Selecting what to wear for your boudoir photoshoot is certainly a lot of fun, but its also crucial in creating the look and feel you desire. I specialize in French-inspired boudoir in Chicago.

Here are some lingerie and wardrobe options to consider for that eternal French-girl vibe.

Boudoir Aesthetic

  1. Lingerie Sets:

    • Bra and panty sets: Classic and versatile.

    • Bodysuits: Universally flattering and elegant.

    • Corsets: Provide a structured, hourglass look. (Can’t miss with a vintage vibe!)

    • Bustiers: Offer support and a romantic feel.

  2. Silk or Satin Robes:

    • Satin or silk robes: Add a touch of luxury.

    • Lace robes: Create a soft, sensual look.

    • Sheer or chiffon kimonos: Provide a playful and alluring vibe.

  3. Teddies and Babydolls:

    • Teddy: A one-piece garment that combines a camisole and panty.

    • Babydoll: A short, loose-fitting nightgown, often with matching panties.

  4. Stockings and Garters:

    • Thigh-high stockings: Add a touch of seduction.

    • Garter belts: Pair with stockings for a classic look.

  5. Bodystockings and Fishnet Tights:

    • Bodystockings: Cover the body in a sheer or lace fabric.

    • Fishnet tights: Provide a playful and edgy look.

  6. Corsets and Waist Cinchers:

    • Can be worn alone or with other lingerie for a dramatic silhouette.

  7. High Heels:

    • High heels can elongate your legs and add a sexy touch to your look.

  8. Accessories:

    • Jewelry: Delicate necklaces, bracelets, and earrings can add a touch of glamour. (AKA tiny jewelry)

    • Hats: Can create a playful or mysterious vibe.

    • Gloves: Elbow-length or lace gloves are timeless and elegant.

  9. Personalized Items:

    • Consider wearing your partner's shirt and tie for a personalized touch.

  10. Props and Themed Outfits:

    • Depending on your vibe, you can incorporate props like feathers, masks, or costume pieces.

  11. Your Own Wardrobe:

    • Don't forget about what makes you feel confident and beautiful. You can incorporate pieces from your own wardrobe that make you feel your best.

    • Implied nude shots (never nude) can be incredibly artistic and sensual if that's within your comfort zone.

  12. Go French-Girl

    • Ensure your images stay eternally fresh and youthful by going for that French-girl vibe. That’s my vibe, afterall.
