How to Pick Boudoir Outfits?
Before you can figure out how to pick boudoir outfits for your body type, you need to know what shape your body is so you can enhance your best features or down play areas you’re sensitive about.
Once you know your body type, you can then target lingerie styles that will enhance your unique features best. Most women fall into one of four primary body shapes:
- hourglass
- rectangle
- pear
- apple
Define Your Waist & Balance Your Proportions
All body types should avoid lingerie styles that don’t bring the body closer to an hourglass silhouette.
For those with rectangle, pear, or apple body shapes, the key is to select lingerie that helps define the waist while balancing the bust and hips.
For example, pear shapes have a larger butt and smaller chest, so someone with this figure would choose lingerie that would make their butt appear smaller and chest bigger to balance her proportions. This approach creates the illusion of roughly equal proportions between the bust and hips, bringing the overall silhouette closer to an hourglass figure.
