Today Encircled is releasing their answer to the uncomfortable body suit. It's called The Unbodysuit!
But first, let's talk a bit about body suits....

What is the purpose of a body suit?
At it's core, a body suit provides a smooth, fitted, tucked in top look without weird bunching or the chance of it coming untucked.

Why are bodysuits so popular?
If you love wearing high waisted bottoms - high waisted pants, high waisted shorts or skirts, or body skimming pencil skirts, a body suit gives a very flattering fit and finishes the look perfectly.

The problem(s) with bodysuits

While bodysuits have the potential to provide a polished final look, there are some problems.

Bodies are different, torso lengths are different. If the fit isn't right for your body, it's going to ride up and cause discomfort. It's impossible for a brand to make a body suit that will fit every body, unless *maybe* the only product they make is a bodysuit.
The bathroom thing.... You either have to go back to being a 4 year old in a one piece swimsuit and pull the whole thing down to pee. Or pull the fabric off to the side and hope for the best. Alternatively many brands have snaps taking you back to the baby days. No just kidding. Snaps can be good for some people, but a lot of people don't like them and you still have to multitask with that fabric to make sure it's not "in the way"...which isn't ideal.

Okay, so is it just a t-shirt?

Well, no. It's definitely not a t-shirt. But yes, it is a top. Most tops, especially from encircled, have a different fit - some are very drapey, some are fitted at top and flowy, some are oversized, some are boxy. The Unbodysuit looks to me like a fitted top made from the most amazing, soft, sustainable material you'd want touching your skin and I'm here for it!

Tucked into high waisted skirts
Tucked into high waisted jeans

Base layer for winter sweaters
Transitional piece - layering under summer dresses for more versatility
Base layer for modesty when necklines are too low for my preference
Under Blazers

This isn't a full Encircled The Unbodysuit Review because I haven't seen the piece in person or tried it first hand. If I do, I will definitely share my thoughts on it. But here are some things I love about it from what I know.

What I Love

Sleeveless & 3/4 Length Sleeve Option - Great for different seasons and purposes. 3/4 length is amazing for under sweaters. You don't need two long sleeves bunching at your wrist, even if you do want a layer underneath for added warmth or as a barrier against wool or just to add longevity to your sweater.
I love that it is designed for this. I've never owned a body suit but in the summer time I love skirts and dresses and thus live in some sort of base layer shirt and slip shorts to create a similar outcome of a bodysuit without the annoyances of a body suit. The thing is, the shirts aren't meant for this/the cut isn't designed for this. It works, but not completely the same smooth look. (PS Encircled - if you ever see this.... slip shorts on the horizon? Bought my last pair in 2015 and would be nice to get away from the nylon/span blend and big brand) That's were having a design team trying to get you the benefits of a style while removing or minimizing the downsides of it can make a big difference!
Sustainable materials, ethically made, B Corp, and moreeee cool stuff like that :)

What I'd Like To See

Looks like the initial run of The Unbodysuit is black, navy, mauve, and maybe sapphire blue? I'd like to see a light neutral in there - whether white or off white/ivory etc. Even in the winter this is a great piece to have. I'm thinking of a light knit sweater that I want to wear something underneath and I want it a similar light color, just as a for instance!

Looking forward to seeing more pics and learning more about this piece when it fully launches today. Check it out:
