Choosing what to wear for your boudoir session can feel overwhelming — but it doesn’t have to be. Whether you’re baring it all or keeping it sweet and subtle, your outfit should make you feel confident, sexy, and totally yourself.
The good news? You don’t need to go shopping unless you want to. I offer a luxury client wardrobe stocked with beautiful boudoir outfits from high end retailers like Honey Birdette and The Black Market, as well as more affordable options like Amazon and Shein. One of the most popular pieces in the wardrobe is from Amazon, and I’ve had countless requests for the link to purchase it for themselves! In my treasure trove of lingerie, there are a multitude of styles and colours, and sizes ranging from XS to 5XL. Whether you’re a minimalist, a maximalist, or somewhere in between — I’ve got something you’ll love!
Let’s walk through some of the best boudoir outfit ideas so you can start planning the perfect look for your session.
Bodysuits: The Most Flattering of All
If you’re unsure where to start, bodysuits are the safest (and sexiest) bet. They flatter every body shape, create beautiful curves, and give you that sculpted, confident look without feeling too exposed. Whether lacy, strappy, sheer, or solid, bodysuits hug all the right places and work wonders under even the brightest lights.
Two- and Three-Piece Sets
Matching sets in lace, mesh, or satin are classic for a reason. A well-fitting bra and panty set can accentuate your shape and show off your personality — romantic, sultry, playful, or fierce. Add a garter belt or thigh-highs to create visual interest and elongate your legs.
Pro tip: A three-piece set (like a bra, panty, and garter or harness) adds structure and polish to your look.
Casual Looks
Want something more laid-back or PG-rated? Oversized jumpers, slouchy knits, button-down shirts, or even jeans and a bra can look incredibly intimate and stylish. These looks offer a peek into your everyday personality, and often end up being some of the most natural and beautiful shots in your gallery.
Dresses
Soft, draped dresses or slinky slips can add an element of drama or romance to your shoot. Think satin gowns, open backs, plunging necklines, or body-hugging silhouettes. These are great for those who prefer a little more coverage while still feeling like a goddess.
Nude or Implied
For the brave and the bold — nude or implied nude shots are truly powerful. With clever posing, soft fabrics, and intentional lighting, we can create artistic, emotional, and wildly flattering portraits that feel empowering (not exposed). And yes — these images often become client favourites.
Lingerie that Works with Your Body
Here’s the truth: Not all lingerie is made equal. Some pieces (like babydolls or corsets) promise to flatter but often do the opposite. They can hide your natural shape or create bulk where you don’t want it. That’s why I encourage pieces that celebrate your body instead of disguising it.
We’ll choose outfits that highlight what you love — maybe it’s your curves, your collarbone, or those killer legs — and minimise areas you’re less confident about. And if there’s a body part you’ve never liked? Let me photograph it in a way that might just change your mind.
You Don’t Have to Decide Alone
When you book a session, we’ll plan everything together. You can browse the client wardrobe, get help selecting pieces that match your vibe, or bring a few favourites from home. Want to do a mix of looks? Even better — we’ll shoot a variety of styles in your session so you can see yourself in more than one light.
Your boudoir shoot is about you — your power, your softness, your edges, your curves. The outfit is just the beginning.
