Christmas Boudoir Outfits for 2022

Christmas Boudoir Outfits for 2022

Styling a Christmas boudoir session is pretty easy. That said, a boudoir session with this theme is also among the easiest to make look tacky. The reason for this is mainly due to the fact that it’s easy to choose Christmas boudoir outfits and sets that aren’t styled well. Armature styling is the most common reason Christmas boudoir photos turn out cheesy. To help avoid tasteless images, I generally find that it’s best to adhere to a few guidelines which we’ll cover below.

That said, if you already feel confident in your ability to style your Christmas  boudoir outfits for your session, the following are some outfit ideas I’ve hand curated to help you get the best images possible from your session! 

  • Sweaters
  • Thigh High Socks
  • Teddies 
  • Babydolls
  • Robes

How To Style Christmas Boudoir Outfits For Photos

First, don’t think that every outfit you choose has to be specifically Christmas themed. You can absolutely choose an outfit or two of the red velvet lined with white fluffs variety, and maybe even a Santa hat in the right context. That said, you should avoid styling everything with overtly obvious lingerie and props.

A well styled Christmas boudoir outfit can be any lingerie that has winter vibes. The obvious styles that go along with this idea include winter garments like robes, sweaters and thigh high socks etc. Subtlety sprinkling in Christmas pops here and there is the way to style a classy Christmas boudoir photos.

Secondly, it’s also not a bad idea to try and find lingerie options in white, green red and gold as these are the traditional colors of Christmas. To this point, I strongly recommend you read this post about how to color coordinate outfits so you can also think about adding pops of these colors for subtle accents. Understanding how to color coordinate your Christmas boudoir outfits is arguably the biggest part making your photos tasteful.

The third and final guideline you should consider is the set (or background) of your images to complete the look. This can include having a Christmas tree in the area you want to be photographed. It can also include other things associated with the holiday like, Christmas lights, candy canes, ornaments, stockings, presents, a cup of hot cocoa, etc.

Sweater Ideas For Christmas Boudoir Outfits 

Sweaters are often one of the most overlooked Christmas boudoir outfits. The reason for this is because most women don’t typically think of sweaters as a sexy garment. What many fail to realize is when you get sweaters with the wide necks and pair them with your favorite panties, they give off a sexy, yet modest girl next door look. 

If you want to get a sweater for your photoshoot, also remember that these pair seamlessly with high socks. Knit socks in particular give off a very winter time vibe as will the sweater. By color coordinating your sweater, panties and socks with one another you can subtly style a Christmas boudoir outfit in a way that’s classy and tasteful. 

Examples

  • Banana Republic: Colleta off-shoulder sweater
  • Etsy: Loose knit handmade sweater
  • Venus: Boat neck cable knit sweater
  • Walmart: Wide neck sweater
  • Walmart: Crop top sweater

High Socks for Christmas Boudoir Outfits

High socks are another often overlooked accessory you should strongly consider for your Christmas boudoir photos. Almost everyone thinks to bring stockings to their boudoir photoshoot, but high knit socks will really take your styling to the next level for Christmas photos.

Not only will you be able to add additional color coordinating options with these socks you’ll also get access to additional posing options as you adjust and pull them up on camera.

Additionally, thigh high socks are also a fantastic accessory to consider if you have cellulite on your thighs you want to conceal. I strongly recommend everyone looking to do a Christmas boudoir session include at least one set of these in their outfits.

Examples

  • Etsy: Ivory knit over knee socks 
  • Etsy: Crocheted loose mesh over knee socks
  • Etsy:  Custom made wool thigh high socks
  • Walmart: Thigh high knit socks

Teddy Christmas Boudoir Outfit Ideas

Do This

Not This

Teddies are a really great lingerie choice for boudoir sessions. That said, there are some teddies specifically made and marketed for Christmas boudoir that I strongly recommend you NOT get for your session.

Most teddies marketed for Christmas are very cheap and tacky looking. Instead I’d recommend shopping for traditional teddies and select Christmas colors to tie them into the them. 

If the teddy by itself doesn’t give off enough Christmas vibes, you can pair the outfit with props like a Santa hat, candy cane or Christmas lights to sell the idea. Remember that tasteful styling is about subtlety. Overt styling choices are typically NOT classy choices.

Examples

  • Amazon: Emerald green teddy lingerie
  • Frederick’s of Hollywood: Saffron floral lace teddy
  • Walmart: lace and mesh teddy
  • Yandy: Seductive crotchless teddy

Babydoll Christmas Boudoir Outfit Ideas

Do This

Not This

Babydolls are similar to teddy lingerie for Christmas photos in that I strongly suggest you go with traditional styles over the ones marketed for Christmas. The Christmas babydolls tend to be very cheap looking and should generally be avoided for better photos. 

That said traditional babydolls can really enhance a lot of body types offering mild concealment of your tummy with sheer styles and maximum concealment with satin and other non see though materials. 

Babydolls are also a great way for women enhance their hips to waist ratio. This is because babydolls are often loose around the hips like a skirt which can exaggerate your hips as the material flairs out.

Examples

  • Frederick’s of Hollywood: Lara may lace babydoll
  • Etsy: White flyaway babydoll with lace top and see though mesh skirt
  • Walmart: Lace and mesh babydoll with front closure

Robe Ideas for Christmas Boudoir Outfits

Red Velvet Robe with black lace detail from Etsy shop LingerieFairytale

Another often overlooked accessory for Christmas boudoir photos are robes. These garments (and any anything else with an open front) pair exquisitely with bra, panty and garter sets.

I like to pair busy lingerie sets (like bra, panty and garters, teddyies, etc.) with non see though robes. Conversely I suggest you pair with very risqué underwear with see though robes to class up the robe without overpowering it.

If you  decide to go with a sheer robe option, it’s generally more pleasing to match your underwear color with the sheer robe. For example, it would be most flattering to pair a black sheer lace robe with a black thong and bra.  

Examples

  • Etsy: Red velvet robe with black lace details
  • Etsy: Long mesh see though robe
  • Etsy: Satin & fur deep burgundy robe
  • Sunday Citizen: Ribbed long cardigan
  • Walmart: Sheer long robe with puffy tulle 
  • Yandy: Provence long mesh and lace robe

12 Days of Christmas Boudoir Shoots

There’s something magical about doing boudoir photos during the Christmas season…maybe it’s the chilly weather that limits you to doing indoor boudoir photos. Or maybe it’s how cozy the glow of a fire, candles, & holiday décor can be…who knows?! Christmas boudoir shoots make an excellent gift. Here are 12 ideas for boudoir shoots that are sure to make your photos sizzle:

1. Night Shirts

A partially-unbuttoned night shirt is a perfect outfit for Christmas boudoir shoots. It’s reminiscent of opening presents on Christmas morning. Night shirts can be accompanied with all sorts of props, but they definitely fit a boudoir shoot in the bedroom or in front of the tree.

2. Santa Hat

A Santa hat lets your partner know that you are the gift giver and the gift. It can be paired with anything or nothing at all, making it as innocent or as seductive as you want it to be.

3. Socks

Hats & socks can be paired with anything…or nothing. Cozy winter socks can be paired with some sheets and a mug of cocoa for a warm, sensual look. Or fun, sexy Christmas socks can be paired with stilettos to make Christmas fantasies come true. The options are endless.

4. Mistletoe

A kiss beneath the mistletoe is a Christmas tradition, but a girl standing under a mistletoe is a kiss waiting to happen. Build the tension by holding this seasonal symbol of love in your hands in your photos.

5. Elf

Cuteness is sexy, and so are elves. Dressing like one can be fun, and it may better capture the character of some individuals who are looking for a more fun-filled, cute boudoir shoot.

6. The Perfect Present

You are a gift, so why not tie yourself up in a bow? Bows are the perfect outfit for any type of shoot. Companies like Yandy make bow teddies and they come in various sizes like misses or plus size. The photos of these were a little too spicy for me to post here, so I’ve just linked to them if you wanna get one. 😉

7. Presents Under the Tree

Add a few presents under the tree, stand or lay in front of it wearing the outfit a bow teddy, and you have yet another romantic scene that implies just what I said above – you’re a gift, ready to be unwrapped. I promise, if done right, it won’t be as cheesy as it sounds. 😉

8. Red and Green

It may seem obvious to bring red and green into the shoot, but Christmas-colored lingerie may be all it takes to make it a “holiday photo.” Color schemes can speak volumes without adding holiday-specific props that may not fit the theme.

9. Lights

Holiday lights create a beautiful glow that enhances skin tone as well as the Christmas spirit of a home. Wrapping yourself in lights or lying in a pile of lights creates a dramatic effect.

10. Candy Cane

The mouth can be a very sexy part of Christmas boudoir shoots, and a candy cane give you something to do with it. Even if it just holding it near the face, the idea that something will be eaten highlights the mouth and can pair perfectly with the right shade of lipstick and pout.

11. Fireplace

Like Christmas lights, fireplaces give a complimentary glow to skin, and the light from a fire can hide imperfections. It also creates a seductive area whether in the bedroom or next to the tree. Fireplaces scream Christmas because you-know-who will be coming down the chimney, and it provides a similar atmosphere to the bedroom.

12. Snow

If you’re really brave, you can travel to a snowy state and do an outdoor Christmas boudoir shoot. OR, grab a pile of clear crystal snowflake ornaments & hang them on a blue or tan background for an artist snow scene.

If you want photos like these, hurry and book your boudoir shoot now because there’s only ONE week to get them back in time for Christmas!!

50 interesting ideas for wrapping New Year's gifts

Vintage boudoir

There is very little time left before the New Year and it's time to think not only about gifts, but also about their beautiful and original packaging. In a previous post, I talked about Christmas traditions in Germany and mentioned that it is customary to wrap all gifts here, and the packaging is creative. I have to wrap 40-50 gifts every year, so I collect interesting packaging ideas in advance that I want to share with you. nine0003

You can go the simplest way and pack gifts in ready-made gift paper, such packages look, of course, beautiful. For packaging, it is better to use red or green paper, that is, the traditional colors for the New Year. To bring in the atmosphere of the New Year, it's a good idea to add New Year's symbols to the package - a pine branch, a New Year's ball, a snowflake, tinsel.

If you want to make your packaging unique and inimitable, but at the same time budget friendly, then the easiest way is to use kraft paper. With the help of ribbons, lace, stencils and, of course, Christmas tree branches, cones, Christmas balls. nine0003

Several gift wrapping ideas.

Chocolate and sweets are, of course, one of the most popular gifts for the New Year. They, too, can be presented not in a box from the store, but to make your own.

The next most popular gift is any drink. Here, too, there are a couple of interesting ideas to make an ordinary bottle fun and original.

This option is what is called "two in one".

You have already put your golden hands to making a gift and cooked marmalade or made a delicious vegetable snack. The original packaging will allow you to get an additional portion of complements. nine0003

Handmade soap, also a very favorite holiday gift for many.

Children's gifts require even more ingenuity, but at the same time they give room for the implementation of ideas.

And this is for "tasty" gifts

Men are the same children, only bigger ones. They also love gifts and will appreciate your ingenuity if you wrap the gift in an interesting way. For example, a man's shirt, a very banal gift, can be played with fun. nine0003

And these are the ideas of a gift packaging, for example, for a friend

And this is not quite a “sweet gift”, and a “semi -finished product” is a mixture for baking cupcakes

Give money for the New Year, in my opinion, mauvais ton. But if you have to do this, then you can try to avoid a banal envelope and make an interesting package.

I hope this selection of photos will help you find your own Christmas gift wrapping ideas.
