What Lingerie Should I Wear For A Boudoir Photoshoot?

So you’ve decided to treat yourself to a boudoir photoshoot (or more likely it’s your partner’s idea!) the next decision is what type of clothing and lingerie are you going to wear?

Subtle, classy, sophisticated, sexy, sassy or downright slutty, the possibilities are endless! And the good news is there is no right or wrong answer to this question, it depends entirely upon you and your own preference.

Here’s a few suggestions that hopefully will give you some ideas on how to get the best from this great opportunity.

The most important questions are firstly why are you doing this? And secondly what are you trying to achieve? Once you have answered these two question your choice of plus size lingerie becomes much easier.

For example:

  • Elegant

This style tends to be very flexible but should always be sophisticated. You should be able to feel sexy and classy at the same time. This type of photograph is usually taken in black and white.

Here’s a classic bra, panty & suspender belt set.


  • Dramatic

These shots will usually be taken in a low soft light and focus purely on the subject. i.e. You!

Choose as little clothing or lingerie as possible here but the photo will be very discreet and not reveal anything you don’t want to. The medium of light and dark is especially useful here as anything that you require to remain hidden can be immersed in shadow.

  • Playful

In this theme the emphasis is definitely on fun. So, you should choose some props and costumes with a theme. Cheeky and saucy are the order of the day here.

So maybe try a French Maid or everyone’s favourite a Naughty Schoolgirl?

Here’s a Sexy Nurse costume:

  • Pin Up

I guess this is the most popular of the themes, the classic ‘pin-up’. So think about your hairstyle, clothing and makeup very carefully. What you are looking for is a vintage retro style, just like your Mum or your Nan used to wear!

This shoot would best be described as suggestive and cheeky rather than explicit.

In terms of lingerie for this theme, black stockings are a must and even better would be fishnets with back seams. If you are feeling really brave why not try faux leather stockings, these are sure to make the resulting photos memorable.

  • Everyday

As the name suggests this a more conservative style. So most likely you will be fully clothed and the photos will be taken outdoors. Lots of natural light and absolutely very little or ideally no shadows.  

Clothes are the order of the day here rather than underwear so try this Midi Dress:

  • Wedding

This is a very popular choice and is usually taken to celebrate an engagement or wedding. Think innocent and pure, chaste and virginal and you’ll get the idea here.

So white is definitely the colour of choice.  Satin and silk would be a great choice for material and probably best of all try white lace.

Matching Bra & Panties work well paired of course with white stockings. And a Bride’s Basque or Corset would also be a great choice.

A wedding veil or headpiece for the bride to be, wearing her wedding lingerie (bra or corset, matching knickers plus stockings, suspender belt and of course garter belt!) but without the wedding dress is a very popular option here.

Try our Satin Bridal Basque:

Whatever you decide fun is absolutely essential as you create an everlasting memory for you and your loved one.
