Leg Avenue Women's Bodysuit

Product Information

They’re typically slim-fitting in silhouette since wearing one prevents any unnecessary bulk when worn under pants or skirts. The bulk that came with everyday dress didn’t relate to the modernization of English society at the time, as women demanded more practical clothes. Jeans: Considered the simplest way to style bodysuits, this outfit combo provides the illusion of a cohesive ensemble. Bodysuits are seasonless garments. Depending on the cut, they can be worn from winter through summer. They’re usually paired with other garments since most one-pieces feature a swimsuit silhouette. Moving forward, we’ll discuss how to wear a bodysuit. How to Wear a Bodysuit Considering their flexible nature, most bodysuits are washing machine-friendly. They’re best washed in cold water and with a gentle detergent to help maintain their quality.

What We Love: This option smoothes out any small bumps to create a singular line from waist to legs. Dresses and tops with low-hanging fronts require shapewear with an open bust, if you plan to wear it underneath. With the bust portion uncovered on this piece, you have some more freedom to show a little cleavage, should you wish to do so. Boyshort undies: Bodysuits are best worn with thongs, Brazilian briefs, and bikini underwear. Anything that offers additional coverage will result in a bizarre silhouette when paired with one-pieces. The versatility, practicality, and comfort were unequivocally unmatched compared to other notable garments at the time, which led to further re-takes of the bodysuit.

Of course, which one you choose will heavily depend on your current aesthetic. For instance, clothing styles like maximalism and minimalism offer their own takes on the classic strap suit. How to Style a Bodysuit We’ve discussed this sculpting bodysuit many times in the past, even naming it the best shapewear that Skims has to offer, which, for a shapewear-heavy brand, that’s a tough feat.

Belts: The best bodysuit outfits include a stylish belt to help cinch in the waist. You can choose from a variety of designs, including the thin strap or the chunky ‘cowboy’ cut.

The shorts claim to have a 400 percent stretch to them that adapts to your body, and therefore only comes in one size that covers bodies from zero to twelve in regular and petite. When we tested this on different body types, we did find this claim to be quite true, but we could imagine some sizes at the end of the spectrum (double zero and twelve and up) might not find it to fit like a glove. New to the one-piece universe? If so, we’ll teach you how to wear a bodysuit using 11 different outfits. We’ll also discuss some other topics, such as: The number one rule in choosing the right shapewear for you, as Palep explains it, is to “not go tighter than your size in hope of ‘extra shaping.’” Shapewear will already come with sculpting effects, and sizing down will only cause discomfort. Instead, consider the occasion you hope to wear this to and choose whether you are in need of shorts, a bodysuit, or a bodysuit with shorts attached. Denise advises to consider the compression level, as you want to “be sure it’s holding you in at the right spots and letting you breathe everywhere else.” Not everyone wants the same level of compression, she continues, so decide whether you want to be cinched in or simply smoothed over, and shop accordingly. What We Don’t Love: While the top portion is impossible to spot under clothes, you can see the seams of the bottoms if worn with leggings or very tight pants. What We Don’t Love: You can definitely see it from underneath your clothes, so you can’t wear it with form-fitting pieces.For shapewear with level three compression, this open-bust shaper feels surprisingly buttery soft and comfortable. It glides on like any other shorts, then can be pulled over the shoulders with adjustable straps. We never had to perform a wiggle dance to get these on — an appreciated detail for something so sculpting. At a compression level of two, which describes how compressive the garment is, and goes up to level three (so, basically, this one has mid-range compression), the bodysuit smoothes the skin, without feeling too tight or sacrificing comfort. We wouldn’t turn to this bodysuit for exaggerated effects — it won’t take inches off your waist — but it does lightly cinch in our waist, give our chests a gentle push, and our bottoms a sweet little plump. The fabric is so kind on our skin, due to its soft touch, that it’s easy to forget it’s even on. The extremely lightweight material disappears under any clothes, even form-fitting ones, so we never have to worry about panty lines peeking through any skinny jeans or bodycon dresses. We loved how this shapewear evened out our bodies to create a smooth figure, but more than that, we adored how near-invisible it felt once on. We practically forgot we had it on thanks to the extremely comfortable fabric. The only reminder of its existence was that the shorts tended to show from underneath a mini dress as they are a bit long. And going to the bathroom requires a bit of patience with this one; the crotch does have two flaps that can be pushed aside when you have to go. But unless you are extremely skilled at maneuvering through this opening, you will be required to take the whole piece off to use the toilet, which can be a major hassle. We had rather mixed feelings about this, as it took some patience and practice to use the opening flaps. We almost preferred taking the whole thing off, however time-consuming, just to not ruin the shapewear in the process of using the toilet.

When worn underneath a dress, it successfully blurs out any dimples, while also forming a clean line from our hips to our thighs, with nothing hinting at any garments underneath. It reached down to our mid-thigh level, but on petite women, this can feel a little longer. The silky-feeling fabric even feels great on the skin and doesn’t leave us ready to tear it off our bodies after a long day’s wear. And in the process of removing it, we found that the shorts roll off like butter in one swift movement. Once off, we did however notice some markings on the skin around the waist where the band was.

Pulling the shapewear on and off also felt like a breeze. We snapped ourselves in with the crotch closure (which never rode up uncomfortably), and at the end of the day, it simply rolled right off once we unsnapped the bottom. For our small chests, we noticed that the straps created a bit of a lift, giving our girls a nice look without the need to turn to push-up bras. What We Love: These biker shorts are very gentle and lightweight, making them a perfect summer option. The matching skirt provides that fit-and-flare shape, which is great if you want to achieve an hourglass figure. This ‘how to wear a bodysuit’ guide highly recommends topping the look off with a pair of chunky sandals.
