The word ‘bodysuit’ used to bring up images of Jane Fonda working out and old pictures of your mom from the 80s, but that is no more. This summer, bodysuits seem to be everyone’s outfit go to. Kim K has rarely been seen out of one in the past months, Selena Gomez has been keeping it casual cool with basic bodysuits, and Emily Ratajkowski had us all fighting over the last Reformation ‘Avalon’ bodysuit. Take a breath, they’ve re-stocked the style.

So, it seems like we wouldn’t be a fashion publication worth our salt if we didn’t bring up the topic of bodysuits. With the styles out today, there really is no right or wrong way to wear them. Actually, pairing them with leg warmers and white workout panty-hose is a definite no-no, but we think you know better. Whether your bodysuit is really your one-piece bathing suit under your cut-off shorts, or a chic Givenchy number paired with Frame denim, you can dress them up or down. Throw on a necklace, a kimono, a pair of sick Saint Laurent boots, and your style is immediately elevated. Really, how could we not have realized the bodysuit was such a basic until now.
