After photographing lingerie sessions in Portland, I’ve noticed which styles consistently create stunning, engagement-worthy content. This year’s trending pieces aren’t just beautiful—they photograph exceptionally well, flattering diverse body types while giving creators that confident glow that translates through the lens. Whether you’re building your portfolio, growing your brand partnerships, or simply exploring what makes you feel powerful on camera, these are the styles Portland creators are choosing for sessions that truly shine. Here’s what’s working for photo shoots right now:
1. The Coquette Comeback: Bows, Ruffles, and Romance
Ultra-feminine details are everywhere. Think delicate bows, soft ruffles, and dreamy lace trims. Bows—big and small—adorn bras, panties, and even suspender belts, adding a whimsical, romantic touch to your everyday essentials. Ruffles and rose prints bring a sweet, vintage-inspired vibe that feels both nostalgic and fresh.
- How to wear it: Strappy white lace lingerie set with sheer garter skirt and thigh-high stockings or try a blush lace bralette with ribbon details, or a set with tiny bows at the straps for a playful, coquette-inspired look.
2. Red & Pink Take Center Stage
Move over, neutrals—is the year of color. Red and pink are the standouts, from soft blush and fuchsia to deep scarlet. These shades are everywhere: as bold statement pieces or subtle accents mixed with black, grey, or neutrals. It’s a celebration of passion and femininity, perfect for Valentine’s Day and beyond.
- How to wear it: Soft pink ribbed lingerie set with ruffle details and bow accents, or slip into a red balconette for instant confidence, or layer a pale pink mesh cami under your favorite cardigan for a soft, romantic touch.
3. Sporty Spice: Comfort Meets Chic
Minimalist, sporty silhouettes are having a major moment. Think seamless bralettes, clean lines, and athletic-inspired fabrics that hug your body like a second skin. This trend is all about feeling supported and free—perfect for busy days, lounging at home, or layering under your favorite streetwear.
- How to wear it: Minimalist gray lingerie set styled with open charcoal blazer or choose a high-apex neckline or a sleek, seamless set in a neutral or bold color. Pair with joggers or under a blazer for a modern, effortless vibe.
4. Corsetry & Vintage Revival
Corsets and bustiers are back—but with a twist. This year’s pieces blend vintage-inspired structure with modern comfort, featuring cropped lengths, stays-inspired boning, and soft, flexible fabrics. Balconette silhouettes and high-waisted panties also make a comeback, flattering every curve while channeling old Hollywood glamour.
- How to wear it: Deep burgundy structured corset top styled with high-waisted blue jeans, gold jewelry, and dark red lips or style a cropped corset top with high-waisted jeans, or choose a vintage-print balconette bra for a touch of retro elegance.
5. Earthy Tones & Pastel Play
While classic black and white remain timeless, 2024 introduces earthy hues—terracotta, burnt sienna, gold—and a palette of dreamy pastels like pistachio, lavender, and powder blue. These colors flatter every skin tone and add a sense of warmth and serenity to your lingerie wardrobe.
- How to wear it: Lavender lace lingerie set with matching sheer top, or mix a sage green bralette with ivory lace briefs, or embrace the energy of canary yellow or chambray blue for a playful pop.
The best part about these trending styles? They’re designed to make you feel confident the moment you step in front of the camera. I’ve watched Portland creators transform from nervous to radiant when they choose pieces that genuinely reflect their personality—whether that’s romantic lace, bold statement colors, or minimalist elegance. Remember, the most successful content comes from authentic confidence, not following every trend. Choose what makes you feel powerful, and that energy will show in every frame.
