During cold weather, a bodysuit is an ideal wardrobe item: no suddenly exposed lower backs or other discomfort. Many people still perceive the bodysuit as an element of underwear, which serves rather as an additional layer of clothing, although it has long moved into the category of a self-sufficient item.
Once again this fact was proven by the Russian brand BodyPoetry, releasing a collection of bodysuits dedicated to famous supermodels from Veruschka to Daria Werbova. The founder of the brand, Maria Kolosova, did not limit herself to basic models, relying on variety: here are tight bodysuits with unusual cutouts and voluminous body blouses. Hiding such beauty under clothes is the last thing, so we have put together four sets for different occasions, in each of which the bodysuit plays a leading role.
To work - with trousers and a jacket
BodyPoetry bodysuit, RUB 12,600, Gerard Darel trousers, RUB 5,500, Zara jacket, RUB 6,999, L.K.Bennett shoes, RUB 16,500, Kate Spade New York bag, RUB 18,500.
In fact, a bodysuit can easily fit into an office wardrobe - just like a regular turtleneck or knit top. The main thing is to choose minimalistic models of basic, calm colors, without unnecessary decor and unexpected surprises in the form of a too deep cutout on the back or mesh inserts. And pay attention to the composition of the fabric - you should feel comfortable throughout the day, so it’s better to avoid heavy synthetics. It is advisable to have several simple bodysuits in your wardrobe so that you can wear them to work every day: with trousers, a pencil skirt or a suit.
On a date - with a minimalist skirt
BodyPoetry bodysuit, RUB 13,600, H&M skirt, RUB 14,999, INC International Concepts ankle boots, RUB 3,000, Ainea fur coat, RUB 19,200, Hultquist-Copenhagen earrings, RUB 1,400.
The ideal option for a date is a bodysuit in a spectacular bright red color, with an unusual cut, but at the same time leaving room for imagination. To avoid looking too provocative, balance such a bright item with something calmer - for example, a white leather wrap skirt. To make it even more convincing, complement the look with ankle boots and socks that match the skirt, but don’t go overboard with the details: large jewelry or bright lipstick will be superfluous in this look.
For a party - with leather trousers
BodyPoetry bodysuit, RUB 17,300, Iris and Ink trousers, RUB 31,500, Marc Jacobs sandals, RUB 19,000, Jules Smith earrings, RUB 1,800, INC International Concepts clutch, RUB 3,600.
A bodysuit is by no means always a simple knitted top that fits your figure. One of the varieties of this wardrobe item is a kind of hybrid of a bodysuit and a smart blouse or shirt. This item is perfect for dancing all night long: you don’t have to worry that at the most inconvenient moment the blouse will fall out of your trousers or skirt. For an evening out, you don’t have to limit yourself in your desire to dress up - the more unusual the bodysuit, the better. Let it be the main accent of the look, and you can complement it with perfectly fitting jeans and platform shoes.
Out of town - with a cozy cardigan and jeans
BodyPoetry bodysuit, RUB 11,900, Mango cardigan, RUB 2,300, Topshop jeans, RUB 3,000, Montelliana boots, RUB 22,700, Uniqlo down jacket, RUB 7,999
Another reason to wear an unusual bodysuit, for example, reminiscent of a pajama-style top, is a trip with friends or family out of town. To stay warm, throw a warm cardigan made of wool or cashmere over your bodysuit, and for comfort, wear your favorite jeans. This outfit is unlikely to be suitable for long walks, but it’s perfect for sitting by the fireplace and playing board games for many hours.
Bodysuits are clothes that appeared in the second half of the 20th century and, having suffered from an epidemic of mass popularity for several years, have firmly won their modest niche among other attributes of a modern wardrobe, both women's and men's. Moreover, men began to wear it either as underwear, or exclusively at sporting events.

At the top, the bodysuit looks like a blouse, blouse, top or T-shirt, so you need to wear such clothes based on the style of the top. For example, a body shirt will always highlight your thin waist, whether you wear it with a skirt or jeans.

There are incredibly many varieties of women's clothing. Sometimes even girls don’t know all the names. Today we will tell you what a bodysuit is. What are its varieties and what to wear with this intricate piece of clothing, read about all this below.
What is a bodysuit
These are clothes that are divided into two types: casual and underwear. The bodysuit looks like a closed swimsuit, but it is still not recommended to use it for this purpose. The bodysuit can have any style, sleeve length, or color. But not only girls use this wardrobe item. Bodysuits have entered children's fashion and even men's fashion. But still, the strong half of humanity puts on such an element of clothing very rarely. But women appreciated the bodysuit. And since demand creates supply, today various models of this clothing are produced, both summer and winter.
History of appearance
We understand what a bodysuit is, and now we’ll find out who came up with this interesting piece of clothing. The French acrobat J. Leotard in the 19th century was the first to create one-piece clothing, which consisted of shorts and a T-shirt. Gymnasts immediately appreciated the fashionable novelty. True, at that time such a swimsuit did not have fasteners. The designers liked the idea. In 1980, Donna Karan released his new collection, which included several bodysuits. Such clothes were noticed by girls who were engaged in fitness. But since for playing sports you needed the simplest, stretchy clothes, without unnecessary decorations, bodysuits were just that. Over time, lingerie manufacturers paid attention to this element of clothing. They decided that these clothes would replace both panties and a bra, and could also play the role of a corset. And soon the first collections appeared, where bodysuits began to be used instead of lower combinations. Over time, corsets were abandoned, and lingerie began to have more lace. And not so long ago, bodysuits began to be used as casual wear. Designers create various models, from elegant to casual. Today you can find any variety - from a sports swimsuit to an evening blouse.
Why has bodysuit become popular?
Women love everything new. What is a bodysuit? This is underwear. When it became an unusual and incredibly sexy new textile product, girls rushed to buy it. After all, every fashionista wanted to surprise men with her beautiful figure, dressed in lace. But still, such a combination was not very suitable for everyday wear, and what looks beautiful, but is not suitable for every day, girls automatically turn into clothes for a special occasion. So today, many brides are choosing bodysuits instead of lingerie for their wedding night.
Black bodysuits have especially taken root as casual wear. They themselves are very slimming, and even the slimming material helps to correct the figure. Singers often choose such clothes for their performances, for the reason that at the most inopportune moment they will not bunch up at the waist, as a blouse would.
Advantages and disadvantages
Today girls are divided into two camps. Some say that women's bodysuits are the best that designers have ever invented, while others generally despise this type of clothing. Let's objectively evaluate the pros and cons of this wardrobe item.
Advantages:
- The bodysuit will never get out of the jacket or pants. You can be sure of this, and when holding an important conference, you won’t be afraid that you can show off your bare belly in front of your colleagues.
- A bodysuit with sleeves can be worn as thermal underwear in winter. A warm combination can warm you even at -30 ⁰C.
- The bodysuit can act as a corset. You can easily adjust your figure by wearing this item of clothing under an evening dress. You can find seamless varieties that can be worn even under very tight clothing.
Flaws:
- Unusual to wear. Not all girls may immediately find such clothes comfortable. Of course, you get used to it quickly, but at first walking in a “swimsuit” will cause slight discomfort.
- Difficult to buy online. Unlike regular lingerie, which can be ordered knowing exactly your size, bodysuits need to be measured on. After all, it doesn’t quite follow growth. Everything will depend on the particular model of panties, which may be longer or shorter.
What types are there
There are many varieties of this item of clothing. Conventionally, they can all be divided into several categories:
- Lace bodysuit- This is basically underwear. Girls don’t combine it with anything, but wear it under everyday clothes. Very often such lace products are associated with erotic underwear.
- Body corset- such clothes correct the figure. Girls wear it under their dresses on holidays. For everyday wear, you can choose a corset with minimal tightening.
- Body pajamas- this type of clothing is only gaining popularity. Today you can buy such a thing in a lingerie store. At the same time, a comfortable and sexy “nightie” attracts girls with its appearance.
- Body turtleneck- women use such clothes as everyday clothes. The advantage of such a thing is that you don’t have to worry about the turtleneck getting pulled up at the wrong moment. This bodysuit also protects your lower back well from random drafts.
- With open back- girls can wear this bodysuit both as casual wear and as underwear. Everything will depend on the style. After all, it is often difficult to choose a bra under a dress with an open back. Therefore, a bodysuit can be an excellent alternative.
- Strapless- such a bodysuit is fashionable to wear as tops. Today, lingerie style is at the peak of popularity, so no one will judge a girl if she walks down the street in a fashionable new thing.
- Short sleeves- this type of clothing is similar to T-shirts. Only the difference again is that a women's bodysuit will not jump out of jeans and will not have to be constantly adjusted.
What to wear with
Versatile clothing can be combined with almost any bottom. She looks good with:
- Skirt. This set can be assembled in any style. A lace bodysuit complemented by a skirt will look festive. In this outfit you can go on a date or to the opening of an exhibition. But if you combine a turtleneck with a pencil skirt, you can go to work in this set.
- Jeans. Any type of bodysuit paired with iconic pants will look great. In this combination you can go for a walk with friends, and if you complement the outfit with a stylish jacket and accessories, you will get a completely stylish outfit for going to a club or a social event.
- Trousers. For classics, you need to select the appropriate top. You can choose a shirt or blouse combined with panties. Models with short sleeves would be quite appropriate. You can wear this look to an interview or a business meeting.
- Shorts. Short sleeve bodysuits are perfect for cool summers. On top, this combination can be complemented with a fashionable bomber jacket.
Don't be afraid, this post is not about body positivity. Today I'm sharing with you my new obsession - bodysuits.
As a child, a bodysuit for me was synonymous with debauchery and something forbidden. And no, not the kind with lace, languor and so on. The bodysuit was clothing of a different order: it reminds of anatomy. Either the top grows from the panties, or the panties from the top - all this is somehow incomprehensible to little me, and I was sure that bodysuits are worn by very strange women.
Popular
I didn’t understand whether panties were needed under the bodysuit. And if not? Oh, depravity, depravity. Oh, little conservative me.
In recent months I have been drawn to tight-fitting clothes - “hot and sexy”. Perhaps, looking at the photos of Kim Kardashian, Kylie Jenner and Bella Hadid, I caught the 25th frame, the crisis of 25 years, or inhaled some chemicals, which, of course, are sprayed by Kylie and the gang. But it’s a fact: I’m tempted to cover my body with thin, soft knitwear.
Trying on a bodysuit for the first time in your life is very funny, strange and a little embarrassing. No one should ever see you trying on a bodysuit over your cheerful pink panties and trying to fasten the damn buttons with clumsy hands. A woman in a bodysuit is “hot.” A woman plunging into a bodysuit is “not hot.”
The bodysuit gives an amazing feeling of calm: finally everything is tight and does not bulge anywhere. Nothing will jump out (although somewhere on the horizon I still see a scene of buttons insidiously unbuttoning and a bodysuit rapidly flying out of a skirt). But paranoia aside, bodysuits are for fans of control and comfort, even if you twerk while standing on your hands. All clothes will remain in place.
In general, you want to walk around in a bodysuit without any pants or skirts, wiggling your hips, but this is only for very domestic or riotous parties. You can also show off your bodysuit to the world by pleasing the photographer, but it’s better not to.
If you have a bodysuit, but no idea what to wear it with, then look for salvation in high-waisted jeans, all kinds of skirts and even sundresses, as well as slip dresses. It all depends only on the model of the bodysuit you choose. And wow. And I, alas, am not Vanga.
Well, if you don’t have a bodysuit, but want to, then look for something similar.
