The bodysuit is the most graphic piece of lingerie: a single fabric that draws the whole torso, from the shoulders to the crotch, and sculpts the silhouette in one line. Lace bodies, mesh models, more daring open versions, suspender bodysuits, fitted catsuits or wetlook finishes: this category brings together pieces made to be shown off as much as worn underneath, from the most dressed-up to the most playful.
A bodysuit dresses the torso in one go: no seam at the waist, no panel riding up, just a continuous line that follows the body from the shoulders to the crotch. It's this unity that makes it a piece apart — at once underwear, a top to wear on its own and a statement of style. It slips under jeans as easily as it shows under an open jacket.
In this category, you'll find lace bodysuits, graphic mesh models, more daring open versions, suspender bodysuits, fitted catsuits that extend the line down the legs, as well as wetlook or vinyl finishes. Everything to move from the most dressed-up to the boldest, depending on the moment and the mood.
The bodysuit's particular trick is that it never settles for one role. The same model can disappear under an outfit, become the top of an evening or be kept for a moment of intimacy — it all depends on how much you decide to show.
It all depends on use. To wear under a garment, a microfibre or soft lace bodysuit disappears and shapes without adding bulk. To show off, mesh, embroidered tulle or wetlook draw the eye. And for a moment of intimacy, an open or open-cup model changes the register while keeping the line of the body.
Then think about the fastening and the cut. Most bodysuits close with a snap crotch, practical and discreet; some open entirely. Check the height of the armholes and the back too: a racer back supports, a bare back is best kept for braless outfits. Size is chosen mainly on torso length, to stop the piece pulling at the shoulders.
From the most covering model to the most minimal, the catalogue falls into a few main families. Here are the markers to find your way.
The most feminine piece in the category: lace and embroidered tulle dress the torso, play on transparency in places and work both underneath and on show. A safe bet for those who want softness and a dressed-up effect.
Graphic and airy, they draw the body through plays of net and straps. Mesh hints at the skin and adds an instant sensual touch. Light and stretchy, it hugs every body type.
Made for intimacy, they bare the bust, the crotch or both, while keeping the bodysuit's structure on the body. Open-cup models, open crotch or daring cut-outs: they play the card of desire frankly.
They extend the piece with straps running down towards the thighs, ready to hold stockings. A built, elegant silhouette that structures the whole lower body and dresses a moment of seduction as much as an evening look.
When the bodysuit lengthens, it becomes a catsuit: a single piece that covers the legs too, often in mesh or a fitted fabric. Spectacular to wear, it wraps the whole body in one continuous line.
Wetlook mimics the wet effect of vinyl, for a glossy, graphic finish. Bolder, these bodysuits dress the silhouettes that want to catch the eye and own a frankly provocative register.
The bodysuit stops at the crotch: it dresses the torso and slips easily under trousers, a skirt or shorts. It's a piece for everyday as much as for seduction, versatile and easy to pair. You pull it on quickly and it disappears under an outfit or shows on its own, as you please.
The catsuit covers the legs too and wraps the body in one line. More spectacular, it's often kept for the moments when you want a strong effect — an evening, a bit of staging, an instant for two. Less practical for everyday, it plays the presence card fully. It's up to each person to choose between versatility and impact.
A few simple pointers are enough to find the model that really suits you and keep it in good shape.
At Tentations, we've gathered everything you need to dress the torso in every register: lace, embroidered tulle, mesh, open models, suspender bodysuits, fitted catsuits and wetlook finishes, in a range of cuts designed for every body type.
You'll find both pieces to wear under an outfit or show as an evening top and models frankly made for intimacy. The bodysuit is probably the most versatile piece of lingerie — it's up to each person to make of it what they want.
If you're unsure, start with a lace or soft mesh bodysuit, easy to wear and flattering. You can then explore open models, suspender bodysuits or catsuits to vary the effects, occasion by occasion.
It's a one-piece item of lingerie that covers the torso, from the shoulders to the crotch, with no seam at the waist. It's worn under a garment, on its own as a top or during a moment of intimacy.
The bodysuit stops at the crotch and dresses the torso. The catsuit extends the piece down the legs and wraps the whole body, for a more spectacular effect.
Go by your top size and hip measurement, taking your torso length into account. A bodysuit that's too short pulls at the shoulders and crotch.
It depends on the back. A bodysuit with a covering back takes a bra; a bare-back or very low-cut model is designed to be worn on its own.
Most bodysuits close with snaps at the crotch, discreet and practical for dressing. Some models open entirely and are kept for intimacy.
Favour a gentle wash at low temperature and flat drying, avoiding the tumble dryer. This preserves the lace, mesh, wetlook and elasticity over time.
