Bodysuits are a girl’s best friend. They create the perfect tucked look, are perfect for layering and are quickly becoming a closet staple.
If you’re someone who is nervous to try out a bodysuit whether you don’t want to deal with the snaps, you’re unsure about the fitted look or just don’t know how to wear them in multiple ways, you’re in the right spot.
Today I’m going to share some easy ways to wear a bodysuit as well as some of my favorite bodysuits to try out!
But first…
What is a bodysuit?
A bodysuit is a similar style to a swimming suit or leotard (or yes, a child’s onesie) that covers your torso and fits under your crotch, usually connected with snaps. It’s a one piece clothing item that functions as a top.
You’ll see a variety of different bodysuit styles from long sleeve to sleeveless, even strapless versions! They also come as a thong bodysuit or full coverage bottom styles. Bodysuits can come in a tons of different styles and fabrics that can work for any number of occasions.
The point of bodysuits is to give you a seamless tucked in look. You won’t get any bunching with bodysuits and never have to worry about your shirt coming untucked.

A turtleneck bodysuit under a jumper is a great way to wear one! Long-sleeve bodysuits and higher neck on this one gave me added comfort during a chilly day at a conference. The jumper was very fitted so the tighter fit of the white bodysuit was the perfect choice!

FAQs
To use the bathroom when wearing a bodysuit, all you need to do is unsnap the bottom, lift the flaps up so they don’t get splashed or sprayed and have at it!
If you’re in a rush you can always just slide the snapped area to the side but it’s actually just as easy to unsnap it than move it.
Some bodysuits have built in bras which are incredibly helpful in creating that seamless look. Others don’t but are double lined with a a lot of support so it may not be entirely necessary to wear one.
I do have some where I need to wear my own bra underneath. This will be a bit of a personal choice depending on your comfort levels and the style of your bodysuit.
There you have it! I hope the bodysuit outfit ideas help you feel confident jumping on the bodysuit trend. From dressy looks to everyday wear, there’s something for everyone!
