Y’all— I’ve been loving wardrobe staples

When it comes to boudoir photography, it’s easy to think that the most iconic looks are always about elaborate lingerie, lace, and over-the-top glam. While those styles will never lose their charm, I’ve found that some of the sexiest images come from the simplest wardrobe choices—like classic Calvins, a well-fitted white t-shirt, or soft, sheer fabrics.

There’s something undeniably powerful in simplicity. These pieces exude an effortless, relaxed vibe that still holds so much allure. The beauty is in the subtlety; the soft curve of a silhouette, the glimpse of skin without fully revealing it. It’s suggestive without being obvious—leaving just enough to the imagination (or not, depending how you play it!).

As a photographer, I love these wardrobe staples because they give me the freedom to focus on you—your confidence, your personality, your energy—without distractions. They invite curiosity and make the final image feel intimate and personal. You don’t need a ton of pieces to create a stunning, seductive look; a simple, well-chosen outfit can create incredible art.

If you’ve been thinking about your boudoir wardrobe for an upcoming session, consider stepping outside the traditional lingerie box and embracing these understated pieces. They’re simple, but they might just be the most iconic—and most empowering—look you could choose.
