The bodysuit is to your lingerie drawer what the classic wrap dress is to your wardrobe—it’s a real style chameleon. Yet, I know it’s a piece that feels daunting to some. Compared to separates, a bodysuit can – to begin with – take a little more mental effort. Especially when it comes to considering the ‘practicalities’…
“What do you wear under a bodysuit?” (…Entirely your choice.)
“How do you go to the bathroom in a bodysuit?” (…You’ll figure it out fast enough.)
And, “Are bodysuits comfortable?”
All very valid questions. But the truth is: the right bodysuit makes you feel like you’ve got your s*** together in one stunning swoop. It’s the ultimate power piece, layering effortlessly and elevating your look in seconds.
Think of it as your secret weapon—glamorous enough to turn heads, yet versatile enough to fit seamlessly into your everyday wardrobe. Whether it’s date night, pulling a power move, or easing into a lazy Sunday on the sofa, the bodysuit is your go-to for chic, confident dressing.
Ready to learn 6 ways how to wear a bodysuit and nail effortless everyday glamour? Here are my favourite bodysuit styling ideas to inspire your next look.
- Back Details That Beg to Be Seen
A bodysuit with intricate straps or beautiful back detailing is way too stunning to hide. Let it peek out from beneath a cosy knit sweater for an effortlessly chic vibe. Think yoga-class comfort meets elevated athleisure—an all-time personal favourite of mine.

- Sheer Sophistication
Trade a basic tank top for a lace or sheer long-sleeved bodysuit. Push up the sleeves of your favourite sweater or jacket to reveal the delicate details beneath. It’s an easy way to inject sophistication into your wardrobe during the colder months while giving your outfit a fresh, elevated edge.

- From Boardroom to Bar
An underwired bodysuit fitted by bra size offers the perfect blend of structure and comfort, and effortlessly transitions from lingerie to outerwear. Pair it with a sharp tailored suit for a glamorous evening look, or create contrast by styling it with denim for a casual, textured vibe.
- Ballet-class Elegance
Channel ballet dancer style by pairing a minimalist strappy bodysuit with a soft, knitted cardigan or sweater. The clean lines of the bodysuit create a flawless silhouette under layers, making it an essential lingerie-drawer staple.

- The Dreamiest Sleepwear Alternative
Who says bodysuits are just for daytime? Slip into one as an ultra-comfortable alternative to nightdress or pyjamas. After a long day, pair it with a plush lounge set, then shed the extra layers as you slide under the covers. Say goodbye to twisting fabric and tangled trouser legs—this is sleepwear redefined.

- Luxe Layering for All-Day Glamour
For an edgy yet elegant look, layer a leather jacket or structured blazer over a lace bodysuit. Add statement jewellery, and voilà—you’re ready for everything from family brunch to cocktails with the girls.
Your Bodysuit, Your Way
Whatever your style, the bodysuit is the ultimate all-occasion lingerie staple. Whether you dress yours low-key casual for a day of self-care or style it up to command attention, there’s a bodysuit waiting to transform your wardrobe—and your confidence.
