What to Wear to Your Boudoir Session
One of the most exciting parts of preparing for your boudoir session is choosing what to wear. Your session is all about celebrating you—your confidence, your style, and your unique beauty. The level of undress is entirely up to you. Whether you choose to go fully nude, wear a sultry lace bodysuit, or prefer something more modest, what matters most is that you feel confident, comfortable, and ready to let your inner sensuality shine.
To make the process even easier, we provide access to our client closet, which is stocked with over 400 items in sizes ranging from 00 to 30. From stunning lingerie and glamorous vintage-inspired robes to shoes (sizes 6-10) and accessories, we’ve got you covered.
Tips for Choosing Your Boudoir Wardrobe
1. Stay True to Yourself
Choose outfits that reflect your personality and style. If lace and straps don’t resonate with you, don’t feel pressured to wear them. Pick something that feels authentic to who you are.
2. Comfort is Key
Wear something that you feel comfortable and confident in. We recommend going through your wardrobe first to see if you already own pieces you love. If you decide to purchase something new, take the time to try it on at home—make sure it’s flattering, allows you to move comfortably, and makes you feel amazing.
3. Know Your Body Type
Take time to find styles that highlight your favorite features. All bodies are unique and beautiful, and the right fit can make all the difference. If you’re unsure, consider visiting a lingerie store to explore options in person. Confidence is key, and when you feel good in your outfit, it will radiate through your photos.
4. Consider Your Shoot Location
If your session is outdoors, be sure to bring layers and outfit options to fit the environment.
5. Don’t Be Afraid to Ask for Help
If you’re feeling stumped, we’re here for you! Our extensive client closet is full of options, and we’d love to help style you. During your wardrobe consultation, we’ll provide ideas and suggestions based on what makes you feel your best.
What to Avoid
• Ill-Fitting Lingerie: Avoid items that are too tight or uncomfortable. Pay close attention to how your lingerie fits to ensure it enhances your natural beauty.
• Tight Clothing Before Your Session: Wearing tight-fitting clothes on your way to the shoot can leave marks or creases on your skin. Opt for something loose and comfortable to keep your skin smooth and ready for the camera.
Lingerie Isn’t a Necessity
It’s important to remember that boudoir isn’t just about lingerie—it’s about what makes you feel sexy and empowered. Whether it’s an oversized sweater, your favorite t-shirt, or even nothing at all, what matters is how it makes you feel.
