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.

A very popular square-neck suit
This trendy basic features a flattering square neckline, long and slender sleeve lines and a backside that reviewers say doesn't ride up while also offering a versatile snap closure. Rated 4.3 out 5 stars on Amazon, this suit comes in tons of colors including neutrals and brights and is available in sizes XS-XXL.

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

A well-rated sculpting bodysuit
Available in both a thong and biker short option, this bodysuit by Shaperx claims to offer seamless compression around the stomach and upper back while lifting and supporting the chest. It has adjustable straps and is made from a breathable and lightweight fabric that comes in nine colors and sizes XXS-5XL.

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

A crewneck T-shirt suit
If you hate when your classic tee rides up after it's been painstakingly tucked into your jeans or skirt, this essential crewneck has you covered. Made with a snap-closure crotch and a buttery soft material that the brand claims feels like "second skin," you can find this bodysuit in 14 colors and sizes XS-XL.

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

A plunging ribbed suit
I'm a proud owner of this gorgeous ribbed bodysuit that I landed on after I wasn't completely impressed with one that I bought from Skims. The neck and backline are incredibly sexy without feeling overly revealing and the snap-closure crotch is a nice touch. I think where this suit really shines however is in the fabric which is heavy, slightly compressive and very high quality. I wear it with a pair of high-waisted jeans and a jacket or oversized dress shirt over the top and get tons of compliments each time. You can get this is in two flexible sizes and in colors cream, black and chocolate.

Promising Free People review: "This bodysuit is sexy and easy to dress up or dress down depending on the occasion. I wear an XS." ShayWintz

Three compressive ribbed bodysuits by a TikTok-viral brand
Not too long ago I learned of the Amazon-exclusive OQQ brand on TikTok where app users were big fans of the company's loungewear offers, especially their bodysuits. After being fully convinced by these overwhelmingly positive testimonies, I bought a full-body suit for myself and immediately understood the hype. This three-pack includes a tank-style version of my precious suit, made with the same amazing mid-weight and fully opaque material that's ribbed and perfectly compressive around the midriff. I truly feel supported and my figure is flattered. You can find this three-pack in a variety of colors and sizes S-XXL.

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
