How to Choose the Perfect Bodysuit for You

Not all bodysuits are created equal — and the one that makes you feel unforgettable depends on your body, your style, and how you plan to wear it. From necklines and fabrics to sizing tips and care, here’s your ultimate guide to choosing the bodysuit that’s right for you.

Finding the Right Fit

A bodysuit should feel like a second skin — supportive, flattering, and comfortable enough to move with you.

  • Stretch bodysuits work best for all-day wear and layering. They hug curves without digging in.

  • Structured bodysuits (with shaping panels, boning, or underwire) are perfect if you want more definition or a smoothing effect.

Straps and closures matter: adjustable straps allow for a custom fit, while snap closures make trips to the bathroom easier (and yes, we thought of that for you).

Fit Tip: If you’re between sizes, size up for comfort — nothing ruins the vibe faster than a bodysuit that pulls too tight.

Necklines that Flatter Your Style

The neckline sets the tone for your bodysuit look — subtle, bold, or downright daring. 

Style Note: If you plan to wear it beyond the bedroom, choose a neckline you’d be comfortable styling as a top.

Choosing Fabrics That Match Your Mood

Fabric is where you decide how you want to feel.

  • Lace: Romantic and feminine, adds delicate detailing.
  • Mesh: Bold, edgy, and perfect if you like to play with transparency.
  • Satin: Luxe, smooth, and made for special nights.
  • Everyday blends (modal, cotton, stretch): Comfortable for casual layering and long wear.

Pro Move: Keep a mix — one everyday bodysuit, one statement piece, and one boudoir classic.

Care Tips to Keep Your Bodysuit Luxe

The secret to a long-lasting bodysuit is all in the care.

  • Hand wash in cold water separately or in the machine using a lingerie wash bag.
  • Avoid the dryer — heat destroys stretch and delicate fabrics.
  • Lay flat or hang to dry.
  • Store folded or on padded hangers to avoid snags.

Treat it right, and your bodysuit will keep its shape, colour, and feel for countless wears. For more details on keeping your lingerie in best condition - refer to our Essential Guide to Caring for Your Blackmarket Lingerie

Confidence in One Piece

At the end of the day, the perfect bodysuit is the one that makes you feel incredible. Whether that means romantic lace, daring mesh, or a sculpting structured piece, your choice should celebrate your body and your style.
