These different outfits/pieces are some ideas on what to wear for Boudoir Sessions. I highly recommend doing at least one look in black and/or white, and then having fun with colors or patterns for more looks.

TIPS FOR OUTFIT SELECTION
*BRA & PANTY SETS– These are always a must- any body type can be flattered by the right bra/panty set. Hipsters/cheeky’s are the most overall flattering panty type, and a good bra can go a long way. Be sure to bring lots of different bra & panty sets to choose from, and things that you could mix and match.
*BABYDOLLS & SLIPS– Babydolls and slips are great if you’re looking for more coverage, especially in the midsection. Fabrics like satin and lace are super feminine and flattering, and these styles look great on all body types. Chemises are another great choice for this type of look.
*BODYSUITS– Similar styles to a one-piece swimsuit, these are great if you’re looking for a little more coverage than a just a bra and undies, but still giving the same effect. They are usually form-fitting, but overall perfect for boudoir photos.
*BUSTIERS– Bustier’s are one of my personal favorite boudoir pieces. Super flattering on everyone, they cinch the waist but are designed to enhance your chest, unlike corsets that are the same idea to cinch you in- but flatten your chest in the process. “Bustier’s boost, corsets cinch”.
*COLOR CHOICES– Black or white are always a great choice for your outfits, I highly recommend incorporating both. Pastels in pinks/purples/blues, are great if you’re going for a soft and feminine look. Jewel tones photograph really well and are very flattering- like teal, purple, emerald green, dark red, etc. If you’re unsure on a color- I highly recommend any shade of blue- it photographs beautifully and looks great on all skin tones!
*PATTERNS– I love floral prints for a fun pop of color and/or print into your looks. They are super feminine and photograph beautifully. Thin stripes and other small patterns can be really nice as well. Try to avoid any prints that are too loud or geometric.
*FEMININE FABRICS– Lace, satin, and sheer fabrics are always a great choice for your boudoir photos. Choosing pieces that are comfortable make all the different in how you feel during your shoot.
*NON-TRADITIONAL LINGERIE– Flowy dresses, topless with jeans, cami/short sets, rompers, leather jacket, pj shorts and a tee, robes, tank tops- boudoir is not limited to traditional lingerie.
*ROBES & KIMONOS– I highly recommend choosing a beautiful kimono or satin/lace robe for your shoot to start out in. You can do so many different looks with them mixing and matching with your other outfits, and have a little more coverage to start. I recommend a neutral color like black or white for the most versatility.
*HIS SHIRT/JERSEY– Wearing a clothing item of your man’s is a great way to incorporate him into your session. Wearing his favorite sports jersey, his leather jacket, or one of his button-downs is a great way to do this.
*HEELS & JEWELRY– Heels are extremely flattering and sexy for your photos. I recommend a black and/or nude pair. I recommend keeping jewelry simple, wearing a special piece or a delicate necklace or earrings can really add to your photos.
*NUDE ILLUSION– You of course can show as much or as little skin as you’d like, but a great way to have what I call “nude-illusion” shots is covered in a thin white sheet. You hold it up over your bare chest, and if your legs are peeking out it gives the illusion you’re nude under the covers without showing more than you’d like.
