Planning your boudoir photo shoot and feeling unsure about what to wear? Don’t stress—it’s all about picking outfits that make you feel confident and gorgeous. Whether it’s your first boudoir session or your third, the key is to start with something you feel comfortable in and work your way up to those daring pieces. Let’s dive into some outfit ideas that will make your boudoir session unforgettable!
Start with an Icebreaker Outfit
It’s completely normal to feel nervous at the beginning of your shoot. That’s why I always recommend starting with an “icebreaker outfit”—something a little more covered and less revealing. This could be a cozy bodysuit, a tank top with cheeky undies, or even a cute oversized sweater.
Starting simple helps ease you into the session, and before you know it, you’ll be feeling like a total goddess. By the time you’re on your second outfit, you’ll be dancing around and owning the camera like a pro!
Lace: The Timeless Classic
You can never go wrong with lace. It’s elegant, sexy, and flatters everyone. Lace bodysuits, especially long-sleeved ones, are a personal favorite of mine—they’re great for covering arms if you’re self-conscious while adding a touch of sophistication.
Whether you prefer a plunging neckline or something a bit more modest, lace always photographs beautifully. The delicate texture adds depth to your photos and gives you that effortlessly classy vibe.
Bodysuits: Flattering and Versatile
If you’re looking for something that hugs your curves just right, bodysuits are a fantastic choice. They come in all styles, from full-coverage rompers to high-cut, curve-accentuating designs.
For anyone worried about a “mom tummy,” a romper-style bodysuit can provide extra coverage while still looking sexy. If you’re feeling bold, opt for a higher cut to show off those stunning legs and hips.
Bra and Panty Sets: A Boudoir Staple
A matching bra and panty set is a boudoir classic—and for good reason! A well-fitted bra gives your girls the support they deserve, creating gorgeous cleavage that will shine in photos. Pair it with matching panties for a cohesive, polished look.
Embroidery or intricate details on the set can add an extra layer of elegance. And if you’re worried about areas like your tummy, don’t fret! I’ll guide you into poses that highlight your favorite features and downplay anything you’re less confident about.
Add Some Spice with 3-Piece Sets
Want to take your look up a notch? Add a garter belt to your bra and panty set! This creates a sultry, layered look that’s perfect for photos.
Garter belts are great for accentuating your waist and adding a bit of structure to your outfit. Just make sure it fits comfortably—go up a size if needed to avoid any squeezing or bulging.
What Not to Wear
Not every outfit works well for a boudoir photo shoot. Some items that seem sexy in theory don’t translate as well on camera.
Corsets
While they might seem like a good idea, corsets can be stiff and hard to pose in. They often push everything into unnatural shapes, which can make the final photos less flattering. If you love the corset vibe, consider a waist cincher paired with a supportive bra instead.
Babydolls
Babydolls look cute in the bedroom, but in photos, they can make you appear larger than you are. The loose, flowy fabric doesn’t define your waistline and can hide your natural curves. Instead, opt for a bodysuit or fitted lingerie that highlights your shape.
Go Bold with Implied Nudity
For those feeling adventurous, implied nudity can create some of the most stunning and intimate boudoir images. A simple bed sheet or your bare skin covered strategically with hands or props can result in breathtaking, artistic photos.
Implied nudity is all about leaving something to the imagination while embracing your natural beauty. It’s perfect for anyone who wants to take their boudoir session to the next level.
Body Jewelry: A Unique Touch
If you’re looking for a truly unique boudoir photo shoot idea, consider body jewelry. These stunning pieces add a high-fashion vibe and a touch of sparkle to your photos.
The cool metal might feel a little shocking at first, but trust me—it’s worth it. Some of my favorite boudoir shots feature body jewelry paired with a simple bra or nothing at all.
Trust the Process
No matter what you choose to wear, the most important thing is that you feel confident and comfortable. I’m here to guide you every step of the way, from outfit selection to posing tips. Many clients start their session nervous, but by the end, they’re walking around the studio in just a sheet, feeling fabulous!
