How To Style Your Boudoir Shoot With What You Already Have | Portrait by Chrissy | Houston Boudoir Photographer
Ok so you want to do a boudoir shoot but you’re not sure how to style your wardrobe OR you don’t want to spend a ton of money. I gotcha girl…you don’t have to spend a dime! I’m going to show you how you can style your shoot from items you probably already have in your wardrobe. First, don’t forget you can always style from my wardrobe closet, you can consider a nude boudoir shoot, or you can shop in your own closet for your wardrobe!
You don’t need lingerie to have an epic boudoir shoot in fact, my style is anything but lingerie. Your shoot, your style though, so if lingerie is your thang – do it! Still, consider some alternatives here…
In this quick little bloggity blog I am going to show you how to use items you probably already have!
Crop Top and Panties! Don’t have a crop top? A fitted T-shirt, or his favorite T-shirt would still make a great substitute. P.S. I have the leg warmers so if you like the look below, I have several styles in the studio <3
Bra and Panties!
You don’t want every look to be bra and panties, if you have a large collection, bring one or two sets. You don’t want your shoot be repetitive. Changes are you have a matching set of bra and panties so consider packing a few…
Suit jacket!
You probably have a fitted suit jacket in your closet. Consider bring it and if you don’t have one, I do! grab a pair of boy short panties or a lacy pair of panties and BOOM, you got a sexy look…
A decorative jacket!
Another cute idea to pair with a pair of matching panties. Heels optional…
A heavy jacket!
What? Three jacket looks so far… you probably have a beautiful winter dress coat in your closet that would be absolutely amazing incorporated into your boudoir session.
A robe.
Do you have a beautiful decorative robe or silk or lacy robe? Consider incorporating them into your session. Even a terry cloth robe would photograph beautiful in a boudoir shoot.
A body suit.
There are so many varieties of bodysuits that have come back into style and photograph beautifully in boudoir. I have several styles of bodysuits in the studio but chances are you have one already but, if you don’t I got your back!
A Kimono or Ruana
Another beautiful piece you make have in your closet you can bring to style your session. I have a few in the studio if you don’t.
Sports bra and panties.
If you love an athletic look, this is a perfect set to bring to your boudoir session!
A sweater and leggings.
If you love a modest look, consider a pair of leggings and a cozy sweater.
Cardigan Sweater.
A cardigan sweater looks amazing paired with a panty and bra set and over a bodysuit.
That’s 11 ways to style your session with what you already have. Want more inspiration for how to style your boudoir session? Check out my Ultimate Boudoir Guide.
