1. A Lace Bodysuit – A Classic for a Reason

Lace bodysuits are one of the most universally flattering lingerie pieces. They hug your curves in all the right places, create beautiful lines, and give you just the right amount of coverage while still being ultra-sexy. Look for ones with plunging necklines or open backs for extra drama.

2. Matching Bra & Panty Set – Simple & Stunning

A well-fitted bra and panty set is a no-fail boudoir look. Whether you go for a delicate lace bralette, a supportive push-up, or a bold strappy set, this combo is perfect for showing off your shape. High-waisted panties can accentuate your waist, while cheeky cuts highlight your curves beautifully. I'm partial to high waisted myself because I love the support high waisted underwear gives my tummy.

3. A Sheer Robe – Light & Dreamy

A long, flowing sheer robe adds a touch of softness and elegance to your photos. It's also a great way to ease into your session if you're feeling a little shy—slipping it on and off gives you options for coverage while still showing off your lingerie (or skin) underneath. If you want a dreamy morning vibe to your session, a sheer robe is the way to go. I'd definitely believe the "I woke up like this" story it tells.

4. A Satin Slip – Old Hollywood Glam

There’s something effortlessly sexy about a satin slip dress. The silky fabric drapes beautifully on every body and gives off major vintage bombshell vibes. Look for one with a deep slit or open back to add a little extra allure.

5. Cozy Sweaters & Over-the-Knee Socks – Casual & Playful

If you love the cozy aesthetic like me, an oversized sweater paired with knee-high socks is an adorable yet sultry look. It’s perfect if you want a more relaxed, intimate vibe for your session. Plus, the contrast of soft knits against bare skin is visually stunning. This is also a perfect outfit to start your session with because you can add more revealing wardrobe as the shoot goes on, creating a very sensual story.

Bonus Tip: If you have thick thighs, I recommend Thunda Thighs for high rise socks. I know it can be a struggle finding socks that actually fit your thighs, and this brand has you covered.

6. Strappy or Cutout Lingerie – Edgy & Bold

If you want to add some extra spice to your shoot, opt for lingerie with straps, cutouts, or harness details. These elements create gorgeous shapes and add interest to your photos. Bonus: they give you something to play with when posing!

7. An Unbuttoned Shirt – Effortlessly Sexy

An oversized button-down shirt (think your partner’s dress shirt or your own favorite flannel) is a super sexy, effortless choice. Wear it slightly off the shoulder, pair it with a cute bra and panty set, or go fully topless underneath for a more daring look. If the thought of starting your session in lingerie makes you nervous, this is a great option for you.

8. A Corset or Bustier – Cinched & Sculpted

Corsets and bustiers create a gorgeous silhouette by defining your waist and boosting your curves. Whether you go for a lace-up back, a classic satin look, or something sheer and delicate, this style is pure confidence-boosting magic. Just note that movement may be difficult in this style of lingerie! You may be limited in how you can pose depending on the style you choose.

9. Bare Skin & a Sheet – Timeless & Sultry

One of the simplest (and sexiest) boudoir looks is just YOU and a soft sheet. This minimalist look keeps the focus on your natural beauty and allows for so many different posing possibilities. Whether you wrap yourself up or let the sheet drape effortlessly, the result is always stunning.

10. Something Personal – Make It Meaningful

Boudoir is all about capturing your essence, so consider incorporating a piece that has personal significance. This could be your wedding veil, a jersey from your favorite team, a leather jacket, or a piece of jewelry that makes you feel powerful. Whatever speaks to you will make your photos even more special.

The best outfit for your boudoir session is the one that makes you feel incredible. Confidence is the most beautiful thing you can wear, and as long as you feel comfortable, empowered, and sexy, your photos will reflect that. Don’t overthink it—embrace your body, have fun, and let’s create some magic!
