What Can A body Suit Do for You?

The word bodysuits can create some anxiety for most of us.  We think bodysuit and immediately all of our body insecurities come rearing their ugly heads, but it doesn't have to be that way.  In fact, there are some really great purposes for and benefits to wearing a bodysuit.  Some people have bodacious bodies and a healthy body image to match if you have one or both of those things, know that I admire you.  But many of us struggle with our bodies and even more so with our own poor opinions of our bodies to the point that it prevents us from loving ourselves and living our lives to the fullest.  

One of the reasons I love collaborating with FemmeLuxe is that they have clothes put those insecurities to rest from loungewear sets to bodycon dresses, everything makes me look and feel great, and gives me the opportunity to show you that you can do the same.  So, today's post features the White Snake Print High Neck Bodysuit - Alina with a few tips on how bodysuits can benefit you.

 You know I love a snakeskin print, which is partially why I was drawn to this White Snake Print High Neck Bodysuit - Alina.  But I also love that mock turtle neck which gives it a retro 60s look.  The fit on this bodysuit is fantastic, very comfortable all around.  The fabric is soft and the print is crisp.  That's the review of this particular bodysuit, but what are the benefits of bodysuits in general?  I'm so glad you asked.

 1.      Sleek Silhouette.  I think the thing that most people fear with a bodysuit is that their form will be revealed and they won't like what they see.  If this is you, then let me give you some advice. It's just two words, are you ready?  Stop.  It.  Just because the top is form fitting doesn't mean everything has to be.  The great thing about a bodysuit is that is shows off your body, but you decide how much.  For me, I knew exactly how I would style this bodysuit before it ever arrived in the mail. (By the way, all my femmeluxefinery.co.uk orders arrive within two weeks of purchase, so I have  never had to wait long!)  

I immediately envisioned a black high waist pinafore skirt and black heels.  For a pinafore skirt, the last thing you want is a loose or baggy top.  For this look a form fitting top is the way to go and because a bodysuit buttons underneath, I don't have to worry about it bunching up.  Put those body image issues at east by pairing this bodysuit with this flowy full skirt like the one on this pinafore.  The top is form fitting, and the pinafore is fitted at the narrowest part of my waist, but the skirt is full bringing balance to the look and  I haven't revealed all of my natural shape.

2.      No Overhang.  You may remember my high waist jeans posts (you can see them here and here) and how much I am really loving the way they look on my lower half, but imagine topping off those curve enhancing jeans with a frumpy top.  When it comes to high waist jeans, I prefer either a crop top or a bodysuit.  You don't want blousey overhang ruining those lines or something that you're constantly having to tuck in over and over.  Here again is where the bodysuit shines.  

Thanks to those buttons underneath, you'll never need to worry about tucking in overhang.  Now at this point, if you're thinking that this is all well and good but both the jeans and top would be form fitting, that's where a blazer or cardigan comes in as I wore in this outfit.

3.Lean into the Curves.  I know there's this Hollywood cookie cutter style body out there that we all think we should have, but the truth is bodies come in all shapes and sizes.  You have a shape and no matter what it is, it's a good one.  You just have to first learn to love and accept your body and then how to dress your body so that you're showing its full potential.  

So, maybe you embrace the shape of you by wearing a bodysuit with a pencil skirt or those snug jeans and no blousey blazer on top.  Just be you and love it.  For my next post with this bodysuit, I plan to do exactly that.  Stay tuned..........
