How to Wear: body suit with shorts

This post may contain affiliate links. Purchasing through them helps support this website. This post may also contain items gifted for consideration.

Interested in the body suit with shorts trend? I was too. But realistically……I'm a 43 year old woman with a curvier, pear shaped body. I wasn't sure about this one. Until I tried it. Buckle up, cause….. a body suit with shorts might just be my new favorite athleisure wear item and I found some great options at all price points!

Body suit with shorts: outfit ideas and how to style

I have to be honest. This all started with the lululemon body suit with shorts. I saw content creator after content creator sharing how much they loved it online. But that price point? I just couldn't justify it if I wouldn't wear it. Was I REALLY going to run around in a head to toe spandex romper? Like what people wear in wrestling? You've thought it too right?

Enter Walmart. Yup, Walmart does it again. I noticed they had a cute new ribbed version of the body suit with shorts I'd been eyeing. And for under $40 (with free returns if I hated it)…..I decided it was worth a shot.

Looking for ways to style a body suit with shorts? These easy outfit ideas will get you started!

The bodysuit I got has a ribbed fabric and built in cups for support. With a size B cup, I had enough support to wear it without a bra (just for reference). I'm impressed. It's comfortable and it holds shape well for all day wear. I actually think it looks great on a curvier body. This particular body suit with shorts goes up to an XL, so not the greatest size range BUT I also tried and LOVE Old Navy's option which has a great size range from an XS to a 4X.

Now I get it. This is all very cute and trendy. But how are you supposed to ACTUALLY wear this spandex romper in real life? I have definitely worn the body suit on it's own with sneakers for a hike or walk, but I probably wouldn't wear it like that for day to day styling.

Body suit with shorts: fall outfit ideas

I look at my body suit with shorts as a base piece. What do I mean by that? I wear it as the initial layer for a full outfit.

A few of my favorite ways to style my body suit with shorts for cooler weather:

Flannel Vibes: The easiest and most casual outfit is probably also my favorite. I've been doing a flannel shacket and slip on sneakers with my body suit. It's comfy, it goes perfectly through the day and is great for school pick up and running errands.

These simple outfit ideas will help you to style a body suit with shorts for all kinds of occasions!

White Button Down: If I want something a little dressier? I love a white button down blouse(open of course) with taller socks and my white Nike Air Force Ones. For a little extra? I add some gold chunky necklaces and a belt bag.

Sporty: I love how comfortable this can be and I've been loving wearing my body suit to baseball games lately. Want a sportier vibe? Try styling your suit with an open jersey (I'm obsessed with the city connect ones from Nike), some platform converse and a great baseball hat. Bonus points for a stadium approved belt bag.

Comfy and Cozy: Want a soft and cozy look? You can go all the way and style your body suit with a soft long cardigan and clogs. It's comfortable, and such a good vibe. Literally, it feels like pajamas!

Now, if I’m being totally honest…..this pulled Now, if I’m being totally honest…..this pulled muscle? I should have known better.  When training for my race, I didn’t stretch or warm up enough most days and….here we are.Lesson learned.  I’m 4 weeks post race (do not recommend running a 10k on a pulled muscle) and I’m……almost better.  I’m learning to stretch and walk and to take better care of myself so that I can start running again REALLY soon (we’re almost there I think).For now? I’m doing recovery walks and trying to strengthen my leg.  And trying to make sure I get enough protein.  When I talked about Built Bars on my stories, a LOTTTTT of you raced about their Puffs.  Yup, I get it.  They’re AMAZING.  I’ve been bringing them along on my walks (and gluten free friends….they have some great options for us).Have you ever pulled a muscle? What was recovery like for you?#youGOTTAtrythis #BUILTProtein #BUILT #BUILTbar partner
💕Double Tap when you see who we found at the zo 💕Double Tap when you see who we found at the zoo (and swipe to the end for a close up)⠀⠀🌴Coming to San Diego for Spring Break or a Summer Vacation?⠀⠀📍Let’s talk San Diego Zoo (and yes, I got off a plane yesterday, picked up Lydia and we spent the afternoon at the zoo…..it was LOVELY).⠀⠀A few things to help you plan visits to San Diego and the Zoo:⠀1️⃣ the San Diego Zoo and Safari Park are NOT close together.  The Zoo is close to downtown, the Safari Park is about 25 miles north.  I’d suggest one day at each.  They’re totally unique and both worth a visit.  The Safari Park is smaller, but has REALLY unique exhibits (Walkabout Australia is my favorite).⠀2️⃣ both have some really fun and unique dining experiences that you can reserve in advance: Albert’s at the Zoo is a FANCY and fun sit down option, and The Watering Hole at Kijamii Overlook at the Safari Park is great for happy hour or a fun lunch ⠀3️⃣ there are great kids play areas at both locations, the Wildlife Explorers Base Camp area at the San Diego Zoo is brand new and absolutely amazing⠀⠀✨ Now, a bonus tip.  Undercover Tourist now has NATIONWIDE savings on over 500 attractions in 50 cities and up to 25% on tickets for theme parks, zoo, museums, aquariums, city tours, water parks, and movie tickets. And the deals they have for San Diego?  AMAZING (I’m sharing details in my stories).⠀⠀@themeparkfrog #UncoverSavingsNationwide #ad
In high school, I wasn’t supposed to cross the b In high school, I wasn’t supposed to cross the bridge without permission.⠀⠀I grew up about 20 minutes from San Francisco, on the OTHER side of the Golden Gate Bridge.  Yes, you know that opening scene in Full House where they’re driving across the bridge? I was on the other side of that.  And one of MOST parents’ rules where I grew up? No going into the city without permission.  Sorry mom and dad, it’s been long enough…..now I can disclose that we broke that rule constantly.⠀⠀San Francisco is my favorite city.  It’s intimate and moody and filled with history and some of the best food in the world.  It reminds me of childhood trips to the zoo and Golden Gate Park, it reminds me of my first apartment after college and my first serious relationship.  It reminds me of 22 year old carefree nights with friends and milkshakes at Mels in high school and coffee in North Beach and nights in the Marin Headlands (the closest we were supposed to get to the bridge).⠀⠀So when I had the opportunity to spend 20 hours in my city by the Bay? I took it.⠀⠀Photo Diary:⠀1) nothing like a hotel room to yourself ⠀2) basically drove through a monsoon in San Diego yesterday to make it to the airport⠀3) through the fog? You can see the Golden Gate Bridge⠀4) SFO ⠀5) drove right through North Beach where my mom lived until she was 2, and texted her this photo of a church where she remembers going to weddings as a child⠀6) dinner with Dove, talking about the importance of diversity and representation in gaming avatars ⠀7 and 8) anyone else got a roblox fan in their house? Dove is changing the game (pun intended) and we love to see it.⠀⠀Have you been to San Francisco?
