Central to this art form is the attire chosen, as it plays a significant role in conveying individual style. From delicate lingerie to oversized sweaters, options are endless, but finding the perfect ensemble can be anxiety inducing. Let’s break it down: Here’s a guide to decoding the dress code for boudoir photography, ensuring you feel empowered and radiant during your session.
lingerie
Lingerie is the quintessential choice for boudoir photography, exuding an air of sophistication and allure. Whether it’s lace, satin, or sheer fabrics, opt for pieces that accentuate your curves and make you feel effortlessly glamorous. From classic black to vibrant hues, choose colors that complement your skin tone and reflect your personality. Don’t be afraid to experiment with different styles, from romantic babydolls to sultry bodysuits, as each piece adds its own unique charm to the shoot.
oversized apparel
While lingerie may be the traditional choice for boudoir photography, oversized apparel can add a unique and unexpected twist to your shoot. Think cozy sweaters, button-down shirts, or flowing robes that drape elegantly over your silhouette. Experiment with different textures and fabrics to create a look that is both sensual and effortless, allowing your natural beauty to shine through.
accessories
Accessories are the perfect finishing touch to elevate your boudoir look from stunning to unforgettable. Consider wearing statement jewelry, such as chandelier earrings or delicate necklaces, to add a touch of sparkle and sophistication. Some choose hair accessories, like floral crowns or veils. Remember, less is more, so choose pieces that complement your outfit without overpowering it.
personal items
Ultimately, when it comes to boudoir attire, there is one rule; that it reflects your personality and makes you feel confident and beautiful. Incorporating personal touches into your ensemble adds depth and authenticity to the photos. If you want to look like an angel – we say wear wings! The best boudoir images come from self expression, so you have our permission to express yourself. Don’t be afraid to step outside the box and embrace your unique style, after all boudoir photography is all about celebrating what makes you, you!
“A boudoir session should be unique to the person – I’ve had girls bring donuts, shark pillows, rock climbing gear (which looks like a garter belt – Ah-mazing!!), snakes and of course your typical work shirts and jerseys. It’s about including objects and outfits that include your partner and make you feel sexy.”
