What to Wear for Boudoir Photos · Mens Boudoir Photography

You may be considering doing a male boudoir photoshoot but have no idea of what to wear for boudoir photos. When preparing your boudoir clothing, remember that variety is key. I also recommend bringing 4-8 different looks. Preparation and staying true to yourself will make for a successful photoshoot. If possible, plan out your boudoir attire weeks in advance. Below is a boudoir outfit guide and boudoir clothing ideas:

Boudoir Clothing: Underwear Sets

For male boudoir, I recommend bringing multiple underwear sets. Make sure to bring different colors and styles so that there is variety in your photos. If possible, try to bring neutral colored underwear with no logos (small logo is okay).

Boudoir Outfit Guide: Buttoned Up Shirt

All my male clients bring multiple buttoned up shirts. Make sure to include different colors and styles. One of the poses involve unbuttoning your shirt.

Boudoir Outfit: Implied or Partial Nude

Implied or partial nudity is a common theme in boudoir photos. My photography includes a classy and natural approach to male nudes. Think fine art vs erotic for this look. Nudity is completely optional. Prior to our photoshoot, we will discuss your comfort level and photography goals. A lot of my clients are celebrating their fitness journey or want to give a fun, sexy gift to their partners, so they want to include nude photos.

Boudoir Outfit: Bedsheet Look

This is one of my favorite looks. I do these in most of my boudoir photoshoots. We have bed sheets, so you won’t have to bring one in for your photoshoot.

Boudoir Attire Looks: Robes, Jeans, Suits & Undershirt

When planning for your photoshoot, make sure to bring a variety of different outfits. Try on all your outfits beforehand and make sure it fits properly. Also, some outfits don’t photograph that well, so it’s a good idea to bring a lot of options. Check out the photos below for inspiration:

WHAT TO WEAR FOR YOUR BOUDOIR SESSION

I get asked a lot about what to wear for a boudoir session. Considering most of us don't get photographed in our undies every day, that's totally understandable. I suggest bringing 3-5 outfits for your session, but I'm not going to give you hard rules for what to wear. Because I want your personality to shine through, and because you probably already know what shapes look good on you.

But I do have a lot of suggestions and guides based on my experience and seeing what looks good on camera.

Focus on finding items that show off what you love about yourself, not hiding what you don't love!

That's my main guide. Because it's also how I photograph. I'll ask you ahead of time what your favorite parts of yourself are, and we'll focus on those. And your wardrobe can do the same! Here are some ideas to get you started. You can also borrow items from my client wardrobe. It's full of vintage items, bodysuits, robes, jackets, and lots more.

GUNS & BOWS!!!

I am a big time hunter and love guns & bows!! Bring your own or ask me to use mine. I will of course check them to make sure your guns are unloaded for the safety of my team.

BRA & PANTY SETS

This is an obvious suggestion, but classics are classics for a reason, right? If you have a more laid-back style, try some Calvin Klein style undies or pairing a simple set with jeans or a sweater. Or go more vavavoom and add lace and straps and cutouts and other fun details.

There are so many different cuts of bras and panties. Like the high waist ones above that can cover lower stomach. Or thongs to showcase your booty. Lots of ladies think if they do not love their butt, that they should not wear a thong. But I think if you don't love your butt, you should wear a thong! With my posing guidance, a thong will help your booty look amazing! Or push up bras. Or boy shorts. Don't be afraid to try something a little different!

ADD A SWEATER OR JACKET

Maybe it seems counterintuitive to put on a sweater for a boudoir session, but I always love it! Just make sure that your sweater gives you room to play by falling off a shoulder or opening up the middle to show some skin.

ALL THE BODYSUITS

There is a bodysuit for everyone. Get high cut to show off booty and make your legs look super long. Get a low back to show off your back. Low cut V for flaunting your chest. There are so many different styles, and they can cover quite a bit of you while still showing all your curves.

This is as close as I get to a rule: please no babydolls! People sometimes assume that the babydoll will flatter them because it hides their stomach. But it actually makes your midsection look larger with all that extra fabric. So, if you want to keep your stomach covered but keep your curves, a bodysuit is a great alternative! And if you want to cover your booty and thighs too, try a fitted slip like the one below. No extra fabric there.

TIGHTS, SOCKS, & SHOES

These are all totally optional items. Heels can accentuate your leg muscles and help your legs look longer. But a lot of my clients want a more laid-back vibe and choose not to bring any. We do have heels too.

Tights can be so sexy! It's a good way to show off your legs even if they aren't your favorite body part. I am a sucker for thigh high tights with a garter belt or full fishnet tights with just a thong underneath. It's hard to go wrong with tights.

I love a good pair of tall socks! It's weird that giant socks can be sexy, but I'll take it. If you really want a cozy casual session, don't forget your socks!

BRALETTES

Bralettes have great details, and are often easy to find for a good price! If you have a large chest, you can still wear a bralette! Just make sure you find a good quality one that can support you. Plus, you don't have to pair it with panties. Think outside of the box and try a bralette with shorts, jeans, or a skirt.

SEE THROUGH ITEMS

I love see through robes!! Pair it up with your favorite panty and bra set!! You can get creative with this and find unexpected things that specifically show off your favorite bits.

MIX & MATCH

Your tops and bottoms don't have to be a set. Make your own rules!

DON'T FORGET YOUR JEWELRY

Jewelry is not mandatory, but it can help show off your personal style as well as add more dimension to your outfit. You could even just wear jewelry! Body chains anyone?

CHECK YOUR CLOSET

So many non-lingerie items can be paired with lingerie for a boudoir look. Pack your favorite jeans or t-shirt. Or leather jacket. Or hat. Or crop top. Or wrap skirt. If you bring it, we can probably make it look sexy.

NOTHING

Nude is totally an outfit option. Bare it all or cover up with fabric, hands, or whatever else is around. This is completely up to you! I'll ask if you want to do nude shots and how much you want to show. Whatever you answer is fine.

Whatever you decide to wear (or not wear), we will make it look amazing. Just make sure to bring things you love. You can bring granny panties and old tennis shoes, and we will rock the heck out of it. So get inspired by the ideas above and then make them your own style.

This queen- I mean wow!! Holy shit girl, your first shoot was kick ass but now here you are killing it for your 2nd shoot. I felt like I should of been doing more but all you kept saying "I had such a great time at my first shoot with you that I just wanted that again and whatever you do will be great." Of course Amber will be making this her yearly THANG!! Just as you do a checkup for preventative health you need to do some BOUDOIR love.

I love it when my clients have faith in me and let me do my thing!! I mean who wouldn't wanna just let someone tell them where to stand, where to look and what to do with your hands? SIMPLE- show up, relax and enjoy!

This time around we ended up in the tub with her red lips and a fun sexy lacy dress that was just perfect. We have so many sets, spaces to use that we may not get to them all. I know this QUEEN will be back in the summer for a water shoot in our pond along with our porch. I already can imagine her as a water goddess with her blue eyes and a touch of smokey eye to go with a floral dress.

Of course we had to treat this QUEEN to a Sheet shoot, what is that you ask?? It is nothing but a sheet- HOT right?!!

Everyone needs to do this at least once in their lives!! NO JOKE- this right here makes any person feel SEXY AF!! Plus who would not wanna get naked between the sheets??

LOVING our new Green wall!! It is nothing but elegant. I have been using it with just about any outfit. I swear my Boudoir closet never stops growing and this new Black Body suit from Torrid is YUMMYYYY!!!

I am loving this blog!! Gives me the chance to show off more of my work and also some images that would not be ok for Facebook due to their crazy rules.

One of my favorite body suits is this yummy floral body suit. Of course I left this image dark and moody and a lot of the times I do shoot two different looks during a photo shoot. I always ask during the session what look my clients like and normally they will just tell me to do what I feel like doing. Which is perfect for me, because then I get to be creative.
