A bodysuit is one of those wardrobe staples that can completely transform the way you get dressed. Simple, flattering and incredibly versatile, it creates a sleek base for countless outfits and works beautifully across every season.
Whether you're heading to work, meeting friends for lunch, going away for the weekend or dressing for an evening out, knowing what to wear with a bodysuit makes creating an outfit much easier.
At RELR, we believe the best wardrobe pieces are the ones you can wear in more than one way. Here's how to style a bodysuit with some of the most versatile pieces in your wardrobe.
Why a Bodysuit Is Such a Versatile Wardrobe Essential
Unlike a traditional top, a bodysuit stays neatly in place throughout the day. There's no constant adjusting or tucking, which makes it an easy foundation for everything from tailored trousers to flowing skirts.
It can be dressed up or down, layered underneath jackets or worn as part of a simple everyday outfit.

1. What to Wear with a Bodysuit and Wide-Leg Trousers
One of the easiest ways to style a bodysuit is with wide-leg trousers.
The fitted shape of the bodysuit balances the relaxed silhouette of wide-leg trousers, creating a flattering and polished outfit.
The Liv Trousers are perfect for this combination. Add loafers and a blazer for a smart daytime look, or swap them for heels and statement jewellery when you're heading out in the evening.

2. Style a Bodysuit with a Blazer
Adding a blazer instantly makes a bodysuit feel more polished.
A fitted bodysuit underneath a tailored blazer creates a clean silhouette that's ideal for work, dinners, lunches or smart-casual occasions.
For a relaxed look, pair the combination with trainers. For something more sophisticated, choose loafers or heels.
It's a simple formula that can be adapted throughout the year by changing your outer layers and accessories.
3. Wear a Bodysuit for an Evening Out
A bodysuit can be surprisingly elegant when styled for the evening.
Pair yours with tailored trousers, statement jewellery and heels for a sophisticated outfit that's perfect for dinner or drinks.
Because the bodysuit creates a smooth, streamlined shape, you can add more dramatic accessories without the outfit feeling overly complicated.
4. Create a Relaxed Weekend Outfit
For weekends, keep your bodysuit simple and comfortable.
Pair it with relaxed trousers, jeans or a casual skirt, then add trainers and a crossbody bag.
The result is effortless rather than overly styled, making it perfect for shopping, coffee with friends or a relaxed lunch.
5. Layer Your Bodysuit Throughout the Seasons
One of the biggest advantages of a bodysuit is how easily it can be layered.
During spring and summer, wear it with trousers or skirts and lightweight jackets.
As the weather gets cooler, add knitwear, blazers or coats to create warm, layered outfits without adding unnecessary bulk.
This makes a bodysuit a genuinely useful wardrobe staple rather than a piece you'll only wear for one season.
Build a Wardrobe Around Versatile Pieces
The most useful wardrobes are made up of pieces that work together.
A bodysuit can be paired with The Liv Trousers for smart-casual outfits, while a beautiful maxi dress can provide an effortless alternative when you want something more feminine.
