How to Determine the Best Fit

Finding the perfect fit for bodysuits can indeed be a challenge, especially since regular sizes often cater to longer torsos. For petites eager to embrace this trend, it might be a bit tricky to find that just-right fit. Given that everyone has a wonderfully distinct body shape, various silhouettes will naturally suit different people in unique ways.

Wrap styles like the Gabriella bodysuit can especially be great for those seeking to flatter a fuller bust size, while mock necks can be amazing for those of us with smaller bust sizes. Now, let's talk about how to style a bodysuit.

Laid-Back Vibes | Styled with Jeans

One of the easiest ways to master an easy and fashionable look is to pair a bodysuit with some jeans. On a petite frame, this especially adds greater balance and proportionality. For a laidback ensemble, try styling your favorite denim in your preferred inseam with a basic bodysuit in a neutral shade for a minimal look.

Because bodysuits tend to be more form-fitting, they often pair best with jeans that feature looser silhouettes, like straight, boyfriend, and wide-leg. Try the fitted Leon Long Sleeve Bodysuit for our exclusive Sculpt line!

Flirty Fun | Styled with Skirts

From easy breezy pleated maxis to office pencil silhouettes, skirts are one of the best bodysuit pairings. For petites, midi skirts are a particularly great choice. Aim for a midi that gracefully ends at mid-calf for the most flattering fit. Combine it with a breezy bodysuit, like the Sophia Short Sleeve Wrap Bodysuit, to strike a perfect balance between relaxed and polished.

For a business formal or business casual look, try styling a trouser skirt with a high-neck bodysuit and a blazer. Whatever styles and proportions suit your unique petite frame best, and make you feel most confident, that’s the way to go.

Modern Chic | Styled with Trousers

Effortless style. Two words that immediately come to mind when we think about the dynamic duo that is a bodysuit and a trouser combo. Whether you are going to work or out to a weekend brunch with friends, this pairing is the dream if your aim is a perfectly polished ensemble.

An effortlessly chic option is the Jane Square Neck Bodysuit with a flattering neckline. When looking for trousers, focus on finding your preferred inseam by choosing a true petite pair to ensure the best length to fit your petite proportions!

Fresh Feels | Styled with Statement Outerwear

Outerwear can truly tie an outfit together! Regardless of your personal style whether it's edgy, boho, or preppy– you can add a piece to your look to create extra dimension and flair. Bodysuits like the Sira Mockneck Bodysuit work well because they are thin enough to wear under any layering piece.

Add a blazer to your trouser and bodysuit combination for work; a moto jacket to your jean and bodysuit combination for a girls’ night out; or a denim jacket to your jean and bodysuit combo for a weekend adventure. Look for petite options for the best fit!

Bodysuits offer a versatile foundation to express your unique style. Whether you have a casual coffee date or a sophisticated occasion, you won’t regret reaching for a bodysuit as the perfect foundational piece.
