I swear one of the most asked questions I receive is “What should I wear for my body type?”
This answer is actually super easy, but first, I need to explain something-
Body types don't really matter.
No two bodies are the same! You could line 50 different ladies up next to each other and no one will share the same exact body structure. We are all made and shaped differently, so this idea that certain things work for certain body types is just bologna. You and your body are beautiful and powerful! Your body is unique to you, and that’s one of the many things that makes you beautiful. Cue throwback One Direction song.
I know, I know. That didn’t exactly answer your question, but what I mean is that there is no ONE type of lingerie that will look stunning on you! What you should and shouldn’t wear comes down to your personal preferences, NOT your body type!
So let me ask you a few questions to help you find that answer!
How Modest Are You?
Are you wanting to flaunt your stuff? Or do you feel more at ease a bit covered up? With nothing to do with what your body type, this all comes down to who you are as a person. Covered vs not covered, there is never any judgement in my boudoir studio with what you choose to do! This is completely up to you, and we will respect and honor any boundary you decide to set. We will NEVER pressure you to take off more clothes than you’re willing, but it is always an option if you change your mind once you’re more comfortable!
If you love the idea of flaunting your body consider these lingerie pieces:
Bra and Pantry Set
Silk Sheet
Crop top
If a bit more covered is your thing:
Teddies
Tshirts
Sweaters
Chemises
Are There Any Parts Of Your Body That You Want To De-emphasize?
The number one most sensitive area I see all the time is a woman’s midsection. I always ask my clients, “Are you okay with seeing your stomach in photos, or would you prefer covering it?” If the answer is to cover that area, then here are my recommendations:
Teddies/ Bodysuits: I seriously could photograph these things ALL THE TIME! I love love love them so much! They range from full coverage to completely see through, and everyone feels sexy and confident in them.
Chemises
Slips
Tshirts
Sweaters
Are your arms what bother you? Look for things with longer sleeves!
Robes
Long sleeved Bodysuits
Cardigans
Is it your legs that you just aren't fond of?! I DO NOT recommend thigh highs, instead go for fishnets and stockings that go all the way up to your waist!
How Far Outside Of Your Comfort Zone Are You Willing To Go?
Now that I have given my suggestions on what to wear and what not to wear, I also want to tell you to screw all that advice, and try to embrace yourself a little bit! Scared to go naked? Afraid to wear a 2 piece? Feel like lace is a little too revealing? Try it, you never know how you will feel about something until you see it photographed! You may just LOVE it.
If you don’t want to buy something that you’re not sure about, then never fear! Our client closet is MASSIVE and we have tons of options for you to look at and try!
These are just some of my tips for what to wear to your boudoir session! Have more questions? Feel free to ask us, and also check out our Do’s and Don’ts With Lingerie blog post! I go through and list out some of the things I have learned to do and not do over the years!
