When it comes to Boudoir photography, your wardrobe plays a crucial role in shaping the mood, style, and overall success of your session. Whether you are doing a Boudoir photoshoot as a gift for your partner or simply to celebrate you own confidence and beauty, choosing the right outfits is essential. In this blog we will explore a variety of Boudoir outfit ideas that can help you create stunning and empowering images that are personal to you.
Lingerie and Bodysuits
Classic lingerie sets are a timeless choice for Boudoir sessions. They can show elegance, sensuality and sophistication. If you are not sure what to wear at your Boudoir session then opt for a new bra and underwear set. Something you can wear multiple times after your session. Look for something lacy or silky. Try sexy colors like black or red or fun bright colors that make you feel good. If you are worried about your stomach then try bodysuits or teddies. Make sure they accentuate your chest so your eyes are drawn to them instead of your stomach. Now a day there are a lot of options for women of all sizes so let me help you find the perfect Boudoir outfit for your session.
Fabrics for Implied Nudes
Sheer fabric or lace can add an element of mystery and the feeling of implied nude. You can use fabric, robes, bodysuits or blankets. These can be totally translucent pieces or just barely show your body. Either way you will be teasing the viewer with a glimpse of your silhouette in an artistic way. These images focus on the human body in a tasteful and empowering way. Many of my clients start off shy and by the end are asking for a few implied nude looks.
Role Play and Fantasy
Fantasy clothes can add an element of excitement and playfulness to your Boudoir session. Fantasy is different for everyone. It can be an outfit like a naughty school girl uniform or something fun from comic con. It can be something that makes you feel extra sexy and you have always wanted to do like an outdoor shower. There is a wide range of options to explore. Your Boudoir outfit should make you feel confident while still be comfortable to wear so you can move around in them.
Sporty Spice
The key to a sexy Boudoir session isn’t about what you wear but how you feel in it. So if you want to combine Boudoir and sports think about finding lingerie in your team color and maybe some cute knee high socks. You can wear an oversized jersey worn off the shoulder or hold it against your chest for a seductive yet relaxed look. Or bring something like a baseball bat you can hold across your tush or a hat you can place against your chest. When it comes to your Boudoir outfit there are no limit.
Oversized Sweaters and Button Down Shirts
What to wear at your Boudoir session is the most common question and everyone thinks it only includes lingerie but they are wrong. For a cozy and intimate vibe consider wearing an oversized sweater or a button down shirt that belongs to your partner. You can pair them with tall socks or lacy lingerie and stockings. You can add a tie or your favorite mug to the shot. There are so many options! So wear what makes you feel amazing and your photos will reflect that.
Bridal Boudoir
Bridal Boudoir is a popular choice for brides-to-be. Celebrate your special day with special touches like your veil, jewelry or shoes. Maybe even bring flowers similar to your bridal bouquet or think about what his favorite colors are or if he has a favorite team or hobby. Bridal Boudoir captures a beautiful blend of innocence and sensuality so start looking for some sexy white or ivory pieces for your session. The number of Boudoir outfits out there for brides is immense. Plus imagine the look on his eye when he sees his book and then you in that outfit.
Country
Whether its in the studio or outdoors if you love country then think about bringing at least one outfit to reflect that. A plaid flannel and lace underwear is a mix of rugged and sexy. Or short denim shorts and cowboy boots is a mix of relaxed and sensual. Cowboy hats can be used in so many sexy ways so bring that too! When it comes to country there are so many options.
Clothes and Robes
When people think of Boudoir photography they often picture silk and lace lingerie, but everyday clothes can be just as sexy. Sometimes its fun to leave it to a little imagination by doing the art of suggestion. You can pull off the effortless allure with jeans or an off the shoulder shirt. Or confident in a sexy dress or slip. Sometimes just a simple white tank top is hot! Whether you are wearing your partners shirt or workout wear, wear what makes you feel good because confidence is sexy!!!
Boots or Heels
A lot of Boudoir sessions show heels. Tall heels make your legs look longer and black and tan are the most popular option. If you don’t typically wear heels that’s fine. I am not going to make you walk in them. You can put them on once you get into position on the bed or chair to make things easier. If heels are not your thing then maybe try boots. They can be cowboy boots or sexy leather boots. I’ve even had clients bring their favorite tennis shoes and many go bare. It is your session and your vibe so bring what feels good.
Accessories
As you can see there are many options when it comes to the perfect Boudoir outfit. Personalized accessories can add an unique touch to your session. Incorporate items that hold personal significance like a favorite necklace, heirloom jewelry or a sentiment scarf. Or maybe a long necklace so your eyes are drawn towards you chest. Heck even bring your car to the session. Its all about what makes you happy and feel good.
Your Boudoir session is an opportunity to embrace your sensuality, celebrate your confidence and create stunning images that reflect your own beauty. Choosing the right Boudoir outfit is an essential part of the process. Whether you opt for classic lingerie or your fantasy outfit, the key is to select outfits that make you feel comfortable and confident. Ultimately the best Boudoir images are the ones where you feel comfortable in what makes you feel good not what others say is sexy or meant for Boudoir. So, go ahead and have fun choosing what you are going to wear. And if you can’t decide… that is fine too. Just come with whatever speaks to you and as you get your hair and makeup done I will go through what you brought to help you decide which outfit will look best and let you inner beauty shine.
