Bodysuits Are the Key to Looking Put-Together—8 Outfits That Prove My Point

Sep 15,2022 | Slimershaper

For the longest time, I really didn't get the hype surrounding bodysuits. Surely they're incredibly uncomfortable. Wouldn't the cut give me VPL through my jeans? These are a couple of things that were holding me back from actually trying one. Then I did, and everything changed. Now, I don't wear bodysuits on a daily basis, but I do have a couple in my basics drawer which I think have elevated my outfits. That's right; elevated. Most are made from stretchy fabrications, which mould perfectly to your shape, making for a clean and fuss-free silhouette that allows for endless styling options. This is an easy starting point for a great outfit.

To better prove my point, I've assembled eight bodysuit outfit ideas I think showcase the staple at its best. From jeans and denim skirts to tailoring and statement prints, there's no pairing a bodysuit won't work with. Scroll on, I’ll show you.

1. Bodysuit + Demin Skirt + Boots

Style Notes: Bodysuits are great for styling with items where you want to ensure your top doesn't ride up. Pair with an on-trend denim skirt for a look that's simple but feels extremely current.

2. Bodysuit + Blazer Dress + Patterned Tights

Style Notes: Mini hemlines are all over the runway and market this season; whenever I wear something shorter than where my fingertips reach, I always pip a bodysuit on underneath for extra coverage and warmth.

Style Notes: Bodysuits loan themselves well to layering situations.

4. Bodysuit + Suit

Style Notes: Slouchy tailoring is still very much a thing this season; counteract the volume by wearing a simple, vest-style bodysuit as your top.

5. Bodysuit + Gilet + Jeans

Style Notes: There's no easier outfit than a bodysuit and jeans! Personally, I prefer thin styles so as to eliminate the cut of the suit from being visible through the denim. Ever the reliable layering piece.

Style Notes: Combine two of the above outfits to create this sleek blazer, bodysuit, and denim skirt triad.
