What is a Bodystocking?

A bodystocking is a one-piece garment that covers the torso and often the arms and legs, typically made from sheer or stretchy materials like nylon, fishnet, or latex. Unlike a bodysuit, which usually has a snap closure at the crotch, bodystockings are often designed to be worn as lingerie or as a layering piece. They come in a variety of styles, from full-coverage to more revealing designs, making them a popular choice for those who want to make a statement.

Bodystockings are not just for the bedroom; they can be styled as part of an edgy outfit for a night out or a festival. With the right pieces, you can create a look that is both bold and sophisticated. Understanding the different types is the first step to finding the perfect bodystocking for your needs.

• Bodystockings are often worn as lingerie but can be styled as outerwear.
• They come in various materials, including fishnet, latex, and sheer fabrics.

Types of Bodystockings

There are several types of bodystockings to choose from, each offering a unique look and feel. Fishnet bodystockings are a classic choice, providing a sexy, open-weave look that is perfect for layering. They are available in different mesh sizes, from fine to wide, allowing you to control the level of coverage. For a more daring look, consider a latex or PVC bodystocking, which hugs the body and creates a sleek, shiny finish. These are often more form-fitting and require a bit more effort to put on, but the result is striking.

Another popular type is the sheer bodystocking, which is made from lightweight, semi-transparent fabric like nylon. These are comfortable for all-day wear and can be dressed up or down. Some bodystockings feature additional details like lace panels, cutouts, or high necks, adding extra flair. When choosing a bodystocking, consider the occasion and your comfort level, as well as the material's care requirements.

• Fishnet bodystockings: available in various mesh sizes, perfect for layering.
• Latex/PVC bodystockings: sleek and shiny, require careful handling.
• Sheer bodystockings: lightweight and comfortable for extended wear.

How to Wear a Bodystocking

Putting on a bodystocking can be a bit tricky, especially if it's made from latex or PVC. The key is to take your time and use a lubricant or dressing aid for latex garments. Start by rolling the bodystocking up from the bottom, then step into it and gradually pull it up, smoothing out any wrinkles as you go. For fishnet or sheer styles, you can simply pull it on like a one-piece swimsuit. Make sure to adjust the straps and ensure everything is aligned for a comfortable fit.

When wearing a bodystocking as outerwear, consider layering it under a jacket, skirt, or trousers. For a bold look, pair it with a leather jacket and boots. The Wide Band Fishnet Stockings can be worn with a bodystocking for added texture, or you can opt for a complete latex look with pieces like the Slice Latex/Rubber Briefs. Remember to choose undergarments that won't show through, or go commando if the design allows.

• Use a dressing aid for latex bodystockings to make them easier to put on.
• Layer a bodystocking under a sheer dress or jacket for a subtle peek of skin.
• Pair with high-waisted shorts or a skirt for a casual yet edgy outfit.

Styling Tips for Different Occasions

Bodystockings are incredibly versatile and can be styled for various events. For a night out, pair a black fishnet bodystocking with a leather mini skirt and ankle boots. Add a choker like the Wide PVC Choker With O Ring in Red for a pop of color. If you're heading to a festival, a sheer bodystocking under a cropped top and high-waisted shorts creates a fun, playful look. For a more intimate occasion, a latex bodystocking worn on its own is sure to impress.

When it comes to alternative fashion, don't be afraid to mix textures. Combine a PVC bodystocking with a lace skirt or a leather jacket for contrast. The key is to balance the boldness of the bodystocking with other pieces that complement it. Remember to accessorize with statement jewelry or belts to complete the outfit.

• Night out: fishnet bodystocking + leather skirt + ankle boots.
• Festival: sheer bodystocking + cropped top + shorts.
• Intimate: latex bodystocking worn alone or with a robe.

Caring for Your Bodystocking

Proper care is essential to keep your bodystocking looking its best. Fishnet and sheer bodystockings can usually be hand-washed in cold water with a mild detergent. Avoid wringing or twisting the fabric, and lay it flat to dry. Latex and PVC bodystockings require special attention: they should be washed in lukewarm water with a specialized cleaner, then dried with a soft cloth. Store them away from direct sunlight and heat to prevent damage.

For latex garments, applying a silicone-based polish can help maintain their shine and prevent sticking. Always check the care label for specific instructions, as different materials may have unique requirements. With the right care, your bodystocking will remain a staple in your wardrobe for years to come.

• Hand-wash fishnet and sheer bodystockings in cold water.
• Use a specialized cleaner for latex and PVC bodystockings.
• Store latex bodystockings in a cool, dark place to prevent deterioration.

Bodystockings are a fantastic addition to any alternative wardrobe, offering endless styling possibilities. Whether you prefer fishnet, sheer, or latex, there's a bodystocking out there for you. By understanding the types, mastering how to wear them, and following proper care routines, you can enjoy your bodystocking for years.
