A Guide to Wearing Bodysuits

Bodysuits are the latest trend to take over the fashion world. If you find this surprising, you’re not alone. One-piece bodysuits conjure flashbacks to 70s jazzercise videos filled with ladies sporting tights, leg warmers and the iconic neon leotard. Many people assume bodysuits got buried in the past alongside dusty boxes of VHS workout tapes (we all remember those, right?).

Well, those people are wrong! The bodysuit started off as athletic attire, but it’s changed a lot since then. Bodysuit style in the present day makes it cool to pair this staple with jeans, shorts, blazers, cardigans, anything really. You can wear it over clothes, under clothes or with no clothes at all! The combinations of bodysuit outfits are endless.

Bodysuits are so versatile, yet many struggle to style them. The top is different from anything else in your wardrobe and can leave you wondering what to wear with it. Neva fear—our bodysuit tips will help you rock that one-piece with confidence!

Different Types of Bodysuits

Before you pick out a bodysuit, let’s go over the different types and how to wear them.

Many of the bodysuits you’ll find are meant to replace a normal shirt. They’re available in solid colors or graphic print, one-shoulder or turtle neck, lace up or button down—you get the idea. What all these bodysuits have in common is they’re worn as tops to create a smoothing, seamless look. You don’t have to tuck a baggy blouse into your pants anymore. Bye-bye, bunching!

Women’s bodysuits are designed to hug curves and flatter your physique. Thanks to this shaping effect, bodysuits make great undergarments beneath any outfit. Some bodysuits offer light compression to help women look their very best in pencil skirts and body con dresses. These undergarments often have built-in bras to give your gals a little extra boost. A bodysuit is the only piece that slims and supports at the same time!

There are also different ways to put on a one-piece bodysuit. Some are made into one seamless piece, although this can make it difficult to put on and peel off. Thankfully, bodysuits have evolved to the point where they now wrap around your bottom and secure with poppers. These handy flaps let you go to the bathroom without needing to get completely naked!

How to Dress Fancy with Bodysuits

Dress to impress with a bodysuit outfit! Bodysuits are the perfect slim-fitting piece to complement long, flowy skirts. A black bodysuit can look sexy and alluring when you layer it with a floral wrap or furry shawl. Bodysuits give you something to wear on top so your statement pieces can really shine.

Of course, a bodysuit can be a statement piece in its own right! Keep the rest of your outfit subdued with a simple, knee-length skirt or dress pants in a solid color. Skip the jacket so you can flaunt a bodysuit with sequins, embroidering or a plunging neckline. Much like a regular shirt, there’s no limit to how much you can dress up bodysuits!
