Skirts: If you want to achieve that classic ballerina silhouette, we highly recommend wearing an accordion pleat skirt or a tutu-like petticoat.

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.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 Clothes like high-waisted jeans or flowy dresses with a band around the middle would function the best with this option. This option is far from seamless (consider the clasps and riffs) and would easily show when combined with form-fitting garments. On our short torso, we felt like the garment was half an inch too long, cutting into our butt and hips uncomfortably. At a compression level of three, it’s also quite tight and is not ideal for all-day wear. But if you want to show off your curves in all the best ways, this option helps you achieve that the best.

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. For those struggling to create a cohesive outfit, the best way to minimize wardrobe frustration is to consider the options available. Below, this ‘how to wear a bodysuit’ guide will provide a condensed list of cuts to choose from. 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. They’re typically slim-fitting in silhouette since wearing one prevents any unnecessary bulk when worn under pants or skirts. What We Love: They have very minimal contouring effect, and can be worn daily for some smoothing effect.

What We Don’t Love: You can definitely see it from underneath your clothes, so you can’t wear it with form-fitting pieces. The unbuttoned method: We’re fully aware of the uncomfortable nature of wedgies and camel toe. If you’re adamant about not buttoning your bodysuit, be prepared to wear a belt to prevent the gusset from riding up. Because you select your size based on your bust, anyone with a fuller bottom will notice the fabric feels a bit too constrictive around the thigh openings. It left marks on our thighs and felt less comfortable than other bodysuits we tried. On the other hand, the lace portion never seemed to bother us and looked rather chic as a going-out shirt when combined with a nude bra. Otherwise, the bra portion is completely sheer, and while it does have an underwire for support, it does not provide coverage to the nipples.

Tight shapewear might not be comfortable enough for everyday wear, but shorts that simply work to smooth out bumps can be worn daily. Yummie’s smoothing shorts slip on like butter. Even with a mild compression level of one, we appreciate that the shorts still effectively flatten any bumps along the legs. The two-ply hem and waistband also keep them from rolling or moving around. Interestingly enough, we found the most compression around the thigh instead of on the waist or belly. If that’s your spot of concern, then these options are great for you. They don’t act unlike regular biker shorts, which are easy to slip on and off. Since they are shorts, you just pull them down when it’s time to visit the restroom. With so much comfort, we found it easy to turn to them for our daily activities. Disposable fashion is so last season. Bodysuits, like any other wardrobe staple, should be viewed with some sort of respect. Their level of versatility is often valued, especially when you consider the number of impractical garments on the market.

OOPS!

At a compression level of one, these high-waisted shorts are an excellent choice for smoothing, rather than tightening, and evening out the body to create one sleek line from waist to legs. Made of lightweight and breathable materials, like nylon and spandex, we felt comfortable keeping them on for an entire day without ever feeling restricted (or overheated, for that matter). They slide on like any other shorts, then remain in place throughout the whole day. The anti-slip silicone strip around the waist also helps the material stay put, but we noticed that it never rubbed or tugged at our skin. It did, however, leave a few creases on the waist after removal. If you’re looking for a contouring effect, however, we recommend going for an option with a little more tightness around the stomach. This one simply guides the natural curve of your body but doesn’t do much tugging around your waist. 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: 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.
