Bodysuits

What is a lingerie bodysuit and how to wear it?

A bodysuit is distinguished by its construction: it’s a one-piece lingerie item that often replaces the bra + panties duo, with a convenient closure at the crotch. It hugs the bust and stomach for a smooth silhouette, avoiding the “riding up top” or “cutting line” effect under pants.

In terms of style, it’s easy to wear daily. Under a slightly open shirt, a blazer, or a cardigan, the bodysuit becomes a refined base, especially pretty with high-waisted jeans or a flowing skirt. Some also like to let a stylish strap, a low back, or a more graphic neckline peek through: just enough, without overdoing it.

Why choose lace, tulle, or sheer bodysuits?

Lace bodysuits emphasize delicacy: openwork patterns, detailed finishes, thin straps, or sleeves that outline the shoulders. It’s a way to add femininity to a covering piece, with an elegant and easy-to-wear look.

Tulle and sheer fabrics offer a more contemporary feel. Transparency can remain subtle, placed in the right spot, or become bolder with cut-outs. The idea isn’t to reveal everything, but to create balance: a delicate detail, a low-back line, a play of contrasts under a light shirt.

● Lace: romantic vibe, visible texture, refined patterns.

● Tulle: lighter, more graphic effect, often discreet under clothing.

● Mixed fabrics: lace + microfiber or cotton for a soft touch on the skin.

Sexy bodysuit or comfortable bodysuit: which occasion for which style?

A sexy bodysuit usually relies on lace, tulle, satin, a deeper neckline, or a more open back. It may also exist as an open-body version, with bolder construction details, while remaining elegant. Some styles are also available as thongs for an even more discreet line under clothes.

A bodysuit can also be more comfortable by choosing second-skin fabrics like cotton, microfiber, or jersey. It’s ideal for a long day, to wear under a jacket, or as homewear that still looks polished. Depending on the cut, it may feature a built-in bra, adjustable straps, or a more structured construction to support the bust gently.

Why choose a shaping or slimming bodysuit?

A shaping bodysuit is designed to smooth the silhouette discreetly. Thanks to materials like microfiber combined with elastane, it hugs the body, visually slims the stomach, and emphasizes the waist while remaining comfortable when well-fitted.

This type of bodysuit is often appreciated under a dress, fitted pants, or a close skirt, as it reduces lines and creates a cleaner look. Some models combine shaping effects with lace details, keeping a lingerie dimension, not just “functional.”

● Smoothing effect: tummy, waist, hips depending on the construction.

● Discreet look: reduced seams and fine materials.

● Comfort: supportive yet stretchy and breathable fabric.

Which cut to choose according to body shape?

There’s no universal perfect cut, but small details make all the difference. A small bust can be enhanced with a plunging neckline, low-back bodysuit, or thin straps that free the shoulders. A fuller bust will be more comfortable in a bodysuit with built-in cups and adjustable straps that support without squeezing.

If you like to highlight the waist, belted bodysuits with well-placed seams or shaping versions create a more sculpted silhouette. And if the goal is just a smooth look under clothing, a plain microfiber bodysuit with minimal texture often makes the difference.

How to wear a backless, sleeveless, or open bodysuit?

The backless bodysuit is a statement piece, especially when made of lace or tulle: it slides under an open jacket, blazer, or knit draped over the shoulders. In the evening, it can also stand alone with high-waisted pants.

The sleeveless bodysuit is an easy essential. It’s worn like a tank top, with jeans, flowing pants, or a skirt, and works perfectly for layering: light shirt, overshirt, cardigan.

● For a clean look: pair with high-waisted jeans or skirt

● To play with textures: lace bodysuit under a shirt, plain bodysuit under a blazer

● For a bolder look: open bodysuit with structured jacket while keeping a balanced silhouette

How to care for a lace or microfiber bodysuit?

A bodysuit lasts longer with gentle care. Ideally, wash by hand or in a mesh bag on a low-temperature machine cycle with delicate detergent. Heat is the enemy of fibers: avoid the dryer and opt for flat drying, especially for lace or microfiber bodysuits.

For shaping versions, avoid twisting the fabric: this preserves elasticity and reinforced areas. Store folded to maintain shape and prevent straps from stretching.
