The Biggest Mistake Women Make When it Comes to Boudoir Outfits

If you’re planning a boudoir session, you’ve probably been thinking about what to wear. But the biggest mistake women make when it comes to boudoir outfits is one that might surprise you: not bringing enough. And especially not bringing enough variety.

Why Two Outfits Won’t Cut It

It happens all the time. A client shows up with two outfits that are both soft, flowy, and designed to cover everything. Usually they’re trying to hide parts of their body they don’t love, thinking that modest coverage will make them feel more confident. And we get it. Most of us have been taught to cover up what we feel are our “flaws.”

But here’s the problem. When every outfit is the same cut, the same vibe, or chosen just to conceal, we lose the ability to create variety in your photos. You may feel safe, but you won’t feel fully seen. And you deserve more than that.

You Deserve More Than One Version of Yourself

The point of a boudoir session isn’t to look like someone else. It’s to reconnect with the real you. That means capturing your soft side, your bold side, your sexy side, your powerful side.

Different outfit styles allow us to capture the different parts of you that deserve to be seen. A bodysuit highlights your curves. A cozy cardigan shows your soft side. A blazer over lingerie screams confidence. A structured three piece lingerie set with thigh high stockings shows the girl who is desirable. A pair of jeans or a pair of sweatpants while you show a little side boob shows you’re hot even when you’re feeling casual.

The more variety you bring, the more variety we can create. The goal isn’t just to look good. It’s for you to discover your beauty, just the way you are, no matter what you’re wearing. But that mix of clothing options is what creates the galleries you’re obsessed with. We can’t create those same things for you when you don’t give us that variety to work with.

The Top 10 Things to Pack

Here’s what we recommend bringing so you’re ready for any vibe or vision we explore:

1. Bodysuits (with cups if you’re large chested)

2. Matching bra and panty sets or three piece lingerie sets with stockings

3. Sexy streetwear, like a blazer over lingerie or a date night style dress

4. A pair of unbuttoned jeans

5. Something personal, like a sports jersey, calvin klein set, sexy workout clothes, or anything meaningful to you or your partner

6. An open cardigan to add some texture and cover your arms or belly if you’re conscious in a bra and panty set

7. Something daring like an extravagant robe, a skin-tight bodystocking, or a piece of sheer fabric

8. A lace robe, black or white, paired with a coordinating set or bodysuit underneath

9. Off-the-shoulder sweater and thigh-high socks

10. At least one thong (black or nude if you only bring one)

    
    

Don’t Underestimate Yourself

The biggest myth is that lingerie only looks good on certain bodies. That is flat-out false. The right pieces will highlight your favorite features and remind you that confidence isn’t a size.

We help you choose what flatters you best and what fits the mood you want. You don’t have to figure it out alone. That’s what we’re here for.

You might not use everything, but having more gives us options. It gives you freedom. So pack the pieces that make you feel powerful, sexy, soft, confident, or just plain beautiful.

Because the biggest mistake women make when it comes to boudoir outfits is underpacking and thinking that you can’t pull something off just because it’s not something you’d typically wear.

Remember, boudoir isn’t just about sexy photos. It’s about changing the way you see yourself. And when you trust the process and lean into these 5 Secrets for an Amazing Boudoir Session, the transformation is real. You’ll walk away with images that make you think, “Damn. That’s me.” And girl…we can’t wait to show you just how beautiful you are, just the way you are.
