Generally worn by women, bodysuits are long garments that sometimes have snaps or poppers at the crotch. Bodysuits are tight fitting and come with or without sleeves. There are a few bodysuits available for men too.
Bodysuits became famous for women in the 1980s. Women were very conscious of their bodies at this time and wanted underwear that would define their figures very well. Designers such as Donna Karan and Azzedine Alaia made the bodysuit a hot-selling fashion item in the 80s.
Today, bodysuits are sleek and comfortable and women have a wide choice to choose from. They are available in a large variety of fabrics such as nylon, velvet, Lycra and cotton. Most bodysuits are great for casual everyday wear. They are no longer considered as underwear and can be easily worn with a pair of jeans.
A bodysuit in a combination of Lycra and nylon is perfect for a woman with a slim figure and a well-defined body. They are available in a huge array of colours including black, white, red, pink and mink. Some bodysuits have a V neck and look great with a jacket or blazer worn over them. Others have a turtle neck and are good for evening wear or for a formal look. Ballet neck bodysuits are a good choice for summer wear. These bodysuits are soft and comfortable and the neckline is combined with cap sleeves.
Cotton bodysuits are lightweight and most of them are combined with Lycra to give a slim fit feel. Sleeveless bodysuits that resemble tank tops are often in cotton and can be worn all year round with your favourite pair of jeans. Light colours such as white, kiwi, suntan and pink are largely preferred.
Bodysuits for men are very comfortable and largely worn as underwear. They are sleek and available in cotton with Lycra that stretches comfortably. Most bodysuits for men come with a racer back for a masculine touch.
Bodysuits are a special garment in a woman’s wardrobe. They are very versatile and can be worn with trousers or a skirt. Easy to wash, inexpensive and hassle free, a bodysuit will give you a great look as well as a comfortable feel.
