed reunion, with jeans, cowboy hats, turquoise jewelry, and plaid shirts?

Grab your cowboy hat and mosey on over to these western theme party ideas for inspiration as you plan your family reunion.

5. Wear a polo shirt and khakis for a classy yet casual look

A polo shirt and khakis combo strikes a good balance between classy and casual. It’s dressy enough for a fine restaurant, yet comfortable for hanging out in the living room with your family. Most men opt for solid color polo shirts for a family reunion, but you have some flexibility here if you’d prefer something more unique!

6. Choose a retro decade to inspire your outfit

Were the majority of family members showing up at the reunion born in a particular decade? Or maybe you’re also celebrating the birthday of a family member. Choose that year as the decade you all will dress up as! And let Peerspace share some tips with our 70s, 80s, 90s, and 2000s outfit ideas.

7. Pick neutral colors for your outfit

One easy way to create an outfit for any occasion is to choose neutral colors. Black, tan, white, and gray look good together in almost any combination of apparel! 

8. Wear a suit jacket and collared shirt for a formal occasion

If your family reunion will be a dressy occasion, then think about a classic suit jacket and collared shirt. Subdued black, blue, tan, and grey are the ideal choices since they work so well with a wide range of collared shirt colors. Don’t forget a tie, bright handkerchief, or bowtie to add an extra splash of pattern and color!

9. Go contemporary chic with a solid color jumpsuit

Women’s jumpsuits are a versatile choice that add flair and comfort while still being quite fashionable. It’s a simple one-piece outfit that only needs a few accessories like a hat, tote bag, heels, and sunglasses to complete!

10. Have some custom family reunion shirts made

Custom t-shirts not only look good but also serve as amazing keepsakes for family members to take home after the reunion. Simply have a fun slogan or memorable quote from a family member placed right on the front of each shirt!

11. Go ultra-casual with a hoodie and sweatpants

Sometimes dressing down is the point when choosing a family reunion outfit idea. Go super casual and cozy with your favorite hoodie and sweatpants. It’s a step above pajamas but just as simple to slip into!

12. Dress for the holidays with matching Christmas outfits

Family reunions are a chance to match your apparel choices. If your reunion date falls near a major holiday, like Christmas, then think about working that into the clothing theme! Pick red plaid coats, green pom-pom beanies, and other Christmas-themed clothes for the reunion celebration.

13. Keep the sun at bay with a wide brim sun hat

Will your family reunion party take place mostly outdoors? A sun hat is a great option that protects your face and shoulders if it’s wide enough. Pair it with a loose blouse or maxi dress for a carefree yet stylish summer outfit idea.

By the way, did you know that Peerspace has hundreds of outdoor event spaces perfect for your family reunion? Think about bringing your sun hat to a family reunion venue like this minimalist country-style home in Miami, FL, just a short drive away from the water!

14. Choose a monotone outfit for a minimalist look

You don’t have to mix and match colors when planning your family reunion outfit ideas. Try a single shade instead. Something striking, like red, black, or pink will catch everyone’s eye at the party! Both solid colors and patterns in your single shade are great options here.

15. Bring some swimwear to the reunion

Does your family reunion venue have a swimming pool? Then you’ll need a one-piece swimsuit, shorts, or other fashionable swimwear for the occasion! A patterned one-piece swimsuit with floral, tropical, or textile patterns is an outfit everyone will look good in when it’s time to hit the water.

16. Choose a blouse with palazzo pants

Cozy yet chic, palazzo pants are a great foundation for a stylish outfit, family reunions included! Pair these pants with a blouse in the same or a matching shade for a look that’s fashionable yet flexible enough to wear anywhere.

17. Stay warm with a loose printed sweater

Sweaters aren’t just functional in terms of warmth; they’re a valid fashion statement by themselves. Choose a loose printed sweater with a bold pattern and pair it with jeans, shorts, or khakis for an easy look.

18. Wear some punchy colors with a Hawaiian shirt

Looking for family reunion outfit ideas that are colorful, playful, and casual? There are few better options than a Hawaiian shirt. It’s comfortable and a really good fit if your reunion activities include a boat, the beach, or a destination vacation!

19. Pick your favorite skirt and blouse 

A skirt and blouse combination are another outfit you likely already have in your wardrobe. Matching shades are an option, as are contrasting colors. Neutral colors, patterns, floral print…Your choices using this simple pairing are endless.

20. Welcome spring with mauve and green

Mauve and green are a stylish color combination that are the very essence of spring. A mauve jacket and light green pants remind everyone who sees you of spring flowers, ready to bloom!

21. Embrace summer with a loose romper

Rompers are flexible choices you can easily dress up with the right accessories. Or you can keep it casual while still looking stylish. 

22. Wear denim on denim for a timeless look

Denim is a timeless look that’s easy to pull off for both men and women. That might mean a denim skirt and jacket over a white blouse, denim blue jeans and a matching button-down shirt, or something else entirely.
