A bodysuit goes with anything high-waisted: jeans, straight trousers, midi, maxi and mini skirts. It fastens at the bottom, so it never comes untucked and keeps a smooth line at the waist. For every day, pair a knit bodysuit with jeans or trousers; for the evening, choose an asymmetric or draped bodysuit with a mesh skirt. In autumn, add a cape or a cardigan as a second layer.
Below are eight ready-made looks with our styles.
1. Every day: bodysuit and jeans
The simplest combination that always works. Choose high-waisted jeans so the bodysuit stays visible and the waist is defined. Basic styles with a round or oval neckline work best here: Basic bodysuit, Oval neckline bodysuit.
2. For the office: bodysuit, straight trousers and a blazer
For work, choose a dense bodysuit that is not see-through and straight trousers. The Rounded neckline bodysuit in double-layered knit looks polished under a blazer and does not crease during the day. Pair it with Straight pants with a decorative belt from the Soft Touch collection.
3. With a midi skirt
A bodysuit and a midi skirt together look like a dress, but you can swap the top and the bottom separately. Try the Draped midi skirt with the Halter neck bodysuit: the simple top balances the draping.
4. For the evening: bodysuit and a maxi skirt
For the evening, combine a bodysuit with a striking shoulder line and a long mesh skirt. For example, the Mesh bandeau bodysuit with shoulder draping and the Maxi skirt with a ruched upper part in the same colour.
5. With a mini skirt
A mini works best with a long-sleeve bodysuit, so the look stays balanced. The Wrap bodysuit with gathers and the Asymmetrical knit and mesh mini skirt in black make an evening look with nothing extra.
6. A tonal look
A bodysuit and bottoms in the same colour visually lengthen the silhouette and look more expensive. The easiest way is with chocolate, milk or black styles: the Asymmetrical bodysuit and the Draped midi skirt in chocolate.
7. In autumn: a second layer
When it gets cool, throw a cape or a kimono over your bodysuit. The knit Draped cape with a stand-up collar keeps you warm and holds its shape, while the Short mesh cape adds lightness. If your bodysuit is sleeveless and it is cold, try the Mesh ruched sleeves: they are worn separately as an accessory.
For extra warmth from the start, choose a long-sleeve bodysuit from the Long Sleeves collection.
8. Accessories that finish the look
Add long gloves to an evening bodysuit, for example Gloves with feathers. For off-the-shoulder styles, Silicone straps come in handy, and for everyday looks a Headband in the colour of your bodysuit.

FAQ
Which jeans go with a bodysuit? High-waisted ones: straight, wide-leg or mom jeans. With low-rise jeans you lose the main advantage of a bodysuit, the smooth waistline.
Can I wear a bodysuit to the office? Yes, if it is a dense bodysuit that is not see-through, with a modest neckline. Add a blazer or a cardigan and the look works even for a business meeting.
What to wear over a bodysuit in autumn? A cape, a kimono or a cardigan. They do not hide the silhouette and keep the bodysuit in focus. See more in the Cardigans collection.
