9 Lingerie Looks for your Boudoir Photography Session
Choosing those perfect pieces of lingerie for your boudoir photo shoot can be tough especially if this is your first time doing a photoshoot.
Lingerie is like sculpture on your body, enhancing the curves of your body, helping you feel sexy. The wonderful combination of delicate lace, beautiful colours and soft silk drapery add drama making your images look more interesting.
Figuring out what type of lingerie best suits your shape, and the feel of your shoot is a great place to start.
We have selected 8 great ideas to think about when choosing your lingerie pieces that will work for most body shapes.
1. The Bodysuit
The bodysuit is a must for any boudoir photo shoot – essentially, it’s a bra and underwear in one (Sometimes, this is also called a teddy.)
Providing full coverage of the stomach area, It suits all body types and can give any boudoir shoot that elegant feel as well as accentuating you in all the right places.
2. Matching Bra & Underwear Set
A delicate bra and underwear set is one of the types of lingerie that can make a sexy statement for your boudoir shoot.
Bras come in a variety of styles: triangle, push-up, demi, balconette and more—you can choose whichever you love most.
Look for a bra embellished with embroidery or lace to elevate your look.
3. Bustier
Want to add that sexier feel to your lingerie shoot?
Wear this lingerie style to accentuate your cleavage.
A bustier is an extended bra top that usually covers all or most of the torso. If you’re looking to pump up the sex appeal, go for a strappier style in black or red.
Want something extra extravagant?
Try attached garters, so you can add thigh-high stockings.
4. Camisole
A camisole (aka cami) is a lingerie tank top, usually with spaghetti straps.
Choose one in a silky or satin fabric with lace accents for a luxe vibe, and pair it with short shorts.
Choose this look if you want something comfy and pajama-esque to give you a cute, playful vibe.
A camisole could also be worn with little silk shorts for a cheeky look.
5. Chemise / Slip / Baby Doll
A chemise is a short slip dress (also known as a baby doll) that’s simple to literally slip into and can be paired with a matching bikini or thong.
It’ll make you feel so beautiful and flirty kind of look, only sexier.
6. Corset
In the past, corsets cinched the waist and could be pulled tight, squeezing the midsection.
Today, many have boning in them for style and support, look for a corset with details such as lace, satin straps or attached garters.
You can find two types of corset: the overbust which covers the chest area and the underbust which reveals the chest area and can be paired with a matching bra.
7. Garter or Suspender Belt with Stockings
A garter belt (aka suspender belt) has clips that allow it to hold up thigh-high stockings, and you can add it to almost any type of lingerie.
A garter belt can also provide some coverage for the stomach area. If you add a pair of stockings they can help smooth texture on your legs.
Match it with a coordinating bra and panty to take it from ordinary to super sultry.
8. Robe
A luxe robe can be worn while you’re getting warmed up in your boudoir shoot, it adds glamour to any look and can be used to show the undressing portion of your shoot.
Afterward, it opens it to reveal the sexy underwear of your choice—or nothing at all.
Skip the typical terry cloth bathrobe and treat yourself to a more luxurious fabric like lace, silk, or satin.
9. The Thong or Full Brief
Thong underwear is one of the most revealing types of lingerie, with only a small strip of fabric in the back to show off your back side.
You can pair your thong with a cami, chemise, bustier, corset and/or a garter belt and thigh-highs—or nothing at all.
A general rule with panties is that the more fabric you have, the larger the body part will look. If you want to have a fuller bottom look for a full brief style instead of a thong.
