At Tatu Couture underwear as outerwear has always been at the heart of our Brand DNA with our bodysuits featuring a timeless sensibility that makes them one of our key perennial pieces. Iconic, sexy, with versatile appeal, they are the epitome of effortless style. Bodysuits have been trending for a long time, they have come a long way since the first fashion incarnation in the 1980's when Donna Karen introduced the concept of "seven easy pieces" - a wardrobe centred around the bodysuit. Now they are no longer thought of as just a piece of lingerie that is sexy to wear in the bedroom.
Over the last couple of years, bodysuits have become a must-have piece in any fashion lover’s wardrobe, and there is a bodysuit for everyone. No matter what your personal style, bodysuits are the sartorial solve for many an outfit predicament. They are perfect for achieving a fitted and seamless look that’s impossible to conceal underneath delicate fabrics like silk or body-skimming silhouettes.
If you’ve never been taken with the all-in-one piece, now’s the time to embrace it as one of your go-to looks. We’ve rounded up our 5 favourite looks to show you all the different ways you can incorporate them into your wardrobe.
DAY TO NIGHT
A designer bodysuit boasts infinite versatility and part of what makes it so appealing is its endless possibilities; simply add a pair of wide-leg pants and team with an oversized blazer to the office then add a slick of lipstick and some killer heels for a sophisticated take on day-to-night style.
"A silk Blouse bodysuit is a wardrobe icon for a reason – it will never date, and it offers so many styling opportunities".
