If there's one piece that has quietly taken over closets across the country, it's the bodysuit. It tucks itself in, it never rides up, and it somehow makes throwing together an outfit at 7 a.m. feel effortless. At Grace+Emma, our Bodysuits Collection was built with exactly that in mind — pieces that layer beautifully under a blazer for work, dress up with a skirt for a night out, and still feel soft enough to live in on a lazy Sunday.
In this guide, we're walking you through the full collection: the sparkle pieces, the ruffle-sleeve favorites, the florals, and the classic ribbed staples, plus the colorways each one comes in. We'll also help you figure out sizing, share fabric and care tips, and show you exactly how to style each bodysuit with pieces already living in your Grace+Emma wardrobe.
Grace+Emma was built on a simple idea: every woman deserves clothing that feels like it was designed with her in mind, for the real moments that make up her week — the school run, the girls' trip, the wedding, the Tuesday that somehow feels like a Friday. The bodysuit collection is a perfect example of that philosophy in action. It's a category built for real life, not just for a photoshoot, which is why fit, comfort, and versatility come before anything else in how we choose each style and colorway.
Why a Bodysuit Belongs in Every Wardrobe
Bodysuits solve a problem that regular tops just can't. Anyone who has spent an entire day at brunch or a concert tugging a blousy top back into place understands the appeal instantly. A snap-closure bottom means your bodysuit stays tucked, your silhouette stays clean, and you get to actually enjoy your day instead of managing your outfit.
They're also one of the most versatile pieces you can own. A single bodysuit can be:
- Tucked into high-waisted denim for a casual daytime look
- Paired with a skirt for date night
- Layered under a cardigan or vest for cooler weather
- Worn solo with shorts for a warm-weather night out
That kind of flexibility is exactly why the Grace+Emma bodysuit collection keeps growing every season, and why so many of our customers tell us they own more than one color.
Bodysuit vs. Regular Top: What's the Difference?
It's a fair question if you've never owned one. A regular tee or blouse is cut to hang loose at the hem, which means it's always at risk of untucking the moment you sit down, reach up, or spend a few hours on your feet. A bodysuit is essentially a top and a built-in base layer in one — the snap closure at the bottom keeps the fabric anchored against your body, so the tuck you styled in the morning is the same tuck you have at the end of the day.
This also means a bodysuit tends to smooth out bulk at the waistline in a way a regular tucked-in top can't. There's no extra fabric bunching under your jeans or skirt, which is part of why bodysuits have become such a popular base layer for going-out looks and structured, tailored outfits alike. Once you own one that fits well, it's easy to see why so many women replace half their tucked-in tops with bodysuits instead.
Shop the Collection: Colors, Textures & Details
Below is a closer look at some of the standout styles in the collection right now, along with their available colorways. Every bodysuit is designed with a snap closure at the bottom, so no matter which one you choose, you're getting that signature tucked-in, no-shifting fit.
Starlit Glam Bodysuit
The Starlit Glam Bodysuit is our sparkle statement piece. It has a figure-hugging silhouette with a delicate, all-over shimmer that photographs beautifully under evening lighting, making it a go-to for birthdays, holiday parties, and anything with a dance floor. It's cut from a soft, high-stretch fabric so the sparkle never feels stiff or itchy, and it closes with a snap bottom for all-night wear.
Available colors: Pink and Hot Pink. Pair either shade with our metallic skirts for a full sparkle moment, or ground the shine with simple black denim.
The Eloise Ruffle Sleeve Bodysuit
Sweet, feminine, and endlessly wearable, the Eloise Ruffle Sleeve Bodysuit takes the basic tee shape and adds a soft ruffle at the sleeve for a touch of romance. It's a piece that works just as easily with jeans and sneakers as it does with a tailored skirt for the office.
Available colors: White/Beige and Magenta. The white version is a closet staple that goes with nearly everything, while the magenta option adds instant color to a neutral bottom.
Kelly Bodysuit
Ribbed, relaxed, and finished with a subtle shoulder cutout, the Kelly Bodysuit is the collection's laid-back, true-to-size option. The ribbed knit gives it a bit more structure than our stretch styles, and the relaxed bust makes it comfortable for all-day wear.
Available color: Orange — a warm, rich tone that layers beautifully under our jackets and shackets once temperatures drop, or works solo with white denim for a sunny-day pop of color.
Love On Top Bodysuit
For a bolder, more fitted option, the Love On Top Bodysuit uses a ribbed fabric to create a sleek, elevated shape that's perfect for a going-out top. It's the kind of piece that needs almost no accessorizing — just add a great pair of jeans or a leather skirt and you're done.
Available color: Hot Pink. This one pairs especially well with dark-wash denim and one of our statement necklaces for an effortless night-out look.
Floral Sleeve Bodysuits
If you love a print, the floral sleeve bodysuits are a favorite. Both the Rust Floral Sleeve Bodysuit and the Olive Floral Sleeve Bodysuit feature a solid body with a floral-print sleeve, giving you the print trend without overwhelming your whole outfit. They transition easily from a casual day with jeans to a dressed-up evening with a skirt, which is part of why they've become such a repeat favorite among our customers.
Available colors: Rust and Olive — both rich, warm tones that work beautifully for fall styling, especially paired with our Western Muse collection or a suede skirt.
How to Style Your Bodysuit for Any Occasion
One of the best things about building your wardrobe around bodysuits is how much mileage you get out of a single piece. Here are a few of our favorite ways to wear them:
Casual Daytime
Tuck a solid bodysuit like the Kelly or Eloise into a pair of high-waisted jeans, add sneakers, and you have an errand-day outfit that still looks pulled together. Swap the jeans for shorts in warmer months for the same effortless effect.
Office Ready
A neutral bodysuit like the white Eloise tucked into tailored pants or a pencil skirt, topped with a blazer or cardigan, reads polished without feeling stiff. Because the bodysuit is fitted and tucked, you skip the constant shirt-adjusting that comes with regular blouses.
Night Out
This is where the Starlit Glam and Love On Top bodysuits shine — literally, in the case of the glitter style. Pair either with a mini or midi skirt, add a pair of heels, and finish with statement earrings for an outfit that photographs as well as it feels.
Gameday & Western Looks
The Kelly Bodysuit and floral sleeve styles both work seamlessly into gameday and Western Muse outfits. Tuck one into your favorite denim, add a belt, and top it with a hat for a look that's ready for tailgates or a night at the honky-tonk.
Cool-Weather Layering
Don't put your bodysuits away once temperatures drop. Layer one underneath a cardigan, quarter-zip, or jacket, and you've got a warm, comfortable base layer that also looks great the moment you take the top layer off.
Travel Days
Bodysuits are also a smart choice for travel, since they eliminate one of the most annoying parts of a long flight or car ride: a shirt that keeps working its way out of your waistband every time you shift in your seat. Pair one with comfortable, stretch-friendly bottoms from our Travel Edit for an outfit that looks put together at the airport and still feels good ten hours later.
Swim Cover-Up Days
On beach or pool days, a bodysuit can double as a chic cover-up base. Throw one on over your swimsuit with a pair of shorts as you head from the pool to lunch, and you'll skip the awkward in-between outfit stage entirely.
Finding Your Perfect Fit
Every Grace+Emma bodysuit is built on the same size range, so once you know your number, you can shop the whole collection with confidence. Here's the general body measurement guide used across the collection:
| Size | Traditional Size | Bust | Waist | Hip/Seat |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| XS | 0-2 | 30-32" | 24-26" | 31-33" |
| S | 2-4 | 32-34" | 26-28" | 34-38" |
| M | 6-8 | 34-36" | 28-30" | 39-41" |
| L | 10-12 | 36-38" | 30-32" | 42-45" |
| XL | 14-16 | 38-40" | 32-34" | 46-49" |
| 2XL | 18 | 40-44" | 34-36" | 50-53" |
| 3XL | 20 | 44"+ | 36-40" | 53"+ |
A few fit notes worth keeping in mind as you shop:
- The Starlit Glam Bodysuit runs large — many customers find sizing down works well.
- The Kelly Bodysuit has a relaxed, true-to-size fit with extra room through the bust.
- The Eloise Ruffle Sleeve Bodysuit has a fitted silhouette, so if you prefer a looser feel, consider sizing up.
If you're ever between sizes, our customer care team is always happy to help — just reach out through our Contact Us page.
It's also worth measuring yourself against the chart rather than relying on your usual size in other brands, since fit can vary quite a bit between a ribbed knit like the Kelly Bodysuit and a stretch-sparkle piece like the Starlit Glam. Taking two minutes with a soft measuring tape before you order is the easiest way to avoid a return down the line, and it means your bodysuit will actually deliver that smooth, tucked-in look it's designed for.
Fabric & Care
Most Grace+Emma bodysuits are made from a poly-spandex blend (typically 96% polyester, 4% spandex) that gives them the stretch and recovery needed to hold their shape wear after wear. To keep colors vibrant and fabric intact:
- Hand wash in cold water
- Do not bleach
- Hang or lay flat to dry
- Avoid high heat, which can break down the stretch fibers over time
A little extra care upfront goes a long way toward making sure your favorite colorway stays in rotation for seasons to come.
It's also worth noting that stretch fabrics like these are designed to move with your body throughout the day, which is part of what makes bodysuits so comfortable for long wear — whether that's a full workday, a wedding reception, or a flight across the country. Because the fabric has recovery built in, a well-cared-for bodysuit should keep its shape wash after wash rather than stretching out and losing its snug, tucked-in fit.
If you're planning to wear a bodysuit under another layer, like a blazer or cardigan, it's a good idea to size accordingly so the fabric isn't pulling tight across the shoulders or bust when you move. A slightly more relaxed fit, like the Kelly Bodysuit's TTS cut, tends to layer more comfortably than our more fitted, stretch-forward styles.
Building Your Bodysuit Capsule
If you're just starting to build out your bodysuit collection, a good approach is to grab one neutral (like the white Eloise), one statement color (Orange Kelly or Hot Pink Love On Top), and one going-out piece (Starlit Glam). From there, you can mix in a floral sleeve style once the seasons change. Check our New Arrivals page regularly, since new colorways and silhouettes are added to the bodysuit collection often, and our Best Sellers page is a great shortcut if you want to shop what everyone else is already loving.
Bodysuits also pair naturally with the rest of our Tops lineup, including our Basics and Blouses, so you can layer and mix pieces across your whole closet rather than treating your bodysuits as a one-off category.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do Grace+Emma bodysuits run true to size?
It depends on the style. Ribbed styles like the Kelly Bodysuit run relaxed and true to size, while sparkle and fitted styles like the Starlit Glam tend to run large. Check the individual product description for model measurements and fit notes before ordering.
Can I wear a bodysuit without anything over it?
Absolutely. Many of our bodysuits, especially the ribbed and floral sleeve styles, are designed to be worn on their own with jeans, shorts, or a skirt. The snap closure keeps everything in place all day.
What's the easiest way to dress a bodysuit up for evening?
Swap your daytime bottoms for a skirt, add heels, and layer on a few pieces from our accessories collection. A bodysuit that works for brunch can just as easily work for a dinner reservation with a few small swaps.
How do I know which colors are currently in stock?
Because colorways sell out quickly, we recommend checking the Bodysuits Collection page directly, where you can filter by size and color to see what's currently available.
Can I return or exchange a bodysuit if the fit isn't right?
Yes. Bodysuits can be returned or exchanged within 30 days of delivery as long as they meet our standard return conditions. Full details are available on our Returns & Exchanges page.
What should I wear underneath a bodysuit?
Most of our customers wear their usual everyday undergarments, choosing seamless styles when they can to avoid visible lines under more fitted colorways like the Love On Top Bodysuit. Because the fabric has good stretch and recovery, it moves comfortably with whatever you're wearing underneath.
What Our Customers Are Saying
Bodysuits consistently come up as one of the pieces our community reaches for again and again, and it's easy to see why once you try one on. Customers regularly mention how soft the fabric feels against the skin and how well the ruffle and floral sleeve details hold up wash after wash. That kind of repeat-purchase loyalty is exactly what led us to keep expanding this collection with new colors and silhouettes each season, and it's part of why the bodysuit category has become one of the most-loved corners of the Grace+Emma site.
