Choosing a bodysuit for an evening out is the best outfit idea to make a splash and leave a lasting impression. As we know, the boduit is originally a piece meant to be worn underneath clothing. In other words, it’s primarily a piece of lingerie.

More than just lingerie, the bodysuit has charmed the fashion world and gradually integrated into everyday looks, and even festive events. Yes, with its endless variations, the bodysuit is as much for day as for night. However, there are some rules to follow to properly wear a bodysuit in the evening. A form-fitting top like the bodysuit must be carefully chosen to be both sexy and elegant. And at the same time, it’s important to know what to wear with it, be it accessories or the outfit that completes it.

Without further ado, let’s discover the tips to know for wearing a bodysuit to an evening event.

How to choose your bodysuit for festive occasions?

Being a form-fitting piece, the bodysuit is already a favorite outfit to show off an elegant and sexy silhouette. Moreover, for festive occasions in the evening, there’s nothing more sensational than standing out with a look that’s both glam, attractive, and chic.

So, in the evening, count on the sexy and lingerie side of the bodysuit to dress up. Turn towards models made of silky materials or even guipure to give a festive air to your outfit. Dare also models with sequins or decorated with lace.

For a small preview of the models to favor, the editorial team has selected the following pieces for you:

Choice No. 1: A black lace bodysuit

What pieces go best with a bodysuit in the evening?

Once you’ve chosen your evening bodysuit, it’s time to move on to the rest of the outfit to compose your evening look.

Of course! Since the lingerie bodysuit is already quite daring, it’s better to avoid all provocative and extravagant clothing to accompany it. In the evening, elegance is paramount. Thus, to add style to your look, opt instead for more chic and classy bottoms.

First option: pair the bodysuit with high-waisted trousers

Nothing is more glam and chic than the mix of a form-fitting top and high-waisted trousers. Try a total black look to play on subtlety and refinement.

For a glimpse of the result, we have selected this model of a black transparent bodysuit from Yves Saint Laurent for you. This black bodysuit is paired with black tailored trousers and a pair of black pumps: classy, isn’t it? 

Second option: A lingerie bodysuit with a high-waisted skirt

At first glance, wearing a bodysuit and skirt in the evening may seem ordinary. Yet, this combination forms a completely glamorous style. Of course, this does not mean choosing just any model of skirts. To create a style suited for an evening, combine a bodysuit and a pencil skirt for example. For contrasts, choose pleated or ruffled skirts. Be careful not to choose your skirt too short. A cut just above the knee is perfect.
