What Should You Wear as a Cam Girl?

When getting ready to go live on Peeks, figuring out what to wear can feel like the biggest decision of your day.

Should you go full glam in lingerie? Keep it casual with a crop top? Dress up as a naughty nurse? What works best depends entirely on your niche, your audience, and the kind of live sex cam girl you want to be. And yes, your clothes (or lack thereof) can be just as important as your camera, lighting, and setup.

Join us at Peeks Social as we break down what to wear for different niches, what your viewers might be expecting, and how to stay true to your brand while still playing the game smart.

Why Your Niche Dictates Your Outfit

Before you start throwing fishnets and corsets on your bed, ask yourself: what kind of content do I actually want to make?

Your outfit should match the energy of your show. If you’re doing soft GFE-style streams, a full dominatrix look with leather and latex might send mixed messages. If you’re filming humiliation content, you probably don’t want to be wearing a smiley-face hoodie.

Think of your cam wardrobe as part of your branding. If you haven’t yet figured out your on-cam persona, now’s a good time to start. We wrote a full guide to creating your cam character that’s worth reading before you build your wardrobe.

Classic Lingerie

If you’re ever stuck on what to wear, you can’t go wrong with lingerie. A lace bralette, matching thong, and a silky robe never fail to win audiences over. Not only does lingerie flatter most body types, but it also gives viewers a sense of intimacy without giving it all away at once.

Stick to colours that work with your skin tone and lighting setup — rich reds, deep purples, black lace, or pastel shades all look great on camera. Add stockings, a garter belt, or heels if you’re going for full seduction. But honestly? A soft set and messy bed hair can sometimes outperform a full glam look.

Lingerie is especially effective for those doing:

• 18+ tease and strip shows
• GFE (Girlfriend Experience) content
• Private 1-on-1 chats

Casual Looks

Don’t sleep on the girl-next-door aesthetic.

Oversized hoodies, sports bras, cute knickers, gym shorts, crop tops, knee-high socks — these can work just as well as lingerie, especially for a playful or “just hanging out” kind of vibe. Casual wear makes viewers feel like they’ve stumbled into something private, and that’s half the fantasy right there.

Also, who knows how long your stream will go on for, so at least you’ll be comfy. And if you want to spice things up mid-stream, you can always peel off layers slowly — and make them pay for the privilege.

This look works well for:

• POV or boyfriend-style shows
• Feet and sock fetish content
• Low-key daytime streams where you’re still building comfort with your audience

Costumes & Roleplay Outfits

If you’re the kind of cam girl who loves getting into character, costumes and themed outfits are a no-brainer.

Whether it’s a sexy nurse, schoolgirl, librarian, secretary, or even a sci-fi cosplay moment, the right outfit can rake in those cosplay-loving viewers.

Roleplay works because it taps into specific fantasies, and those fantasies come with expectations. If you’re catering to geeky audiences, think Harley Quinn, Catwoman, Spider-Woman… you get the idea. If you’re an older woman going for that sexy schoolteacher look, you’ll need a low-cut white shirt, glasses, and a tight pencil skirt. Throw in some dirty talk and a ruler and you’ve got a top-performing stream.

Wigs, props, and even subtle lighting changes can help sell the fantasy. If your audience is already paying attention to detail, give them a full experience to get lost in.

Domme & Fetishwear

If you’re in the kinkier end of the pool, fetishwear isn’t optional — it’s expected. Leather harnesses, latex, PVC bodysuits, fishnets, thigh-high boots, collars, gags, gloves, or even military-style gear… it all depends on the flavour of your content.

Domme, JOI, foot worship, SPH, and BDSM-centric streams all demand a certain look — and your audience is probably paying extra to see it. You don’t have to go full latex right away, but adding just one bold item (like gloves or a collar) can elevate your presence massively.

Just remember to always match your tone and outfit. Wearing spiked heels while speaking softly won’t land. If you’re dressed like a boss, act like one. And if you’re going to command tips, look like someone worth tipping.

Final Tips for Nailing Your Cam Style

 

• Lighting — dark colours can disappear without proper lighting. Test everything on cam before you go live.
• Comfort — if it digs, rides up, or itches, you’ll fidget — and that kills the experience for both you and your viewers. Choose clothes you can move and sit in naturally.
• Start with layers — the more you wear, the more you can tease.
• Don’t be afraid to repeat outfits — if something works, work it again. Familiarity is a good way to build fan loyalty in the early stages of your career.

If you’re not into a certain look, don’t force it. Your viewers can tell when you’re feeling yourself — and that’s what they’re really paying for.
