Things to consider when shopping for the perfect bodysuit

Who doesn’t love a good bodysuit? They’re like a hug for your entire body, and hey, don’t we all look wonderful in these flattering but versatile little numbers?

It certainly doesn’t hurt that these comfy items are also currently lighting up everyone’s social media feeds as of late, with influencers, bloggers, and fashion icons alike all singing the praises of the varied styles and cuts of today’s modern bodysuit.

But before you rush off to grab your very own perfect body suit, it’s important to determine what your version of perfect would look like. After all, our bodies are all so wonderfully different, and it’s important to find comfort and practicality in this sea of garments. No one wants to buy a bodysuit for a night out only to find it’s a little bit too ‘bedroom only’ to wear out (unless you want that – in which case, you go for it!).

So, before you find your ideal bodysuit, consider some of the following questions to help make your search easier and more fun.

Where do you plan to wear your bodysuit?

While no one should ever tell you what to wear and when to wear it, it’s important to know a few more details about bodysuits before making a choice. If you’re planning to wear a bodysuit as an undergarment, you’ll have more freedom to decide on whichever kind you like.

But if you’re hoping to hide the fact that you’re wearing one, there are breathable cotton and silk options that look subtle while maintaining your comfort. For a night out, there are lace bodysuits that are very stylish and daring. But you may wish to wear a smart jacket or another garment over it to turn down the volume on the bodysuit just a little more.

What is your specific body type?

Let’s make one thing absolutely clear – this is NOT about judging or dictating what you have to wear based on your figure and shape. It’s about making these styles work well with your beautiful body shape to give it a little extra pop and help you feel as fabulous as possible.

It’s not as difficult as you may think to find a garment to complement your figure these days. In fact, the SKIMS bodysuit collection alone has helped to revolutionize a new movement of body-positive clothing for all shapes and sizes. It’s just a matter of knowing your body and what you want to achieve with a bodysuit.

There are necklines that accentuate your bust and cleavage, high-cut garments to tease long and voluptuous legs, and cuts that help to show off your butt while supporting its firmness at the same time.

How do you want to feel in it?

And we’ll end with the most important aspect of a bodysuit – how do you want to feel? Comfortable? Sexy? A little more toned? Supported in your lower back on days your bust feels a little too heavy? There’s no wrong way to answer this question. All that matters is that you look in the mirror, feel more confident about yourself, and walk with a little more swagger in your step!
