Experience has taught us that fashion always finds a way to recover old garments and re-propose them in new combinations so that they find space among the new seasonal trends: in many cases, items fished out from vintage offerings remain firmly at the top of the fashion must-have list for much longer than the duration of a single collection.
This is the case for women's bodysuits, which, from being an item typically associated with the world of lingerie, sportswear, or dancewear, have gone on to achieve great success as versatile garments to be mixed in various ways, for day and evening, for daily looks and special occasions.
Let’s discover how to best choose and style bodysuits by following the style tips from Artigli!
How to choose the right bodysuit: sleeve length, fit, and shape
Let's start by clarifying that there are different bodysuit models: sleeveless bodysuits are those used under jackets or worn in the summer, a season also perfect for bodysuits with thin or slightly wider straps.
There are versions of bodysuits with sleeves, with varying lengths, to be precise style allies throughout the year. In solid colors or available in various patterns, with special appliqués, lace inserts, or elaborate necklines on the front or back: in short, there are bodysuits to satisfy the tastes and needs of every woman.
How to choose a bodysuit based on your body shape? It is undoubtedly a very tight-fitting garment, designed to wrap around and highlight curves. One must pay great attention to choosing a model that does not flatten the décolleté and that does not squeeze too much, creating the image of a body stuffed into a garment that should, on the contrary, make us feel at ease.
To be sure you are buying the right bodysuit, there are a few tips to keep in mind: those with a small bust can opt for bodysuits with pre-molded internal cups, avoiding the bulk of a bra, while those with generous curves can choose a bodysuit that is not too tight, paired with an oversized jacket or cardigan—a winning and comfortable mix.
Let's also talk about bodysuit combinations: this feminine garment pairs perfectly with wide and oversized pants and skirts. A major trend is the mix & match, which features items in the same outfit that are more form-fitting, such as the bodysuit, and loose garments like high-waisted palazzo pants or a pair of practical cargos.
Let's also take a look at the main color combinations: a white, black, or "neutral" colored bodysuit can be easily paired with any other color, while one must be careful when mixing bodysuits in bright colors or with special patterns.
To avoid mistakes, let’s be guided by the color wheel and our own personal color analysis season.
How to style a bodysuit to create streetwear or glamorous looks
A simple, monochromatic bodysuit becomes the basic garment to start from to compose a comfortable streetwear look that doesn't sacrifice a touch of chic: bodysuit with denim bermudas or shorts, walking slides ready to accompany you everywhere, and an open shirt to complete the outfit on days when the temperatures aren't particularly high.
The high-cut bodysuit that reveals the hip is the most appreciated by those who make new trends a daily expression of style: this element can be combined perfectly with a pair of practical jeans, a pair of sandals or high-heeled pumps, and a colored blazer that creates a rather glamorous color contrast with a bodysuit, which should be chosen in a neutral color or classically white or black.
How many times have we thought about wearing a sheer dress, only to give up when we realized we didn't know how to overcome the excessive transparency.
That is precisely where the bodysuit comes to our aid; choose it strictly in a colored version to create color continuity with the dress it will be worn under, or to create color contrasts that personalize the style.
Wide jeans and a denim jacket to face spring and autumn with grit: to break the monotony of the total denim look, a colored bodysuit comes into play, to be chosen with long or short sleeves or even one-shoulder depending on the occasion and the features we want to highlight.
To elongate the figure thus composed, a pair of high—no, very high—sandals will do the trick. The bodysuit with a collar is not only an excellent under-jacket piece but also proves to be a perfect style ally to replace a top when you want to wear a high-waisted skirt or pants and want to avoid the annoying feeling of the garment constantly moving while we move.
The bodysuit remains firmly in its place, helping to delineate and enhance the silhouette.
