Wondering how to wear a bodystocking?
It’s not as intimidating as you think.
The bodystocking went from an 1800’s theater prop so actors could create the illusion of nudity for particular scenes. What was once a sheer undergarment meant to preserve an actor’s modesty, has transformed into a lingerie staple piece that can be worn inside and outside of the bedroom.
Shockingly comfortable, and endlessly versatile, here are all of the reasons you need at least two bodystockings of your own, how to wear them, and why–if you haven’t already– must buy this sexy masterpiece.
They Are Surprisingly Comfortable
Fashion-forward statement pieces aren’t always the most comfortable. Bodystockings are a seductive exception. Effortlessly hugging the body, they often induce a gentle stretch so you never feel restricted or restrained. From a sheer, pantyhose feel, to cotton, lace, nylon, lycra, spandex, or fishnet–bodystockings are always designed with the wearer in mind, making comfort nearly as important to sex appeal. After all, many physical activities are likely to take place while wearing a bodystocking. But that is entirely within your discretion, of course.
Bodystockings are Versatile
Beyond the bedroom, wear bodystockings as underwear under a full-coverage fit, paired with a crop and shorts for an LA rocker vibe. Supermodels, the Kardashians, and some of your favorite actresses have walked the red carpet in a glammed-up bodystocking. Paired with your favorite stilettos, you can rule your very own catwalk.
Bodystockings can be a little tricky to get into, but the payoff is beyond. Alternatively, a lightweight, pattern-free bodystocking can be worn as underwear to allow a gown to fall effortlessly away from the body or for an overall contoured look. As practical as it is versatile, how you wear a bodystocking is only limited to your imagination.
Easy to Accessorise
Wearing it completely alone is enough to start a fire in the bedroom, but if you’re going out or just like to be extra, here are the chicest ways to style and accessorize a bodystocking. Straight from the red carpet (again) is wearing a leather (or any high-fashion) bra underneath the bodystocking. That’s right, you can stylize it with what you wear underneath!
Showcase unparalleled sex appeal and elegance by pairing your bodystocking with a pencil skirt, and an undone button-down and thigh-high boots. Wear a bodystocking with only a classy coat draped around the body with the stocking barely peaking out. From subtle sass to bold and beautiful–it’s fun and easy to stylize and bodystocking. Feel free to experiment with layering other pieces.
Chunky bracelets, rings, and layered necklaces also pair like a dream with a patterned bodystocking. Pro-tip, be careful as you put on and remove the jewelry to prevent snagging.
Uplevel Your Lingerie
Want to venture outside of thongs and garter belts? Let’s face it when it comes to lingerie–it’s all been done before. Fortunately, bodystockings add a little bit of spice you can’t quite get from a lace bra and panty set.
Provocative, unique, and endlessly sexy– a bodystocking is the perfect way to inspire creativity if things have died in the bedroom or an otherwise perfect way to keep the passion alive. A bodystocking is an ideal piece of lingerie for special occasions.
Meet Your Fashion Goals
From elegant lingerie to trendy clubwear, your bodystocking will surpass your fashion goals. Tired of rotating the same night-out fits? Throw a body stocking into the mix. Punk it up with chunky boots, or add the feminine touch of heels, make it fun with platforms and other accessories mentioned above for the ultimate statement piece. But you don’t have to show off the entirety of your body stocking. For a unique twist, it isn’t uncommon to see only the sleeves and high-neck of a bodystocking. It gives a sexy accent to what would otherwise be just jeans and a tee.
They are (Super) Sexy
Bodystockings will undoubtedly be the most erotic lingerie. Bottom-drawer sexy wear has never been this fun. Indulge in a bodystocking made completely of fishnet for unlimited peek-a-boo with your beau. Complimenting the female figure, bodystockings show off her every curve, dip, and accentuates her natural beauty. A bodystocking can be as sexy or as modest as you’d like. On the erotic end of the spectrum are crotchless, bottomless, and nippleless options.
Made for All Body Types
Bodystockings are the most universal piece of lingerie and are designed for every shape and size. Choose from an extensive variety of sizes, contours, colors, and patterns that can accentuate your favorite bits. Confidently step into a bodystocking and watch it hug your figure in the sexiest way.
The continuation of fabric naturally elongates the body making you look longer and leaner without hiding your curves. The hard part won’t be finding a bodystocking that fits, it’ll be picking just one.
How to Wear a Bodystocking
As intimidating as it may seem, it’s actually pretty easy. Just take your time. Like you would do with other hosiery, start by scrunching the stocking into both hands and insert one foot, pulling the stocking up to your knees then scrunching and doing the same with the other foot. Once you’ve got both legs in up the thigh, you can pull both sides up by gently releasing just enough material and sliding it up to your waist.
As you reach the upper torso, adjust the fit in your legs thighs, and hips. Get comfortable and secure, then you can put your arms into the sleeves, one at a time. Then adjust the bust part of the bodystocking to your liking. Now that you’re in, adjust, pull, and move the stocking until your body feels hugged and cozy but still flexible and sexy. Do a full circle in the mirror to ensure holes, patterns, or lace are in the areas you want them. Now, you can begin to layer, style, and accessorize the undoubtedly sexiest piece of lingerie you own.
It’s time to stop writing off the ultimate erotic and feminine piece of lingerie that remains a showstopper in and outside of the boudoir.
