I have a phobia of bodysuits. At least those without snap closures. We have a messy history that leaves my emotional state similar to that of a Bachelor in Paradise contest with a fear of getting their heart broken again: apprehensive, yet unable to keep myself away. Allow me to elaborate:
Scenario 1:
I am huddled half naked over the toilet, bodysuit around my ankles. Suddenly, the bathroom door swings open and a mother-daughter duo bursts into the stall. She gasps; I gasp. She covers her daughter's eyes. True story.
Scenario 2:
It's 2 am on a Friday night. After waiting out the seemingly never-ending line to the ladies room, I race into the stall at lightning speed. With the dexterity of a concert pianist, I unfasten my belt and unzip in record time. I then perform a feat that can only be described as high-speed acrobatics to ensure my bodysuit is fully out of the way. I pull a muscle in my shoulder and can't turn my head all the way to the right for a week. Also a true story.
While snapless bodysuits may quite honestly be a recently rediscovered form of medieval torture, their snap-included counterparts are actually quite nice. Once you take away the need to become an amateur contortionist, their convenience and practicality are undeniable. This season, they're hard to miss, having taken over blouses & tees section of all my favorite retailers. So, just as Nick Viall let love in again (and again, and again), I'm letting bodysuits back into my life. But this time I'm taking our relationship slow and playing it safe by only buying leotards with snap closures.
So put your fingers to work and get scrolling for a roundup of the best snap-crotch bodysuits of the season. Trust me — you'll thank us late post-venti iced coffee!
