TOP 5 OUTFITS YOU SHOULD AVOID DURING YOUR BOUDOIR SESSION

WARDROBE NO-NO’S

With SO many lingerie outfits to choose from for your boudoir experience, it seems like it is impossible to choose the perfect one! It can be a little more stressful then it needs to be. I’m sure you are looking up so many different stores with so many different styles - the list goes on! But to make your life a little bit easier, I’m here to help you narrow some of those options down for you.


WHAT TO AVOID:


Bright/neon colors

  • Having vibrant, colorful outfits will damage your images. These bold outfits draw away from the most important subject… YOU. Overall it will be distracting and the eye will automatically look at the outfit, not at you.

Jerseys

  • I know some of you want to do something sexy for your partner, but jerseys are not the way to do it. They are not made for women’s bodies. They make all your beautiful curves and shapes disappear into one big rectangular box. Do not hide your curves ladies - flaunt them!

Babydolls

  • As cute as they may be, babydolls are not complimentary to any body type, period. Most of the time they are unflattering and can make us women seem bigger than we actually are. I would avoid these at all costs.

Outfits that are way too tight

  • You are are going to be in many different poses that require you to bend and/or stretch certain ways that you are not familiar with. Having outfits that are flexible and comfortable makes the shoot easier to go through. Plus being uncomfortable shows on your face - we don’t want to capture that expression!

Corsets

  • I know, this one is kind of a shocker and kind of a bummer. Yes, corsets are gorgeous and they can make you look amazing, but for a boudoir photoshoot I highly discourage it. Sure, wearing a corset when you are standing is fine, but most of the time during your shoot you are going to be lying down, twisting and turning into multiple different positions that requires some flexibility. Corsets will prevent you from doing that. And if you are uncomfortable, your face will express that discomfort in image.
