How to Style a Bodysuit: 5 Tips and Tricks

 Bodysuits are everywhere these days: in your favorite online stores, on the racks at the mall, and the runway at high fashion shows. Bodysuits are very much in, and they’re going to stay that way for a while. Women’s bodysuits can be challenging to style, though. Here, we’ll take a look at some common ideas, tips, and tricks to help you get the most out of that amazing bodysuit you just can’t get enough of. 

Bodysuit Layering

Bodysuits range in style from sheer to sexy, creatively cut to casual. The type of bodysuit will determine how you layer it, but one thing is true no matter what: your bodysuit is your bottom layer. Bodysuits make any type of layering a breeze, as they present a solid base level for pants, skirts, sweatshirts, and more. 

You can use a lingerie-like bodysuit as a bottom layer when you need a little bit of naughty energy, or go with standard black when you want a clean look that goes well with jeans. Choose the right shoes for your bottoms – sneakers or heels, usually – and you’re ready to go! 

Smooth Lines Are Everything 

One of the biggest advantages to a bodysuit is the clean, sleek silhouette you can achieve with the right type of bodysuit. Whichever type of bodysuit you choose, pair it with bottoms that showcase the smooth, well-constructed lines they create. 

Choose high-waisted bottoms when you can to help promote this feature. High-waisted shorts, shirts, and pants draw the eye to your waist, which is where your bodysuit will be doing a lot of work. Of course, you want people to notice!

However, you choose to style your bodysuit, make sure to emphasize clean lines.

Avoid Panty Lines

The cut of the bodysuit matters, especially when you want to eliminate panty lines. Thong-cut bodysuits can be an asset, but you can also go with a full-coverage bodysuit. These are a little more difficult to find, as they have to fit perfectly. Full-coverage options generally don’t work for taller women or those who have longer torsos. Even full-coverage bottoms can ride up if they don’t fit just right, which can create panty lines where you’d rather not have them. 

Make sure to check yourself out in the mirror before you go out in your bodysuit. Eliminate panty lines as best you can – after all, they can make your smooth lines a little less perfect. 

Try Different Necklines

The popularity of bodysuits has led to a flood of them in most stores and online retailers. You can play it safe, but mixing it up is also a great option. Choose bodysuits that come with detailed necklines, mesh details, and more. Lace-up bodysuits are particularly popular, as they mimic all of the features of more expensive blouses, but with much cleaner lines. After all, the top of the bodysuit is what really makes it stand out. 

So why not emphasize that? Choose bodysuits with a ton of different neckline options and styles. Once you find a type that works well for you, make sure to play around with that, too. There are dozens of options waiting for you to discover! 

Be Confident! 

Bodysuits cling to your body. They’re very snug and feel a lot like wearing a swimsuit sometimes. With these features, it’s easy to get bashful about wearing them. This is especially true if you’re styling a lacy or lingerie-style bodysuit. 

It’s important to accept the bodysuit and resolve to rock it. After all, bodysuits provide benefits to just about any body type. They are slimming, they enhance your curves, and they show off your skin where you’re comfortable with it. 

Don’t be afraid to get comfortable! You’re going to look great in your favorite bodysuit no matter what, so you might as well enjoy it. 

Conclusion

The bodysuit trend isn’t going anywhere. With the surge in different types, styles, colors, and cuts, women’s bodysuits are going further than ever before. Now is the perfect time to find the ones you like and style them in ways that make you happy. Being comfortable and confident is half the battle, and bodysuits are made to make you look good!
