How to wear a bodysuit with tights?

Wearing a bodysuit with tights recalls the retro look of Jane Fonda teaching aerobics in the 80s. However, with delicate materials and sober colors, it forms a modern and attractive base to build a feminine outfit! Here’s how to create an everyday outfit with this combo: 

  1. Start by putting on a pair of sheer or solid tights. 
  2. Choose a bodysuit to go with: lace, ribbed cotton, or an original model. 
  3. Add a bottom like a skirt or shorts in the style you wish to wear.
  4. Select a jacket: blazer, perfecto, denim jacket, or even a faux fur coat?
  5. Don't forget to match the outfit with your favorite shoes: heels, chelsea boots, derbies, or sneakers depending on your mood!

What outfits to pair with a bodysuit?

The bodysuit is a versatile piece that adapts to all your desires. Don't hesitate to create a look that reflects you by playing with accessories. A belt can cinch the waist, while a leather or denim jacket iconic to your wardrobe will add your personal touch to the outfit! Here are two looks we recommend:

  1. For a refined outfit, pair the bodysuit with a pencil skirt or a fitted skirt. This combination highlights your silhouette by emphasizing the upper body and your legs. Lace bodysuits pair particularly well with skirts for a guaranteed glamorous effect!
  2. If you want a more casual style, the bodysuit with jeans is a must-have. High-waisted jeans create a harmonious silhouette by accentuating the waist. For a casual chic look, choose a long-sleeved bodysuit or one with a turtleneck, paired with denim jeans and a pair of white sneakers.

The bodysuit is truly the ideal garment for creating varied and trendy outfits!

What types of tights to choose?

The choice of tights is essential to perfect your outfit with a bodysuit. The black tights remain a timeless classic that goes with all colors and styles of bodysuits. They slim the leg and enhance your look.


For a big occasion, polka dot tights or those with hearts, fishnet or lace will add very sexy details. But be careful not to create a look that is too busy by choosing both a lace bodysuit AND lace tights. Creating contrast is very important to allow the elements of the outfit to express their full potential!


Finally, there are also practical tights to meet your various needs: 

  • the fleece-lined tights when it's cold; 
  • the shaping tights to slim the waist. 

At Les Petits Imprimés, we offer a wide range of tights to wear with your bodysuits. Patterned, fleece-lined, or footed, you will surely find the model you need!

How to create an elegant look?

For an elegant look, the bodysuit is your best asset. It highlights the upper body and, when paired with well-chosen pieces, ensures you a flawless appearance. 


For an evening outfit, pair a black lace bodysuit with a flowing long skirt or tailored pants. Add heels and discreet jewelry to perfect the ensemble.


Moreover, the shaping tights worn with a bodysuit help to harmonize the silhouette, making the bodysuit even more flattering. But don't forget that details make the difference: a bodysuit with a nice neckline or a backless design will add an extra dimension to the outfit. 


Finally, play with materials and textures to create a unique outfit that reflects your personality!

How to wear a bodysuit for a special occasion?

For an evening or a special event, the lace bodysuit is a refined option. It can be worn as the main piece of your outfit. Pair it with palazzo pants or a long skirt for a dramatic effect. Accessories like an elegant clutch and high heels will complete your look.


If you are looking for a professional look, a turtleneck bodysuit paired with tailored pants creates a chic yet understated outfit. Thanks to the comfort of this combination, you will feel even more at ease during your important meetings!


For a casual yet chic outfit, a knit bodysuit worn with high-waisted jeans and a pair of ankle boots is an excellent option. The possibilities are endless, and the bodysuit adapts to all occasions!

How to wear tights in winter?

In winter, opaque tights are the best way to stay warm while remaining elegant. Pair them with a long-sleeve bodysuit for a comfortable outfit. Warm tights, made of fleece, wool, or cashmere, are perfect for facing the coldest temperatures.


The nude fleece tights create the illusion of bare legs to keep the milder seasons alive through your clothing. Feel free to play with textures and colors to energize your outfit. A knit bodysuit with colorful tights can add originality to a outfit that is otherwise simple. 


At Les Petits Imprimés, you will find all the elements to wear a bodysuit with tights. Thanks to our selection and all our tips, this look has no secrets for you!
