Which bodysuit fits your day
First think about the occasion. For work, you often want a smooth model that stays invisible. For a night out, lace or a lower back can definitely stand out. Also pay attention to your closure. Snap buttons at the crotch make it practical. A good bodysuit should feel like a second skin, not like a negotiation with your waist.
Bodysuits with underwire for extra support
If you want lift and shape, choose a bodysuit with underwire. Your bust gets more definition and your upper body looks more streamlined. Handy under a blouse or blazer, as everything stays in place. If you have a fuller cup, also look for brands that focus on that, such as Elomi lingerie. They are known for strong, comfortable support.
Without underwire feels softer and more relaxed
Sometimes you just want comfort. Then a bodysuit without underwire often feels the best, especially on long days. Think of soft fabrics, wide straps, and a good underband that doesn’t roll up. Looking for the same relaxed feeling up top but don’t necessarily need a bodysuit? Then a bralette vibe works well too. Scroll through the collection of bralette bras.
Bodysuits with long sleeves as a styling hack
A bodysuit with long sleeves works almost like your secret styling trick. You wear it as a top over jeans, under a suit, or under a skirt. Because of the bodysuit shape, nothing rides up. It’s also great under an open cardigan, as your look stays sleek. Pay attention to the neckline. A round neckline looks casual, a deeper V feels just a bit more exciting.
A smooth look under clothes without hassle
If you mainly want a tight base under your outfit, a shaping or lightly sculpting bodysuit helps. It often targets the stomach and waist without making you feel 'wrapped up'. Pay attention to the edges at the legs and buttocks. Laser-cut or flat seams show less. If you’re unsure how much shaping feels good, read our advice on shaping underwear for your stomach. This will likely prevent a bad purchase.
Size and fit in plus size bodysuits
In plus size bodysuits, length counts just as much as circumference. If the bodysuit is too short, it pulls at the shoulders or crotch. If it’s too loose, you miss support. Therefore, carefully check the size chart, be sure about your own size, and pay attention to adjustable straps. If you have a larger cup, prefer a model with a real bra construction. This keeps your body comfortable, even after a long day.
Keep your bodysuit looking good longer
Wash your bodysuit on a gentle cycle and let it air dry. Heat wears out elastic quicker. Close hooks and buttons so lace and mesh won’t snag. And yes, a bodysuit can sometimes be your favorite item. That’s why it’s worth treating it kindly. This way, plus size bodysuits retain their shape and the fit remains reliable.
