BODYSUITS, THE WARDROBE MUST-HAVE

imo, the #1 thing you need in your wardrobe = a bodysuit.

buy them in every color, print, fabric, texture, you see because trust me when I say, you can never have too many bodysuits ☝️ or leotards as I tend to call them, no thx to my cheerleading days...

my go-to when shopping for bodysuits is american apparel. (& before you say anything, yes, they are open again! only online though.) other retailers w/ a good bodysuit assortment are:



mix & match your bodysuit w/ high waisted shorts, skirts, pants, etc. & as the weather gets cooler, throw a cardigan/sweater over those same outfits to really get the most wear out of them! x 

SHOP THE LOOK:

leotard, similar // skirt, forever 21 // bag, hayden harnett (similar) // sunglasses, céline // shoes, converse

  1. I was skeptical of bodysuits when they first became a trend because they reminded me so much of the leotards of my dance days but man oh man do I love them now! On point recommendations. I'd also recommend checking out boohoo!

  2. I didn't even know American Apparel had closed? I never shopped there, but YES! I love bodysuits, and have about 8! they're so easy to wear with shorts, jeans and even with a suit.

  10. I've been dying to try bodysuits for the longest time and finally got around to purchasing one the other day. It's long-sleeved, so I'll have to wait until fall to wear it but your post has me super excited to finally wear it soon!
