Bodysuits? Are they dated?

I've seen a few long sleeved bodysuits and thought they might look nice with some skirts I have ie slimming my silhouette. Are they considered dated now?

I know they haven’t always been in fashion/available in the shops, but I don’t see how they can really be any more dated than the equivalent top - after all, they just look like a top tucked in when you wear them. So maybe a cold shoulder bodysuit might not be in fashion, but a plain turtleneck or scoop neck would just look like a top. I’ll be wearing mine as long as I can because I like a warm stomach and a smooth line on a tucked in top Smile

Have they not just come back in?
I remember wearing them in the late 80's going out clubbing trying to do the studs back up after one too many drinks whilst trying to hold the loo door shut in some dodgy club🤣

They seem to back in now. So not dated atm.

No, they're classic, a true wardrobe staple; I have many!

There are loads of elegant ones in Boohoo but I was dithering!

Beware the fastenings! Make sure you can do them up easily and comfortably. And that they stay done up with some normal body movement.

The crotch can have that ouch factor. I lost my virginity all over again twice in one night. 😂
