In the world of fuss-free and versatile clothing options, bodysuits are clear winners. For one, not having to repeatedly tuck your shirt into your pants is truly revolutionary, and that’s only one of the many alluring aspects. Not only do we believe fiercely in the style, but we also wear them on heavy rotation, and you know we love to talk about the wardrobe staples we wear the most.
The bodysuit market just seems to keep getting better. They’re offered in a wide range of sizes and silhouettes to work for various body types and occasions. You’ll find everything from foundational T-shirt styles to lacy, lingerie-inspired looks you can easily pair with leather pants and platform shoes for a night out. There are even blouses and tank styles you can pull off for the office. Suffice to say, the list of uses feels virtually endless.
Even if you don’t opt for true shapewear (the wear-under-your-bridesmaids-dress type picks), the best bodysuits will still flatter and smooth in all the right places, which means you can always rely on a bodysuit to emphasize your waistline. Plus, many of our favorite offerings are super comfortable. So, if you’ve been burned in the past by one rogue suit that rode up a little too high, don’t hold it against all bodysuits forever. Hate the player, not the game.
Ahead, we scoured customer reviews—and our own closets—to find the 13 best bodysuits that will be a mainstay in your wardrobe. You can thank us later.
With this versatile sheer option, you’ll be ready for date night or GNO in a flash. The stretchy mesh is designed to be just as soft and wearable as your favorite pair of undies. Style it with a pretty lace bralette underneath for extra intrigue, or opt to layer it with a graphic tee like our associate fashion commerce editor Meg likes to do.
Now, this is truly innovative. Why is this the first time we’re seeing sweater bodysuits? Knits can be so chunky and unflattering, but this silhouette offers both warmth and a defined waist.
Colors: Forest Pool, Coconut Milk, Mink, Black
Customer review: “Don’t typically wear bodysuits but loved the coziness of this one. Stretchy and comfortable. The sweater material is unique. Not scratchy at all.”
For crisp, cold-weather days, you’ll want a bestselling turtleneck bodysuit on your side. It’s solid black without being too thick and is ideal for layering. The stretchy material will comfortably hold you in, serving as an effortless base for all your outfits. Seriously, it’s one of our most worn wardrobe pieces for fall and winter—honest!
Customer review: “This turtleneck bodysuit lives up to its description, fitting perfectly without feeling overly tight due to the snaps. The fabric is comfortable, and the value is exceptional, prompting me to buy it in multiple colors. A stylish and practical addition to any wardrobe.”
This button-down option is perfect for anyone who has to get properly dressed for work, but also appreciates anything that makes life easier. This works well for both.
Customer review: “Perfect polished look. Love this and wear it with jeans and dress pants.”
Commando makes some of our favorite bodysuits. This onefeatures the brand’s signature raw-cut hems and proprietary Butter fabric—which is meant to be super soft, resist pilling, and offer four-way stretch without sagging out every time you wear it. According to the label, the style has also been fit-tested by real women to help ensure you get a better fit.
Customer review: “Fit[s] perfectly, washes easily and does not loose shape. I wear them all the time and they are true to size and so flattering....Great staples to have. Highly recommend.”
It’s safe to say Skims’ loungewear and lingerie have reached cult status—and its bodysuits are no exception, either. Backed by over 300 reviews, this classic scoop neck silhouette is one of the most popular on the site, done with a double-layered fabric, adjustable straps, and a thong bottom. Customers rave about how comfortable and flattering it is for both small and large chests, but note that you may want to wear pasties if prefer a slightly less nipply look.
Colors: 8 seasonal and 9 neutral Core hues
Customer review: “I am absolutely obsessed with this bodysuit. Material is so soft and lightweight; it feels like I have nothing on. It is so flattering and shapes me perfectly.”
Looking for the bodysuit alternative to your favorite white tee? Try this crew neck version from Everlane. It’s a customer favorite for its smooth, double-lined Supima fabric that molds to your figure yet doesn’t reveal anything even if you go braless. Bonus: It comes in both thong and bikini cuts to suit your preference and has elongated sleeves, which offer a slightly elevated look that can take you from day to night with ease.
Customer review: “It fits like a glove while being nice and stretchy and not at all restrictive. And don’t worry, it’s not see-through. The snap at the bottom is easy to use and works well.”
Okay, this isn’t technically a bodysuit you’d showcase on its own, but if you’re seeking some of the best shapewear bodysuits with high support, Spanx’s Suit Your Fancy style is a go-to. Specifically created to layer under formal tops, jumpsuits, and dresses, it features a deep neckline and back with a removable band for when you really want to go low. For even more versatility, it comes with convertible straps (including clear ones!) you can wear five ways. Plus, there’s an easy access gusset so you don’t have to entirely strip down when nature calls.
Colors: Very Black, Champagne Beige
Customer review: “I wore this as a bridesmaid for a long day of fun and dancing. The thigh-length stopped any rubbing or uncomfortableness due to hot weather or movement. The bra gave the perfect amount of support while staying hidden. The opening was ideal for quick trips to the restroom.”
We’re calling this the revenge bodysuit. Because when you walk into the room wearing this va-va-voom style, you’ll really be that girl. Featuring a lacy boned bodice and padded underwire cups, it also comes with an easy zip-up back and detachable, adjustable shoulder straps, so you have options.
Customer review: “This bodysuit got me the hottest guy in the bar, and it put my ex in his place. I definitely 10/10 recommend.”
Express’ vast array of affordable bodysuits come with plenty of buzz, like this high-neck option backed by nearly 600 five-star reviews. Available in 16 colors, the sleeveless polyester-blend silhouette is designed to sculpt and smooth, offering double layer fabric in the front to keep you covered, an easy snap closure, and thong cut. Keep in mind the back of the bodysuit is more sheer, though, since the area is not double-lined.
Customer review: “I recommend every color there is. Fits great, and the quality is amazing.”
Over 1,200 customers rave about this sleek cutout number, featuring stretchy double-lined fabric for extra support and coverage. Whether you go for a classic LBB (little black bodysuit) or any one of the over a dozen colors offered, this piece looks way more expensive than its $25 price tag.
Customer review: “I’m normally skeptical about bodysuits but decided to take a chance on this…SO GLAD I did! It’s buttery soft and flattering, not to mention, as a person who is a 38DD, I was able to go braless.”
There’s a reason all things Abercrombie are going viral on TikTok. The nostalgic brand makes some ultra-versatile, flattering, and cozy basics, including this top-rated square neck bodysuit. The laidback, wear-with-everything style is made of soft, breathable cotton and should fit like a second skin.
Colors: Light Grey, White, Brown, Light Brown, Black
Customer review: “First time trying the bodysuits from Abercrombie, and I’m obsessed! I’ve been looking for classic bodysuits, and these are perfect. Super form-fitting but comfortable.”
Underwear as everyday wear is having a huge moment right now, and this pretty teddy-inspired bodysuit is an excellent way to embrace the trend. Boasting a cleavage-boosting underwire and handy adjustable straps, the mesh and lace style will look just as good with crisp white jeans as it does with leather micro mini skirts.
Customer review: “Very sexy! The fit is great. Love the color.”
