Boudoir Outfit Ideas Other Than Lingerie

BOUDOIR OUTFIT IDEAS OTHER THAN LINGERIE

Maybe you’re not a lingerie girlie. Maybe you’re just looking to add some variety to your boudoir session? Either way, here are some of my favorite boudoir outfit ideas other than lingerie for you to wear during your session.

SWEATERS, CARDIGANS, OR OTHER SHIRTS

Sweaters can be a comfy boudoir outfit option that is still sexy and cozy without being lingerie. If you’re nervous about your session and want to bring something that will provide a little more coverage, this is a great way to go!

When you’re shopping, look for sweaters (or even other shirts) with thinner fabrics and wide necklines. These are perfect for draping off the shoulder during your session for a flirty or sensual look. Amazon and Aerie can be good places to look if you don’t already have a sweater that fits the bill.

JERSEY

Is your man a sporty guy? Is there a specific team he supports? Does he have a jersey laying around in his closet? Grab it! Bonus points if it has buttons.

OVER SIZED BUTTON DOWNS

This is an easy option for most women. Just take a peek in his closet and see what he has! Oversized button downs look great in boudoir sessions and add sentimental value to the photos. You could also grab one of his t-shirts if that’s more his style. This is a great way to incorporate him into your session.

JACKET

You can also get creative with a jacket or a blazer. Jackets pair great with just a sexy bra or bralette or even nothing underneath it.

BODYSUIT

Maybe a lacy lingerie bodysuit or teddy isn’t your thing. There are plenty of bodysuits in the clothing department that aren’t necessarily lingerie but will photograph just as nicely as a lacy lingerie bodysuit. Look for one that suits your style!

JEANS

Your favorite pair of jeans (or jean shorts) can be a great idea for your boudoir session. You can pair them with a sheer white top, a bodysuit, a bralette, or even a sports bra.

Or…you can go topless. If you don’t want to bare everything, we can cover your chest with your hands, have you lay on your stomach, or photograph you from the back. There are plenty of options for every comfort level. I’ve even had a woman bring a bouquet of fresh flowers from Flourish Flowers to strategically cover her chest. It added an incredibly beautiful pop of color to her session.

BEDSHEET

A bed sheet is always an outfit option! The cool thing is, it’s possible to do implied nude photos with a bedsheet without actually getting fully naked. This depends 100% on your comfort level. Some women are comfortable going topless beneath the bedsheet. If you aren’t comfortable going topless, we can achieve the same look by pulling your bra straps down and making sure the sheet covers all of your bra.

Many women leave their underwear on for these shots. If you want to take your underwear off to show more of your torso and hips, you certainly can, but it’s never required! I’ll even turn away to give you privacy while you’re getting into position if you’d like. I cannot stress this enough: your comfort matters!
