How to Wear a Lace Bodysuit

A lace bodysuit is a timeless piece of lingerie and, with the right styling, it can be transformed into a bold outfit. Pick a coverage that you feel comfortable with first, before starting to style your outfit. Then choose a top to layer the lace bodysuit with, before picking the right bottoms to finish off your look. Remember that the key to wearing a lace bodysuit out is confidence!

EditSteps

EditChoosing the Right Coverage

  1. Pick a bodysuit with lined cups if you want to wear minimal layers. Bodysuits often have different levels of transparency within the piece. A lace bodysuit with lined cups is great because you can enjoy wearing the transparent or sheer lace without feeling too exposed.[1]

    • A lace bodysuit with lined cups is great if you want to wear just 1 color. Pick a black, white, or neutral toned bodysuit if you are looking for something that can work with many different outfits, or pick a bright color such as red or blue if you want to stand out.
  2. Wear a thin, triangular bra if the bodysuit doesn’t have lined cups. If your bodysuit already has lace detailing or patterns, stick to a plain bra so that it doesn’t clash. However, if your bodysuit is quite plain, then try a detailed or patterned bra to create a statement outfit.[2]

    • Avoid wearing a strappy bodysuit with a detailed bra as this may look overcrowded.
    • For a minimalist look, match either a black bra and bodysuit, or a white bra and bodysuit. Alternatively, pick contrasting colors for the bra and lace bodysuit, such as black and white, or red and black.
  3. Wear a bralette underneath the bodysuit if you want more coverage. If your bodysuit is sheer or transparent, you might feel more comfortable wearing a bralette. Pick a matching color to the lace bodysuit, or pick a bold, contrasting color such as a red bralette and a black bodysuit, for a more statement look.[3]

    • Try a scoop neck style bralette to feel more comfortable, or opt for a v-neck style if you are happy with less coverage.

EditLayering with Tops

  1. Pull a blazer on over the bodysuit to create a more elegant look. Match the blazer to the color of the lace bodysuit to form a chic, minimalist outfit. Wear this on a night out, and keep the blazer unbuttoned so that you can see the detailing of the lace.[4]

    • Alternatively, pick a blazer that contrasts the color of your lace bodysuit to create a statement outfit. For example, wear a black bodysuit with a white blazer.
  2. Match the lace bodysuit with a denim jacket for a fun, casual look. A light denim jacket matched with a dark or black lace bodysuit goes well. This idea also works if you feel too exposed in the bodysuit, and you want to tone your look down.[5]

    • A cropped denim jacket works especially well if you are wearing high-waisted bottoms.
    • A dark-wash denim jacket contrasts nicely with a white lace bodysuit.
  3. Wear the bodysuit under a half-buttoned shirt to add detail to your outfit. Pick a contrasting shirt and lace bodysuit, such as a white shirt and a black bodysuit. Button the shirt from the bottom up, and leave the top half of the buttons undone so that you can see the detailing of the lace.[6]

    • Tuck the bottom of the shirt in to make the look more tidy.
    • A lace bodysuit with a half-buttoned shirt looks best with high-waisted jeans.
  4. Wear an open back sweater over the bodysuit for a casual daytime look. The back of bodysuits can often be just as stylish and detailed as the front. Pick a sweater with a deep scoop in the back to show off the detailing of the lace.[7]

    • This style works especially well if you don’t feel comfortable exposing the front of the lace bodysuit.
    • If the weather is too warm, wear a blouse with a low back instead of a sweater.

EditPicking the Bottoms

  1. Match the lace bodysuit with leather pants for a bold, evening look. A belt and high-waisted leather pants can transform the lace bodysuit into a fierce evening outfit for a night out. A black bodysuit with black leather pants is a classic look.[8]

    • High-waisted leather pants and black high heels go well together to create an elegant outfit.[9]
  2. Wear the lace bodysuit with a high-waisted skirt for a flattering look. A denim, leather, or patterned high-waisted skirt with the lace bodysuit can create many different styles depending on the occasion. Midi high-waisted skirts are the most popular to wear with bodysuits.[10]

    • A bright or bold patterned high-waisted skirt looks great with a plain lace bodysuit. If you have a very detailed bodysuit, try to stick to a plain skirt to avoid any clashing patterns.[11]
    • A denim skirt matched with a lace bodysuit creates a casual, day look, while a leather or patterned skirt is the best for making a fun, evening outfit.
  3. Wear the bodysuit with high-waisted jeans for a casual, effortless look. Choose slim, high-waisted jeans for a slightly tidier look, or pick boyfriend jeans with a few small rips for a more fun, carefree outfit. Light colored jeans with a white or cream lace bodysuit go especially well. Similarly, a dark bodysuit goes well with dark jeans.[12]

    • Wearing high heels with this outfit can transform it into a fun, evening look.
    • High-waisted jeans are the best to wear with bodysuits because they prevent your hips from being exposed, which can easily happen with low rise pants.[13]

EditAdding Accessories

  1. Wear a statement belt with your bodysuit to create a bold outfit. If you are wearing high-waisted leather pants or jeans with your bodysuit, a statement belt will help you to pull off your outfit. Choose a belt with a large, contrasting buckle that stands out.[14]

    • A black lace bodysuit with high-waisted leather pants works well with a black belt that has a large, silver buckle. Similarly, a white bodysuit with white jeans also works well with a statement belt. Try a silver, gold, or rose gold buckle to see what you prefer.
  2. Create an edgy look by wearing a choker with your bodysuit. A black choker is a great accessory to wear with a black, lace bodysuit. Try this out matched with a denim or leather jacket on as well to create a fun, casual outfit.[15]

  3. Wear a necklace with your lace bodysuit if it has a low neckline. A statement or simple necklace works well with a plunging or v-neck lace bodysuit, depending on the tone that you want your outfit to set. For example, pair a plain lace bodysuit with a statement necklace for a night out, or if you are wearing the bodysuit under a blazer, opt for a short, simple necklace instead.[16]

    • If your bodysuit has a halter-neck style, don't wear a necklace as there is already enough detail in that area, and you don't want to draw attention away from the bodysuit.
  4. Add a bracelet to your outfit to compliment your lace bodysuit. A bold, silver or gold bracelet goes well with a lace bodysuit for a night out. For a more casual, day outfit, stick to a delicate, thinner bracelet.[17]

    • Bracelets go especially well with lace bodysuits that are either sleeveless or have short sleeves.
  5. Pick high heels to help create an outfit with a lace bodysuit. High heels can really transform an ordinary outfit into something special. Wear high heels with your lace bodysuit and either a skirt, leather pants, or jeans to make a special outfit for a fun night out.[18]

    • If your lace bodysuit is part of an evening outfit, wear either black boots or black strappy heels. However, if you are aiming for your outfit to be more casual, experiment with high heels in bold colors.

EditTips

  • It can feel a bit daring to start wearing a lace bodysuit as part of an outfit. Begin with styles that you feel comfortable in, and remember that confidence is key![19]
