Leg Avenue Women's Bodysuit

Product Information

It’s easy to forget that these biker shorts are even on once you pull them on. They come with a minimal compression level — we couldn’t decide if they were more a level one or two —making them inviting for everyday use. The fabric itself feels lightweight and breathable. And while the brand describes the pair as “non-shaping”, we were pleasantly surprised to find it kindly molds our body shape and held in our thighs and midsection with gentle support. It worked its magic discreetly, though, disappearing underneath our clothes, and it never left a mark on our body after we took it off for the day. Bodysuits should feel durable under stress, whether that be bending, squatting, or the simple movement of the arm. Customers should also look out for other features such as gussets, zippers, and any stitching details. What We Love: They have very minimal contouring effect, and can be worn daily for some smoothing effect. Skirts: If you want to achieve that classic ballerina silhouette, we highly recommend wearing an accordion pleat skirt or a tutu-like petticoat.

The matching skirt provides that fit-and-flare shape, which is great if you want to achieve an hourglass figure. This ‘how to wear a bodysuit’ guide highly recommends topping the look off with a pair of chunky sandals.

Size guide

Bodysuits are seasonless garments. Depending on the cut, they can be worn from winter through summer. They’re usually paired with other garments since most one-pieces feature a swimsuit silhouette. Moving forward, we’ll discuss how to wear a bodysuit. How to Wear a Bodysuit This piece is designed for bigger busts, but not for bigger butts. If you have a particularly large chest, then the supportive cups feel like a dream, making them look perky while they feel completely supported. We noticed how from the waist up, this bodysuit created a smooth silhouette that allowed for your jeans to be fastened easier. Unfortunately, those with wider hips and a bigger butt will struggle to fit into this bodysuit. The long bodysuit: Considered a great way to retain body heat, we highly recommend layering this one-piece under trousers and sweaters during winter.

Jeans: Considered the simplest way to style bodysuits, this outfit combo provides the illusion of a cohesive ensemble. Dresses and tops with low-hanging fronts require shapewear with an open bust, if you plan to wear it underneath. With the bust portion uncovered on this piece, you have some more freedom to show a little cleavage, should you wish to do so. The long-sleeve bodysuit: Cable-knit sweaters can often look too bulky. If you prefer a slimmer alternative, we recommend opting for this one-piece cut.Once on, we were delighted to see what a remarkable job it did of smoothing our legs and waist. We tried on many shapewear, but this one provided one of the most noticeable visual changes to our bodies. We found no lumps or bumps while in this, and it really improved the way our clothing looked over it. As an added bonus, the opening under the chest worked hand-in-hand with our favorite bra to gently push the ladies up. The only thing we would change here is to add an opening around the bottom to make trips to the bathroom a little easier. While the garment doesn’t take a lot of work to slide off and on, it’s simply a hassle to first have to remove our top to get the straps down and perform our business. Some examples include biker shorts Princess Diana style, 90s workout guru, and the collared shirt athleisure aesthetic. If you want to achieve all three OOTDS, it’s important to find a simple, monochrome bodysuit. We loved how this shapewear evened out our bodies to create a smooth figure, but more than that, we adored how near-invisible it felt once on. We practically forgot we had it on thanks to the extremely comfortable fabric. The only reminder of its existence was that the shorts tended to show from underneath a mini dress as they are a bit long. And going to the bathroom requires a bit of patience with this one; the crotch does have two flaps that can be pushed aside when you have to go. But unless you are extremely skilled at maneuvering through this opening, you will be required to take the whole piece off to use the toilet, which can be a major hassle. We had rather mixed feelings about this, as it took some patience and practice to use the opening flaps. We almost preferred taking the whole thing off, however time-consuming, just to not ruin the shapewear in the process of using the toilet. What We Don’t Love: You can definitely see it from underneath your clothes, so you can’t wear it with form-fitting pieces.

The support through the stomach band was an ideal amount—it had a nice smoothing appearance without feeling like we were wrapped in a sausage casing. The rip-resistant fabric also earned a 4.9/5 for durability. We tried nails, velcro, and jewelry and there wasn’t a tear in sight. A pair of these will last you many seasons, making the price tag worth it. The size chart is a little confusing at first but we found that it was accurate if you follow the height and weight guidelines.Spanx: Get up to70% off Undie-tectable Thong, Suit Your Fancy Strapless Cupped Panty Bodysuit, and more shapewear at spanx.com Of course, which one you choose will heavily depend on your current aesthetic. For instance, clothing styles like maximalism and minimalism offer their own takes on the classic strap suit. How to Style a Bodysuit

What We Don’t Love: While the top portion is impossible to spot under clothes, you can see the seams of the bottoms if worn with leggings or very tight pants.Belts: The best bodysuit outfits include a stylish belt to help cinch in the waist. You can choose from a variety of designs, including the thin strap or the chunky ‘cowboy’ cut. Because you select your size based on your bust, anyone with a fuller bottom will notice the fabric feels a bit too constrictive around the thigh openings. It left marks on our thighs and felt less comfortable than other bodysuits we tried. On the other hand, the lace portion never seemed to bother us and looked rather chic as a going-out shirt when combined with a nude bra. Otherwise, the bra portion is completely sheer, and while it does have an underwire for support, it does not provide coverage to the nipples.
