So, you’ve booked your boudoir session—yay! Now comes one of the most fun (and maybe a little overwhelming) parts: choosing your outfits. The right lingerie can make all the difference in how you feel during your session. But don’t worry, I’ve got you covered! Here’s my guide to help you find the perfect pieces that will make you look and feel amazing.
1. Focus on What Makes You Feel Confident
The number one rule for boudoir outfits? Confidence is key. Whether it’s a lacy bodysuit, a silky robe, or even a simple bra and panty set, pick pieces that make you feel good in your skin. It’s not about following trends or wearing what you think you’re “supposed” to—it’s about wearing what makes you feel unstoppable.
2. Choose Pieces That Flatter Your Shape
Every body is different, and the great thing about lingerie is that there’s something for everyone. Here are a few tips based on fit:
- For curves: High-waisted panties and bodysuits work wonders, highlighting your waist while providing support and coverage.
- For petite frames: Two-piece sets or pieces with details like ruffles, lace, or patterns can add dimension.
- For long torsos: Bodysuits with plunging necklines or strappy details help create balance and draw attention.
- For fuller busts: Pick lingerie with underwire or structured support to enhance and lift.
No matter your shape, the key is finding something that fits well and feels comfortable.
3. Don’t Be Afraid to Step Outside the Box
Lingerie isn’t your only option! Bring variety to your session with pieces like:
- Oversized sweaters for a cozy, playful vibe.
- Button-up shirts (your partner’s shirt works too!) for a flirty, personal touch.
- A silky slip dress or robe for a classic, elegant look.
- Statement accessories like stockings, garters, or heels to elevate any outfit.
Remember, mixing textures and layers can add depth to your photos and give you more looks to play with.
4. Stick to Colors That Complement Your Skin Tone
Certain colors can make your skin glow in photos. Classic black and white are timeless and flattering on everyone. Jewel tones like emerald green, ruby red, and deep blue are also stunning choices. If you’re unsure, bring a mix of colors and let’s try them out during your session.
5. Bring Options
One outfit is great, but bringing a few options is even better. Having a variety gives us flexibility to try different looks and vibes during your shoot. I usually recommend bringing 3–5 pieces, including at least one that’s more daring and one that’s soft and romantic.
6. Keep Comfort in Mind
While it’s tempting to go all-out with intricate pieces, remember that you’ll want to feel comfortable during the shoot. If something is too tight, scratchy, or complicated to put on, it might add unnecessary stress. Choose pieces that fit well and let you move freely.
7. Don’t Forget the Details
The little things matter, too! Make sure to bring:
- Nude and black seamless underwear for layering under sheer pieces.
- Shoes that match your outfits—heels, boots, or even barefoot can change the vibe.
- Accessories like jewelry can add personality to your photos.
- A strapless bra (if needed)
8. Try It All on Beforehand
Take some time to try on your outfits before your session. This will help you check for fit, comfort, and any adjustments needed. Plus, seeing yourself in the pieces will get you excited and help build your confidence!
