One of the most popular questions I hear when a client books a boudoir session is…
What should I wear?
There are so many options that the possibilities are endless. You don’t even need to go shopping to find the perfect outfit, there are many great items you can choose right out of your own closet.
Some of the best items are things you already own
A lot of ladies think that since they are going to do a boudoir session, they need to run out and buy a bunch of new lingerie. Not always true. Start by digging through your own drawers for that cute matching bra and panty set you bought a while back and forgot about. If you are like me your lingerie draw is a hot mess so you don’t always know what you already have hidden in the back.
If you are getting married soon, plan your boudoir session for after your lingerie shower so you have lots of fun new things to play dress up with 🙂
THINK VARIETY
Simple bra and panty sets to strappy complicated to put on by yourself nighties. The more variety the more photo choices you will have.
Bra tip: If you are a B or smaller find a bra that has lace around the top of the cup. It will make you look a whole size bigger in photos.
SOMETHING OF HIS
Bring something that belongs to your guy. One of his button up shirts and/or his tie. If you or your guy are sports fans wear a sports jersey with some knee high socks. You could even take it a step further and order his favorite team jersey with your name on it or the words sexy. Be creative. The more you put into it, the more he will be blown away.
THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX
Have fun with your outfit choices and jewelry. (yes, don’t forget jewelry) You can choose bright colors and even be super wild by wearing mismatched bra and panties. Wear your favorite pair of cowgirl boots and cowgirl hat or if you think your guy would love you in a nurse’s outfit – go for it! Try out something totally off the wall and fun! It can make for a fun and creative photo.
IN THE CLOSET
Look through your closet for a see through dress or top, a slouchy sweater you can pull off your shoulders, or an over sized t-shirt. Any unique or cropped tops can be cute with panties or boy shorts too.
ALL ABOUT THE GIRLS
Bustiers are a great way to create curves and enhance cleavage. If you are smaller then a C cup be sure to bring the kind of bustier that has built in cups. (usually a corset does not have cups but I have seen a few bustiers without cups too) The bustiers without can make you look flat chested and we don’t want that!
MAKE HIS FANTASY A REALITY
Trench coat with sexy high heels can be oh so mysterious. Or maybe your man loves the idea of you in his favorite football jersey or your old cheerleading uniform. Whatever his fantasy is, make it a reality For His Eyes Only
ON TREND
Bodysuits are all the rage this year and can be super sexy. If you do not already own one be sure to purchase one for your shoot.
LEGS, LEGS AND MORE LEGS
Almost every woman brings fishnets and/or thigh highs to her session. My number one suggestion is if you plan to wear them with a garter belt, buy the kind without the plastic stay ups. If you plan to not wear a garter then the plastic stay ups are a must. Oh and did I mention garters can be a sexy little add on to any panty and bra set? Yes it can!
RED IS THE NEW BLACK
Many women come to their shoot with almost all black lingerie. And while black is always a good choice, some times going bold is even more fun! So…Bring color!! The more variety the better. Red is always pretty damn hot.
MAKE A STATEMENT
Don’t forget jewelry A statement necklace can be cool for a few images and Bring a few choices in earrings and rings as well. Long necklaces make for great props and short colorful pieces can add drama.
THREE INCHES OR MORE
And most of all don’t forget to bring some killer high heels! Nude heels can go with many outfit choices. Black heels are a staple. However, anything strappy, studded or with bling is a must bring. The higher the better. Try to stay away from platform and wedges for your shoot.
