What Should a Couple Wear for Boudoir?<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

A couple\u2019s boudoir shoot is an intimate moment between two people, capturing the connection and feelings. Preparing outfits for one person can be challenging, so what more when there are two of you? We’re listing what a couple should wear for a boudoir shoot and styling tips to prepare for your shoot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A couple can wear simple complementary clothes such as lingerie and a bodysuit for women and then boxer briefs for men. You may also consider casual clothes such as tees or button-up shirts with jeans. Another option is to prepare dress-up clothing that shows your personality as a couple.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Couple\u2019s boudoir photography focuses on showing the intimacy between lovers. While I’m here to capture your love, you must be comfortable with your clothes. As a professional boudoir photographer, I guide clients to\u00a0plan boudoir outfits<\/a> that allow them to express their beauty and fierceness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Are Clothing Options for a Couple’s Boudoir Shoot?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The simplest way to style a boudoir wardrobe for couples is to stick with casual clothing or bedroom-specific that you can easily find in your closet. However, you can also glam up using fancy clothes or complementary outfits to tell more of a storyline. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simple and Casual Clothes<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Simplicity is the key for couples to shine in boudoir photos. Closet staples such as shirts or button-up shirts allow you to grip something seductively or undress each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While your outfits will add texture and story to your images, the primary focus will be on your intimacy and features. I recommend keeping clothes to a minimum. This will save you time preparing while ensuring your outfits won’t outshine your body language and facial expressions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Complementary Outfits<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Complementary outfits should help make couples look photographed as a whole. The clothing styles and colors shouldn’t clash. Instead, complimentary accents must help add texture and a bit of color to the scene.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For instance, wear pale blue lingerie while your partner has a white shirt. Another example is that both of you use an off-shoulder sweater paired with lace underwear in contrasting colors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fancy Clothes<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

A boudoir shoot\u00a0doesn’t automatically mean you must wear highly revealing clothing. You can choose whatever theme you like for a session, including wearing fancy clothes.\u00a0Luxury was boudoir photography’s concept in the 1920s<\/a> and this is a great chance to have a themed shoot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Men can wear black slacks with only a bow tie (Chippendale\u2019s style!) or an unbuttoned white shirt. Meanwhile, the ladies can wear a deep-V or halter dress that highlights the collarbone. You can also pair this outfit with fishnet stockings and heels for a more seductive look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Should Men Wear for a Boudoir Photoshoot?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Men typically end up going topless during a boudoir photoshoot, but we love layers of clothing so that we can peel back the layers of the onion. However, shirts, jeans, and boxer briefs are must-have clothing pieces for a couple’s boudoir session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
