Everyone has the one fashion tip they swear by, some of them more niche than others. I’d argue, however, that this one is nearly universal—bodysuits make every outfit so much better. It’s an easy-to-execute styling tip in that it doesn’t require adding anything extra to your outfit (you were going to put on a top anyway, right?). What's so great about bodysuit outfits is the idea of swapping your average T-shirt (which tends to bunch up, wrinkle, and shift around in general) for a top that’s held in place at the bottom, thus creating a smoother look, which instantly makes your outfit look more put together.
Bodysuits are the kind of garment that can be worn with just about anything, for any occasion, because there are so many variations to choose from. It’s impossible to put them in a box, which makes them just the kind of thing to shop for if you’re working on building a smart wardrobe. So, if you’re in the market for the one fashion item that will make your life easier and your wardrobe better (and aren’t we all?), keep scrolling for 18 different ways to style bodysuits, and the best options on the market right now.
