Welcome back to all-in-one simplicity
Depending on your vintage, you may or may not know what a body is. Or rather what a body was, back in the late 80s, when Donna Karan came up with a new concept in easy-to-wear, 24-hour, all-black chic, the foundation piece of which was a leotard-like garment with poppers at the crotch. This – the body – was a sleek, ridge-free base on to which you could add, say, a black mini and a blazer with shoulder pads.
The body is back. Forget worrying about whether to half-tuck, French-tuck or untuck your shirt, because a smooth body or leotard is the new alpha top. It could be a purpose-built body, or it could be a leotard, if your athleisure wardrobe stretches to one of those.
