Somehow, overnight, bodysuits became a wardrobe essential for a variety of reasons. They can act as a compressive undergarment that makes everything look smooth and seamless under your closest-fitting clothing. Or, you pair one with your favorite jeans and have an effortlessly cool outfit that’s also comfortable.
It’s true that Kim Kardashian’s intimates and loungewear brand Skims has dominated the bodysuit market and their designs are beloved by many, including our very own editors. But just in case you’re not a fan of the Skims price point or maybe the material isn’t supportive enough for your needs, we were curious about other bodysuit brand options out there that passed muster with our editors and reviewers alike.
Stay tuned for the upcoming list of incredibly flattering suits that might not bear the Skims name but look and feel incredible, according to reviews. You’ll find everything from a TikTok-viral ribbed suit tank made from a compressive fabric to my personal favorite V-neck bodysuit that makes me feel like a million bucks.

Promising Amazon review: “I love this bodysuit so much. I have tried so many and found them to be so uncomfortable, mostly because they give such bad wedgies. This material is nice and thin so it doesn’t get too bulky and it’s super silky and smooth. There have been no wedgies even after wearing them for awhile. It’s not super tight but at the same time it’s very flattering.
The shape is great because you can bear it with sweatpants for something casual, or pair it with a nicer pair of pants or jeans as well.” — Amanda Gross
Promising Amazon review: “Best body suit/ Shapewear I’ve ever bought. I had a specific button up silk top I was dying to wear and it would gape between the buttons around the bust/waist…. I tried all Shapewear I could think of to try to cinch in my waist/bust to make it fit properly, and nothing worked… I bought this on a whim seeing it on tiktok desperately looking for solutions and was SHOCKED at how snatched it made me and my top fits perfectly now! I am sooo grateful I can wear this top to my event without it gaping between the buttons. Not only that sooo many clothes in my closet fit me again! I had a ton of silk blouses that were busting out between the buttons around the bust and now they all look so smooth and fit perfect. Also some Bodycon dresses I felt really insecure wearing from my tummy before look amazing now. Thank you for making this perfect product. Bought in another color immediately. Also the snap in the crotch is actually very easy to undo and redo, and it’s super comfortable…so no issues with that. Buy it, you’ll love it! I’m a 12 usually and got L/XL.” — lydia velichkovski
Promising Amazon review: “I am a 50 year old wife and mom to a 24 year old, 10 year old and an 11 year old…plus a preschool director with a staff of much younger teachers to work with … there’s a slight requirement for me to NOT look my age. I am 5’6” and weigh about 185-190 when I’ve eaten like I want to for a week … we live in middle Georgia where it doesn’t get too cold for more than a few days so mostly all we need to do is layer for warmth. So this is where these come in. Sooooo smooth. So soft. So comfortable. So stylish ! I was shocked that the onesie wedgie was not terrible and I was comfortable ALL day – I could even slip off my sweatshirt / sweater if I got too warm and felt confident I still looked presentable. I bought these in 2 colors and absolutely love them.” — C. Gibson
Promising Amazon review: “It’s perfect. I don’t even have to wear a bra with the white one because of the double lining and type of fabric. It’s flattering, good for those with long torsos, washes well, and can be paired with just about anything. Just get it. Get it in all colors.” — Amber Smith
Promising Nordstrom review: “Breathable material. Adequate support for built in bra. Has grips on the bottom so it doesn’t ride up. Could wear all day without feeling uncomfortable. Usually size L but the M fits me best. Had to purchase another.” — CJ54376
Promising Honeylove review: “I loved the white tank bodysuit. It fit so well and hugged me in all the right places. My white dress was semi sheer so I needed to feel comfortable and I absolutely did with this bodysuit. Easy to remove clips while in the ladies room. Able to dance without feeling restricted because the bodysuit was very breathable! I own the black one too!” — Rita W.
Promising Spanx review: “Love these bodysuits, I ordered one in white and one in black. They fit great, firm up my rolls and are easy to unfasten when needed.i don’t have to worry about the shirt untucking when it is worn. Love them.” — Linda P.

Promising Amazon review: “I’m 5’3” and 170. I don’t look like it with this! It sucks in my mommy tummy and I can wear waist high jeans with confidence! Love these body suits. I usually wear a medium but ordered a small. Could’ve probably gone down to an XS if they had that as an option. It’s stretchy and super soft.” — Andrew Roberts
