Bodysuits For the Holiday Season and Beyond
One Time For The Bodysuit
I shared this secondhand bodysuit in an Instagram Reel, and it caused a commotion! And I get why. It's officially the holiday season, and this unique bodysuit is ideal for fashioning festive looks to celebrate.
The Truth About Festive Wear
The biggest challenge with holiday-themed garments adorned in green, red, and sequins is styling them beyond the holiday season. Did you know festive attire has one of the shortest life cycles, with most ending up in a landfill after just one wear? That's not good from a personal, financial, or environmental standpoint.
Bye, Bye Holiday-Theme Attire
I stopped buying holiday-specific clothing altogether! Instead of festive attire, I wear/shop for solid-color staples. The plainer, the better! That way, I can add holiday-themed embellishments to give it a festive look while also ensuring I can transition the piece through different seasons for when the holidays end.
Try A Solid Color Bodysuit
Solid-color bodysuits are perfect for this! They can serve as an outfit base for skirts, jeans, and pants and transition to festive with accessories like statement earrings, rings, bold lipstick, and heels. For those bodysuits made out of sheer materials, short sleeves, or unique cut-outs, adding a blazer, trench coat, and wool jacket makes it easier to wear during the cooler months.
Bodysuit Round-Up
I'm rounding up a variety of bodysuits for the holiday season and beyond! Each ranges from leisure to elevated. Most of the pieces highlighted are in Black hues (the most manageable base to transition between seasons), with some offering colorful styles if that's your fancy.
If there are gaps in your wardrobe, prioritize secondhand for your shopping needs and snag a unique, high-quality piece you can wear repeatedly. If you already own something similar to what’s listed below, wear it! No need to shop if you can make something you own work. The bodysuits below are just suggestions if you’re in the market and unsure of where to start.
