If you’re like most of the population getting boudoir photos done, I know you’ve been wondering what to wear to your boudoir photoshoot. This blog will be helpful for you even if you’re taking some at home spicy thirst trap photos, teasing pictures, or just some self-love body positivity pictures. What you wear can make the difference of taking a sexy photo and feeling like a bombshell in your thirst trap and having that tangible sexual energy.
As a Toronto Boudoir Photographer for over a decade, and the owner of Toronto’s Premier Boudoir Studio I’ve been able to witness how a sexy lingerie set can have a profound impact on your confidence and the fiery energy you bring into the boudoir studio set.
A fiery favorite boudoir photo lingerie set is one that exudes sexual energy just from the mere color! We’re talking…
RED HOT LINGERIE.
After this blog, I’m convinced you’ll see the value in bringing red lingerie to your next boudoir photo shoot.
With any complexion, skin color, body type, and style… red lingerie performs like the celebrity it is!
According to color-meanings.com:
“Red symbolizes action, strength, energy, and passion.”
“Red Positive traits: Sexuality, Courage, Desire, and Confidence.” (Go here read more about Color Meanings Take On Red)
Also from Colorsexplained.com, Red symbolizes romantic love, as well as lust and sexuality, and is often associated with love and lovers. That’s why it’s one of the main colors for Valentine’s Day!
Articulated by Colors explained, “Studies have found that men find women wearing red more attractive and are even willing to spend more money on a woman wearing red.”
Our take at Provocateur Images is red is a POWER color. It exudes sexual energy, and bravery! Red also is modern AND classic when it comes to boudoir photography and intimate boudoir photos.
There are a variety of types of lingerie out there… but if red is the color you choose, your next choice is to figure out what TYPE of red lingerie you want to wear for your spicy boudoir photos.

What about red accessories?
Go for it, a little pop of red here and there is great if you’re not ready to adorn a full red lingerie outfit. When pairing red accessories (red heels, red lipstick, hints of red in your jewelry, props, etc) make sure to keep your reds in the same family so they flow well together verses having different shades and hues of red in the same photo (this may be distracting).
You can also pair red lingerie with other complimentary colors like gold, black, and white.
Don’t take my word for it though, check out some of the other amazing women and individuals who have been kind enough to allow us to share their beautiful intimate boudoir photos.

We know choosing what to wear for your boudoir photos is not always an easy decision. We always recommend you communicate with your boudoir photographer to ensure that your set, lighting, furniture, and poses are all in line with each other and your photographer or styling team may have suggestions as well.
