9 Figure-Flattering Bodysuits That'll Make Your Summer Outfits 100% Cooler
As we begin to ease into summer, it's always worth doing a bit of a wardrobe rejig to refresh your outfit repertoire. All being well, we'll don dresses sans tights for the foreseeable, and knitwear will take a backseat to thinner, more summery tops. But though it may well be a year-round staple, there's one top trend we're planning on carrying with us into the new season: bodysuits.
Considered a must-have by fashion types, the bodysuit is, potentially, the most versatile item in your closet. With the ability to be worn just as seamlessly with slouchy jeans as it is paired with a leather pencil skirt, in the right hands, bodysuits are incredibly chic and will take you from morning right through to evening.
What we also find pleasing is the fact that bodysuits come in so many guises. From long-sleeve to straps and high necklines to low backs, you're guaranteed to find a bodysuit to suit you, whatever your usual top preferences may be.
To make it easier for you to find the perfect one, we've broken down the best summer bodysuits by their specific characteristics. Scroll below to see them, and soon you'll wonder how you ever got dressed without a bodysuit in the equation.
