A knitted bodysuit: a perfect base for layered looks
A knitted bodysuit is a one-piece top that extends into a bottom section with a fastening, so it stays neatly in place under trousers or skirts during any movement. Unlike a regular top or tank top, a bodysuit keeps the silhouette defined and maintains a clean waistline. The Gepur women’s bodysuit collection includes styles made from both lightweight and structured knit fabrics for wearing on their own or as part of layered outfits.
What knit fabrics are Gepur bodysuits made from?
The main fabrics used are ribbed knit and smooth jersey with added elastane. An elastane content of 5–10% provides stretch and shape recovery: the knitted bodysuit fits close to the body without becoming stretched out at the elbows or around the lower section. Ribbed knit adds texture and structure, while viscose knit and modal provide softness and a smooth surface under fitted clothing. For the colder season, there are brushed, insulated styles that work as a warm base layer under a sweater or blazer.
Styles and cuts
The collection includes women’s knitted bodysuits in several cuts. A high-neck bodysuit covers the neck and can replace a long-sleeve top during the transitional seasons. Styles are available with long or short sleeves, thin straps, or a sleeveless cut. Design details include open backs, V-necklines, mesh inserts, and draping that helps soften the appearance of the midsection. A snap or hook-and-eye fastening at the gusset makes the bodysuit easier to put on, while some styles feature a one-piece design without a fastening.
“The main sign of a well-made knitted bodysuit is that it does not pull at the armholes or feel too tight around the fastening when you raise your arms. Choose a style in which the fabric immediately returns to its original shape after being stretched: pull the fabric across the ribs and release it. Snaps are more convenient than hooks for everyday wear.”
— Natali Bakaeva, GEPUR stylist
How to style a knitted bodysuit
A fitted top balances a voluminous bottom. Pair a bodysuit with high-waisted trousers or straight-leg jeans to keep the waistline defined without repeatedly tucking in or adjusting the fabric. With a straight-cut or pleated skirt, a bodysuit creates a neat, streamlined top, while a plain style worn under a blazer produces a polished silhouette without extra bulk at the waistband.
A smooth bodysuit works as a base layer under a knitted dress or sundress, while an evening look can be styled with a corset and a flared skirt. Seamless nude underwear is the best choice under fitted knitwear, as raised seams and lace may show through lightweight fabric.
Care and selection
Knitwear containing elastane should be washed in cool water at 30 °C, without high-speed spinning or drying on a radiator, so the fabric retains its shape for longer. You can buy a knitted bodysuit with delivery throughout Ukraine within 1–3 days and payment upon receipt. When you are unsure about the fit, a manager can confirm the measurements of a specific style before payment, while the outfits in the lookbook will help you create a complete look.
FAQ: frequently asked questions about knitted bodysuits
What knit fabrics are women’s bodysuits made from?
The most common options are ribbed knit and smooth jersey with elastane. Viscose and modal are also used to create a smooth, matte surface. Elastane provides stretch and helps the fabric return to its original shape. Insulated styles feature light brushing for the colder season.
What is the difference between a ribbed and a smooth bodysuit?
Ribbed knit is a textured fabric with vertical ridges. It is more structured, retains its shape better, and visually elongates the silhouette. Smooth knit is lighter and more even, making it suitable as an unobtrusive base under a blazer or dress. Ribbed styles are usually chosen for wearing on their own, while smooth fabrics work well in layered outfits.
Which knitted bodysuit should you choose for winter?
For the colder season, choose an insulated brushed style or a long-sleeved high-neck bodysuit. It works as a thin, warm layer under a sweater or blazer without adding bulk. During the transitional seasons, a structured ribbed knit without insulation is usually sufficient.
Does a knitted bodysuit stretch and retain its shape?
Yes. The elastane content allows the fabric to stretch and conform to the figure. High-quality knit fabric immediately returns to its original shape after being stretched. You can check this by pulling the fabric across the ribs and releasing it. When washed without high temperatures, the bodysuit retains its fit for a long time.
What type of fastening does a knitted bodysuit have?
The bottom section fastens at the gusset with snaps or hooks, making the bodysuit easier to put on and preventing the top from riding up. Snaps are more convenient for everyday wear, while hooks create a slightly flatter profile under fitted clothing. One-piece styles without a fastening are also available.
What should you wear under a knitted bodysuit to prevent underwear from showing?
Choose seamless nude underwear without decorative details or lace under lightweight, fitted knitwear. Raised seams and structured elements may show through the fabric and disrupt the smooth silhouette. A regular seamless bra in a skin-tone shade can be worn under structured ribbed knit.
How should you style a women’s knitted bodysuit?
Pair a fitted top with a more voluminous bottom, such as high-waisted trousers, straight-leg jeans, a straight-cut skirt, or a pleated skirt. A plain bodysuit creates a polished silhouette under a blazer, while a smooth style works as a base under a dress or sundress. For an evening look, combine the bodysuit with a corset or a flared skirt.
How should you wash a knitted bodysuit?
Wash it in cool water at 30 °C on a delicate cycle without intensive spinning. Dry it away from radiators and direct sunlight, laying the garment flat. This helps knit fabric containing elastane retain its stretch and prevents deformation.
