Best Outfits for a Boudoir Photoshoot

One of the most common questions I get from clients at my Suwanee, Georgia boudoir studio is: “What should I wear for my session?” The truth is, there’s no single “right” outfit. The best outfits are the ones that make you feel confident, comfortable, and authentically yourself.

Here are some of my favorite outfit ideas to inspire you:

Classic Lingerie Sets

A matching bra and panty set is timeless for a reason. Whether lacy and delicate or bold and strappy, lingerie photographs beautifully and instantly elevates the boudoir vibe.

Bodysuits

Bodysuits are one of my most recommended pieces for first-time clients. They’re flattering on every body type, hug your curves in all the right places, and can range from elegant to edgy depending on the style.

Cozy & Casual

Boudoir isn’t all about lace. A soft sweater, an oversized button-down shirt, or even a favorite pair of jeans can create intimate, relaxed images that feel personal and authentic.

Dresses & Robes

Flowy slips, silky robes, or sheer cover-ups can add movement and a touch of glamour to your photos. They also give you layering options, which makes your session more versatile.

Accessories

Don’t underestimate the power of accessories. Heels, thigh-high stockings, jewelry, or even hats can change the mood of a look entirely. Props like books, leather jackets, or even a motorcycle helmet can also make the session unique to you.

Nude or Semi-Nude

While not required, some clients choose to explore implied or tasteful nude poses. Draped sheets, soft lighting, and creative posing can make these images breathtakingly beautiful while keeping them elegant. Remember: nudity is always optional, you decide what feels comfortable.

Tips for Choosing Your Outfits

• Bring variety: Mix lingerie, casual looks, and something bold.

• Stick to what feels like you: If you don’t normally wear super strappy lingerie, try a bodysuit or soft slip instead.

• Choose colors that flatter you: Black and jewel tones are always stunning, but soft pastels and neutrals can be equally gorgeous.

• Don’t overpack: A handful of well-chosen outfits is better than a suitcase full of pieces you won’t use.
