Looking to take your lace bodysuit from the sheets to the streets? While traditionally considered lingerie, lace bodysuits are now popping up in public all over the place. If you’re not sure how to rock this look without any wardrobe malfunctions, don’t worry! We’ve got tons of tips and tricks for helping you style a lace bodysuit perfectly.
Steps
1
Wear only the bodysuit if it’s lined.
-
Bodysuits aren’t designed to be a second layer—they usually go right against your skin. Many of them are lined to provide coverage for your nether regions and breasts, so you can wear them as-is! [1] X Research source
- The outfit options are endless with bodysuits! Everything from denim shorts to maxi skirts will work here—it just depends on the look you want to create.

2
Opt for pasties to cover just your nipples.
-
If you don’t want your undergarments on display, this is the best option. Pasties are sort of like stickers that cover your nipples. Choose a pair in a shade that best matches your skin tone and apply them directly over your nipples. [2] X Research source
- If you’ve got a fuller bust, you may want to pick an option with more support.
- A beige bodysuit would look great with black, high-waisted leather pants! Finish off your look with some bangle bracelets and ankle booties.
3
Put on a bralette or triangle bra for a traditional option.
-
These are both great options because of their slim design. Neither option has wires or much structure, so they fit better underneath a lace bodysuit than a traditional bra with cups. Because they aren’t bulky or busy, your lace bodysuit will still be the star of the show! [3] X Research source
- A lilac bralette underneath a lilac lace bodysuit and a white maxi skirt makes a sweet summer outfit.

Slip into a bandeau bra for a comfy feel.
5
Select thin panties if you choose to wear them.
-
You don’t have to wear panties underneath a bodysuit, but you can. If the idea of going commando skeeves you out, by all means, put on some undies. Choose a pair made of thin fabric, and opt for a sleek, seamless style. Bulky options like boyshorts won’t be ideal here, as the fabric could bunch up. [4] X Research sourceAdvertisement
6
Pick undergarments in the same color as your bodysuit to disguise them.
-
Matching your bra to your bodysuit is usually the way to go. [5] X Research source If, for instance, you’ve got a black lace bodysuit, a black bra is going to be your best bet. Creating a monochromatic look makes it harder to figure out where your bodysuit ends and your bra begins, making it less noticeable.
7
Wear a bright bra to add a pop of color to your outfit.
-
Try this option for a more daring look. If you’re wearing a pretty bralette, for example, it can become part of your outfit instead of just an undergarment. [6] X Research source A neon-orange bralette under a white lace bodysuit makes a show-stopping look for a night at the club. Add a denim mini skirt and boots to finish off your look.Advertisement
8
Put a long-sleeved top under your bodysuit for full coverage.
-
If you’re just not comfortable wearing a lace bodysuit by itself, add an underlayer! Pick a form-fitting top so you don’t have to worry about the fabric bunching up. [7] X Research source
- A tight, white long-sleeved top underneath a red lace bodysuit is a great option. Dress it down with denim shorts and sneakers, or add a pencil skirt and pumps to take your look to the next level.
9
Layer a jacket over your bodysuit to make it more modest.
-
Toss on an outer layer if you’re feeling a bit shy. [8] X Expert Source Kalee Hewlett
Fashion Stylist Expert Interview. 23 April 2019. A jacket is also a great option to keep you covered up between the car and the club, for example. [9] X Research source- Dark skinny jeans, a black lace bodysuit, and leopard pumps is a sexy, chic outfit option. Add a blazer and clutch and head out the door!

10
Cover yourself up with a scarf or shawl if it’s chilly.
-
A simple wrap can help keep you warm and covered. Wrap a scarf around the back of your neck, position the ends over your breasts, and hold it in place with a belt at your waist. This clever little hack offers coverage without compromising style. As an alternative, just wrap a shawl around your shoulders!
