The Cool Top That Fashion People Always Wear With Jeans
There are only a handful of items that you can genuinely wear at any time of the year. Jeans are one of them, save perhaps on the few days when temperatures are at their highest (and you know how few of those there are). The other is bodysuits. Although it's considered a year-round staple, we find the bodysuit loans itself well to the cooler months, also, when you could use a little more insulation than usual. So we thought we'd put these two pieces together to come up with a selection of bodysuit-and-jeans outfits that can take you through the morning, noon and night.
The style set has already zeroed in on this formidable pairing and has been wearing their bodysuit-and-jeans outfits nonstop over the last few months. From ensembles that work for, well, work, to combinations that are perfect for sipping cocktails in, scroll on to see eight bodysuit-and-jeans outfits to try this season (and next!).
BODYSUIT AND JEANS OUTFIT IDEAS
1. ADD A BLAZER
Style Notes: Whether it's for a work meeting or you simply desire some more coverage, finish your bodysuit-and-jeans outfit with a blazer for instant sleek appeal.
Shop the look:
There's something so elegant about a crisp white blazer.
This is your sign to check out Reformation's brilliant denim.
2. LITTLE BLACK EVERYTHING
Style Notes: Although quieter than some of the trends we're seeing come through this season, all-black looks are more impactful than ever. Re-create Jessica's ensemble with an asymmetric bodysuit and a pair of trending wide-leg jeans.
Shop the look:
3. MAKE IT MONOCHROME
Style Notes: This season saw a return of monochromatic outfits on the runway, and one of the easiest ways to channel the black-and-white aesthetic is with jeans and a bodysuit.
Shop the look:
This cardigan looks so much more premium than its price-tag.
4. TRY A HIGH NECK
Style Notes: For the days when the chill sets in, opt for a high-neck, long-sleeve bodysuit, and pair it with a belted jacket (and jeans of course!) for a look that's cosy and cool in equal measure.
Shop the look:
Our editors really rate Abercrombie & Fitch's denim.
5. SLINKY STRAPS FOR AFTER DARK
Style Notes: Jeans and a nice top have saved us from more style dilemmas than we can count, so it pays to have a handful of pretty tops at your disposal should you need to assemble a night-out outfit in a hurry. In place of a camisole, why not try a strappy bodysuit?
Shop the look:
6. PAIR WHITE WITH WHITE
Style Notes: When done correctly, white outfits should look sophisticated and classy. Sylvie gets this balance so right with her combination of ecru jeans and a creamy bodysuit.
Shop the look:
A premium trench will serve your wardrobe every single year.
For winter, long sleeve bodysuits are high on my list.
7. WEAR A SOPHISTICATED TRIAD
Style Notes: Rosie Huntington-Whiteley wears bodysuits on the regular, and one of her favourite things to pair them with is denim. We've seen her sporting bodies with everything from midi skirts to this, a pair of classic skinny jeans.
Shop the look:
If you're forever re-tucking your top into your jeans, this bodysuit will be a life saver.
8. LOOK FOR ALTERNATIVE NECKLINES
Style Notes: While bodysuits often come in vest form, we're seeing more and more styles with interesting details, such as puff sleeves and on-trend sweetheart or square necklines.
Shop the look:
You'd be forgiven for thinking this bodysuit was a simple top.
