The bodysuit is one of the most underrated pieces in women's fashion. It sits neatly at the intersection of practicality and style — it stays tucked, it creates a clean silhouette, and it elevates almost any outfit it's paired with. Yet it's often overlooked in favour of regular tops that bunch, untuck, and require constant adjusting throughout the day.
In 2026, the bodysuit is having its moment. From sleek mesh styles worn on nights out to structured long-sleeve versions that work in the office, the bodysuit has proven itself as one of the most versatile pieces you can own. This guide covers everything you need to know about how to style a bodysuit — and introduces the OW Collection styles leading the conversation.
Why a Bodysuit Works Better Than a Regular Top
Before we get into styling, it's worth understanding why a bodysuit is worth the investment in the first place.
It stays put. No untucking, no adjusting, no pulling your top down every time you move. A bodysuit is anchored in place, which means your outfit looks as good at midnight as it did when you left the house.
It creates a cleaner silhouette. The smooth, uninterrupted line from top to bottom is more flattering than a regular top, especially when tucked into high-waisted bottoms.
It's more versatile than it looks. A bodysuit can be dressed up for a night out, worn casually with jeans, or styled with tailored trousers for a polished daytime look. One piece, endless outfits.
The OW Collection Bodysuits — Meet the Edit
TWIST Bodysuit
The TWIST Bodysuit in black is a sleek, fitted bodysuit with a signature twist detail at the front that sets it apart from a basic. It's one of OW Collection's bestselling styles — and it's easy to see why. The twist detail adds just enough visual interest to make it feel considered without being overdone.
Best for: Going out, dinner dates, pairing with wide-leg trousers or a mini skirt. How to style it: Tuck into high-waisted black trousers for a sleek monochrome look, or pair with a denim mini and heels for an elevated casual outfit.
SPIRAL Bodysuit
The SPIRAL Bodysuit in black is the bodysuit you wear when you want the bodysuit to be the statement. The spiral construction is sculptural and striking — it works as a standalone top with simple bottoms rather than something to tuck away under a blazer.
Best for: Nights out, events, occasions where you want to be noticed. How to style it: Pair with a sleek black mini skirt and strappy heels. Keep everything else minimal — the SPIRAL does all the work.
LAYCE Bodysuit
The LAYCE Bodysuit in black brings a lace element into the bodysuit edit — a nod to one of 2026's biggest fabric trends. Lace bodysuits sit at the intersection of lingerie-inspired dressing and everyday wearability, and the LAYCE nails the balance. It's feminine and sensual without being over the top.
Best for: Going out, dinner, layering under a blazer for a contrast of hard and soft. How to style it: Wear under a structured blazer with tailored trousers for a powerful daytime look, or style with a sleek black mini skirt and heels for evening. The lace detail peeks out beautifully against sharper, more structured pieces.
BILLIE Bodysuit
The BILLIE Bodysuit in black is anything but basic. With a bold cut-out detail at the front, the BILLIE is a statement bodysuit designed for nights out and occasions where you want to turn heads. The cut-out adds a dramatic, sensual quality that makes it one of the most striking pieces in the bodysuit edit.
Best for: Nights out, parties, events — anywhere you want to be noticed. How to style it: Pair with a sleek mini skirt or tailored trousers and let the cut-out do the talking. Add long gloves for a high-fashion editorial moment, or keep it simple with heels and minimal jewellery. Either way, the BILLIE is the outfit.
CURVE Bodysuit
The CURVE Bodysuit in black is built around a figure-flattering curved silhouette — the same design philosophy behind the CURVE Mini Dress. The construction hugs in all the right places and creates a smooth, sculpted look that pairs beautifully with both casual and dressed-up bottoms.
Best for: Everyday wear, going out, versatile enough for both. How to style it: Tuck into high-waisted jeans for a clean casual look, or pair with a mini skirt and heels for evening. This is the bodysuit you reach for when you're not sure what to wear — it always works.
How to Style a Bodysuit for Every Occasion
For a Night Out
The SPIRAL, TWIST and BILLIE are the three bodysuits built for evenings. The SPIRAL's sculptural design and the TWIST's signature detail both create instant impact with minimal effort — pair either with a mini skirt or tailored trousers, heels, and a micro bag. If you want to go further, the BILLIE's bold cut-out front makes it the most striking option of the three — the kind of bodysuit that makes an outfit feel like a statement before you've even added anything else.
For a Casual Day Look
Tuck the CURVE or TWIST bodysuit into high-waisted jeans or wide-leg trousers. Add trainers or flat sandals and a shoulder bag. This is the bodysuit formula that makes a casual outfit look like it has been thought about — without actually requiring much thought at all.
For a Smart Casual or Work Look
Layer the LAYCE bodysuit under a structured blazer with tailored trousers. The lace peeks out at the neckline and creates an interesting contrast with the sharp tailoring. It's a look that works from a morning meeting to after-work drinks without any changes required.
For Everyday Versatility
The CURVE bodysuit is the one to reach for when you just need an outfit to work. It pairs with almost everything — jeans, skirts, trousers, shorts — and always creates a clean, flattering silhouette. This is the bodysuit you'll wear on rotation.
The Bodysuit Styling Rules
Always size for your bust. Bodysuits are less forgiving than regular tops when it comes to fit around the chest — if in doubt, size up and adjust elsewhere.
High-waisted bottoms are your best friend. The combination of a bodysuit and high-waisted bottoms creates one of the most flattering silhouettes in fashion. It elongates the legs and defines the waist simultaneously.
Tuck-free dressing is the point. Don't fight the bodysuit by constantly checking if it's still in place — it is. That's the whole benefit. Wear it and forget about it.
Monochrome works every time. A black bodysuit with black trousers or a black skirt is one of the easiest and most effective outfits you can put together. It's sleek, effortless, and always looks intentional.
