It’s the piece that has become the unofficial uniform of the “Monica Roses” (a term coined for clients of the celebrity stylist) and their ilk. The Kim Kardashians, Kendall Jenners and Gigi Hadids of the world. For the hot-bodded stars who like to get their assets out there and on display, the bodysuit works perfectly. But don’t panic, we’re not suggesting you opt for head-to-toe Lyrca.

To make it palatable for the non-Instagram famous, it’s about styling it with something less fitted, vintage Levi’s mom jeans, a wide legged pant. Or channel a balletic vibe and team a long-sleeved bodysuit with a high-waisted flowing skirt. Wearer PSA: using the ladies room while wearing a bodysuit is a lesson in dexterity and patience. And don’t under any means wear a bodysuit under a jumpsuit or you may not live to tell the tale.
