It\u2019s been brought to my attention that some people just don\u2019t get<\/em> bodysuits. \u201cWhy not just wear a shirt?\u201d they argue. \u201cHow\u2019s that body suit really benefiting you?\u201d they ask. And while I myself am a bodysuit apologist \u2014 you’ll find a full stock in my closet \u2014 I fully understand these questions do have some merit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bodysuit as lifestyle<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You see, bodysuits aren\u2019t just a clothing type. They\u2019re more of a lifestyle, much like the beloved crop-top, for example. You have to love them enough to deal with the inconvenience of disrobing every time you head to the ladies room. And, since most have some kind of V-neck, scoop back or low arm holes, you\u2019re also almost always out of luck in the bra department too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But there\u2019s no denying you feel a little sexier when you put one on. I\u2019ll say it, they\u2019re just a little more fun. It doesn\u2019t do anything that a cami, halter or tube top can\u2019t, except maybe give you the option to go pants-free, if you\u2019re into running around like that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The secret to loving the bodysuit<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I have a little secret to my bodysuits. And that is, they’re actually swimsuits. That\u2019s right, some of my favorite \u201cbodysuits\u201d challenge the utility notion by doubling down as pool and beach-friendly swimwear. And I wear them on the regular, not just when I\u2019m heading out to a backyard BBQ or party by the water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You don\u2019t have to be splishing and splashing in one every time you rock it, but having that as an option instantly ups a bodysuit\u2019s value. You\u2019re going to get far more use out of a piece that seamlessly fits into both areas of your vacation wardrobe<\/a> \u2014 separates and<\/em> swimwear \u2014 than a more traditional top, even a top with major mix and match capabilities. Wear bodysuits with all of your summer favorites: crop denim and jean shorts<\/a>, wrap skirts or wide leg trousers<\/a>. Plus, swimsuits are made to get wet, so no worries about sweating in the nylon fabrics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
