Planning your outfits for a male boudoir or fitness photoshoot can be an exciting part of the process. Your clothing (or lack thereof!) plays a huge role in setting the mood, showing off your physique, and highlighting your personality. Whether you’re going for a classy and sophisticated look or sexy fitness vibe- here are some outfit ideas to help you get you started!

1. Athletic Gear

Athletic wear is perfect for a fitness-themed shoot, especially if you want to show off your hard-earned physique. Some ideas for outfits could be a tank top or compression shirt to show off your muscle definition on you arms and chest.

Gym shorts and joggers offer a laid back and casual vibe and paired with a set of sneakers; captures the theme of the shoot quite well. Props such as weights, towels and water bottles add a special touch to the fitness theme of this style of shoot.

2. Ripped or Distressed Denim

The timeless combination of jeans and a white t-shirt is effortlessly cool and masculine. It’s a casual look that translates well to a boudoir setting while keeping a hint of mystery. Try:

  • Shirtless Denim: If you want to show off your physique, opt for a shirtless denim look. It’s sleek and sexy, while also maintaining a casual and candid vibe.
  • Open Button-Down Shirt: A button down shirt is great and can offer a variety of options from having it buttoned up, or showing off everything underneath. It’s simple yet versatile.

3. Underwear

For a minimalist and intimate boudoir look, choose well-fitting boxers or briefs. This look is super sexy and laid and while highlighting your body’s natural shape.

  • Black or Neutral Tones: Black, grey, or dark blue underwear creates a classic look, whereas white or neutral tones soften the vibe. Wear a spot of colour like red or blue for a more cheeky, adventurous look.
  • Minimal Accessories: This outfit is best kept simple. If you’d like to accessorize, a wristwatch or leather cuff adds a touch of interest.

4. Suit or Blazer Set

For a more sophisticated boudoir look, nothing beats a suit or blazer. This outfit highlights your confidence and brings an elegant, refined energy to your photos. Some styling tips:

  • Suit Jacket Only: Pair a suit jacket with either bare skin or a fitted t-shirt underneath for a suggestive yet tasteful look.
  • Dress Pants or Slacks: Wearing the complete suit minus the tie conveys a “relaxed elegance” that works well in a boudoir setting.

5. Track Pants

Nothing speaks ‘lounging around at home’ like a pair of tracksuit pants. They’re intimate and casual- plus they offer a sense of candidness to your photoshoot.
You can match your track pants with some contrasting underwear for an element of tease.
