Well, yes and no. Yes, because there are few women who can effectively pull off the unitard-as-outfit. But no, because the unitard can be a very comfortable, functional, and even stylish layering piece in cold weather. And since winter’s just around the bend, it’s the perfect time to lay out the dos and don’ts of styling unitards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
How to wear a unitard<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Do wear a unitard as a base layer for warmth.<\/strong> A unitard is nearly undetectable beneath a maxi dress or wide-legged pants<\/a> \u2014 making it a nice way to warm up without bulk. If warmth is your end-game, choose a breathable cotton unitard in nude or black.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Do wear a unitard as a base layer for style. <\/strong>When warmth takes a backseat to style, pair your cute unitard with a flowy kimono or a high-waisted denim skirt. The key (to avoiding the trashy look) is to select companion pieces that are loose and fall away from the body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Do wear a unitard to sample sales<\/a>, or the thrift store. <\/strong>A body-hugging garment is an advantage when you need to try on clothes and there’s no fitting room nearby.

But a plain old cotton unitard? Just say no.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Don’t wear a unitard to have tea with your devout Catholic mother-in-law.<\/strong> The unitard is a racy, sexy garment \u2014 an inappropriate choice for traditional occasions and traditional company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Are you inspired to try a unitard, or deadset against it?
