If there’s any brand (or founder) that’s famous for bodysuits, it’s probably Kim Kardashian’s lingerie and loungewear brand SKIMS. The brand's Fits Everybody Square Neck Bodysuit is one of the brand’s most popular bodysuits, made with double-layered fabric, a square neckline, and a thong back. With thousands of positive reviews, you can tell that peoplereallylove it. Many bodysuits can feel a little exposed, but this one is compressive and supportive, while still disappearing under pants and skirts.

When it comes to versatility, comfort, and price point (it's under $70), the SKIMS Essential Crew Neck Sleeveless Bodysuit is a winner, too. Paired with denim and heels, it’s perfect for an evening out; meanwhile, underneath a blazer and styled with trousers, you’re set for a day at the office. Plus, it comes in an array of seasonal colors, and the wicking fabric makes it a strong pick for the warmer months ahead.

T-shirt bodysuits are some of the most versatile options, as they give the illusion of a perfectly tucked-in T-shirt (no pulling or bunching necessary). With its crew neckline, thong back, and contour material, this one from SKIMS will help you nail the look. "I have a curvier body type and felt like [this bodysuit] accentuated my features without making me feel like a caged sausage," says former Byrdie editor Daniela Galvez. "I'm 5-foot-3 and since the torso area was pretty long, I didn't feel like it was too tight at the bottom; it was snug but not uncomfortable."

Old Navy has become the industry’s best-kept secret for quality basics, and this bodysuit makes the case. This style in particular comes in a variety of elevated neutrals and has a thicker strap that feels workwear-appropriate (in some cases). For under $30, you’ll want to add a shade—or three—to your cart ASAP.

For a lingerie-inspired bodysuit that works beyond the bedroom, you’ll want to balance coverage, comfort, and, of course, sex appeal, too. “Clients can have fun with wearing things out of their specific product type and truly express themselves in a way that’s truly unique,” says Gesuito. Juxtapose this black lacy piece with relaxed denim or cargo pants and a pair of heels for your next date night.

When it comes to corsets, it’s all about the fit. Jennifer Zucarini, founder of Fleur du Mal agrees: “Like bras, bodysuits are very fit intensive––we make a lot of styles that have structured cups and require multiple fittings to perfect,” she says. “We try to think about how our customer will be wearing our bodysuits––what she’ll be layering with.” Keeping that in mind, you can feel confident that this Fleur du Mal bodysuit with lining and boning will be a winner.

Fabric: 75% recycled polyamide, 25% elastane | Sizes: XS–L | Colors: Rose Pink, Black

Whether you’re at the office or seaside sipping a co*cktail, there’s something about a crisp white button-down that feels just right. Instead of dealing with the hassle of tucking and retucking all day long, opt for a bodysuit option as a smart yet stylish alternative. This one by Commando is sure to check all the boxes.

The prep aesthetic has been making its way back into our zeitgeist (hello, tenniscore!), and the polo bodysuit is a trend that aces the look. This option by The Range is undeniably chic and feels luxe in the espresso colorway. Style this back to linen trousers or a pair of a-line shorts, and you’ll be set for an it-girl-approved daytime outfit.

There's nothing quite like Aritzia's Babaton Contour Squareneck Bodysuits. Between the buttery soft fabric (which is as high-quality as it gets, by the way), aesthetic color options, and contoured fit, the style leaves little to be desired. Commerce writer Caitlyn Martyn has several iterations of this bodysuit in a number of colors. "Even though these bodysuits are considered a basic, I swear they elevate every single outfit I've paired them with," she says. "I especially love how opaque and smoothing they are—even when I wear the white color, I don't have to worry about body rolls or ribs peeking through."

Fabric:94% nylon, 6% elastane |Sizes:2XS–2XL with additional tall sizing |Colors:Black, White, Pearl, Taupe +more

If you like V-neck designs, this is a great bodysuit to add to your wardrobe. It's fitted to the body and features short sleeves, and we appreciate that it has snap closures at the bottom to make it easy to put on and take off. It comes in a range of neutral shades and pops of color, and because it fits close to the body, it makes for an excellent layering piece—it can be worn alone during warm weather or layered under a cardigan or jacket during the cooler months.

Fabric:95% modal, 5% spandex |Sizes:XS–2X | Colors:Black, Navy Blue + more

For the warmer months, you’ll want a tank bodysuit that’s light and breathable––and this one by Cou Cou has the perfect lingerie nod, too, for an extra special touch. If you’re looking for styling tips, Cou Cou founder Rose Colcord has some insight: “We designed our bodysuit for everyday wear, so it can literally be dressed down with sweats and some cute sambas or your favorite dress pants and kitten heels for Friday night wine with the girls. I’ve recently also been loving pairing it with jeans and The Crop Cardi.”

Fabric: 100% GOTS-certified cotton pointelle and French lace | Sizes: XXS–XXL | Colors: White

Spanx is, of course, famous for its quality shapewear, so you know that this bodysuit is going to hug and cling in all the right places. We also like that sizing runs up to 3X, which is more inclusive than some other options on this list. However, we'd say that we love it if it ran past 4X.

Fabric:77% polyester, 23% elastane; 100% cotton gusset |Sizes:XS–3X | Colors:Classic Black, White

If you like one shoulder designs or you're looking for something a bit unique, this is a great affordable option to consider. The double-lined bodysuit comes in a massive variety of colors, and we love that it can easily be dressed down for running errands or heading to a brunch date, or dressed up with something like leather pants and pumps for a night out. The teardrop cutout in the front adds a fun element to the design, and reviewers with both small and large chests say it looks quite flattering on their bodies. This affordable, stylish, and comfortable option is hard to beat—and considering how versatile it can be, we think you'll get a lot of use out of it.

FAQ

• How can you style a bodysuit?

  When it comes to styling, it’s totally up to you. “We love them under a [sweater], but our favorite of all is with an oversized blazer and blue denim,” says Katie Lopes, co-founder of the undergarment brandStripe & Stare.

  Most people wear bodysuits as a layering piece, but the possibilities are endless depending on your style and comfort level. And contrary to popular belief, not every outfit featuring a bodysuit has to be super sexy.

• Do you wear underwear with a bodysuit?

  If you’re curious about bodysuits but still wondering what kind of undergarments to wear with them, don’t worry, you’re not alone. Lopes says that it seems to be about a 50/50 split in terms of wearing underwear versus not wearing underwear with a bodysuit—at least in her office.

  If you Google around, there seems to be no official rule for whether or not wearing underwear with a bodysuit is a no-no or not, but Jene Luciana, author of"The Bra Book", did tellWell+Goodin an interview that “underwear with bodysuits is totally unnecessary and defeats the purpose." Plus, a cotton gusset (a feature on many bodysuits, but not all–so it’s worth looking out for) should keep things, um...breathable down there. In conclusion, do what makes you comfortable.

• What is a bodysuit?

  By definition, a bodysuit is a form-fitting or skin-tight garment that covers the torso and the crotch. For all you visual learners out there: Picture a one-piece swimsuit that’s designed so that zero seams show in the bottom half of the suit (this is why so many bodysuits have thong backs). The purpose of a bodysuit is to give the illusion of a completely seamless, perfectly tucked-in, and in-place shirt. Usually, bodysuits have a snap-close crotch that allows for easy removal for bathroom trips, but some are one continuous piece of fabric.
