I’ve always felt very passionate on the importance of confidence and positive body image for girls and women of all ages. With that said, I’m head over heels for Aeries newest campaign; Aerie Real. The Aerie Real campaign features un-retouched models in their ads, accompanied with messages such as “The real you is sexy”. Not only is Aerie boycotting photoshopping, they are encouraging the boosting of their customers confidence, self-esteem, and body image. During my last shopping trip at Aerie when I was stocking up on their infamous blanket scarves, I grabbed an all black lycra bodysuit as I was on my way out. Bodysuits are back and stronger than ever, but the real question is…How do you even wear them?? and where? and who should?

1. Athletic Aesthetic

Drawn from the inspiration of the fabric itself – an all lycra jumpsuit will look great and stand out at the gym, the yoga studio, or at your next barre class. Paired with monochrome white leather high tops and a mesh cropped tank. You could hit the gym or look like you just left the Yeezy show (without the Yeezys).

2. Pretty in Pink

Paired with a vintage pink suede trench and classic nude pointed toe pumps, a classic look that will turn heads anywhere you go.

 

3. Sweater Weather

I threw on my oversized chunky Micheal Kors cardigan  with my favorite cognac Free People chunky heeled booties . Letting the bodysuit be the main point of focus, a cozy winter sweater always balances the look. You can always throw a open knit sweater over your bodysuit too!

4. All Black Everything

It’s no secret that turtlenecks are back and better than ever this season. I threw my favorite JOSEPH wool turtleneck over the bodysuit and contrasted the classic all black look with  my favorite leather white monochrome high tops from Converse.

 

5. Don’t -Just Wear It & Be Aerie Real

Embrace your figure in your Aerie Real Bodysuit and run around in it! Until then, I would love to see how you are all dealing with the latest bodysuit craze!!! Don’t forget, the #REAL you is sexy!
