I didn’t learn that I was a fan of bodysuits until my most recent Nordstrom shopping haul. When it comes to buying basics, Nordstrom never fails to introduce me to millions of options. When I was tasked with the responsibility of investigating its bodysuit selection, I took the assignment very seriously. After about an hour of scrolling, I purchased eight bodysuits but ended up keeping only five of them for myself.
For me, this is a wardrobe staple that can be a hit or miss. For one, I have to dress and undress constantly, and my worst nightmare is wearing a difficult bodysuit during a long shopping day or when I’ve had too much water. Torso length is also a big factor, as I’m 5’7” and on the taller side. After trying on these eight bodysuits, I’m convinced these five are all I need to know about.
Wow. My jaw dropped when I put this bodysuit on. Even though I wasn’t wearing a bra, I immediately felt lifted and supported in the bust area. It was fitted in all of the right places, giving me an instant hourglass silhouette. I immediately put my camera into video mode and started to document the wonder that this piece of clothing is. I’m obsessed.
I went from party-ready to strictly business in seconds when I slid into this bodysuit. I own a lot of button-down tops already, but this bodysuit version is next level. The buttons are the kind that never fall off and I love the option of wearing it open. Next time I want to feel dressed up, I’m putting this on.
There’s a reason so many retailers sell Skims bodysuit dupes; the brand has set a new standard in this category. The price point here is incredible, and as soon as I put it on, I felt like it was higher quality than some designer styles I’ve tried. The fabric Skims chooses has a way of sculpting you like no other and I felt like I was about to shake a salad and film an episode of the Kardashians when I was wearing this.
Here’s another example of a shirt you won’t have to worry about tucking in. This bodysuit makes wearing a T-shirt with anything easier. The puff sleeves are also a nice touch.
I’m currently looking for more timeless pieces, so although this bodysuit didn’t quite sell me, I still have to include it. Polka dots are having a moment this year in an Audrey Hepburn way, and this bodysuit is a way of taking that trend to the party. If you’re transitioning into colder weather, then this is a great option for you.
