Last week I was trying to tuck my white shirt back into my navy high waisted trousers for the umpteenth time, lamenting the terrible creases and lines going across my behind when I snapped a fingernail. I vow that I am not having another thing to drink today because I will not be going back to the toilet to try this feat again. No matter how hard I try I can never get my blouses and tops tucked in sleekly and always seem to end up with an inevitable furrowed conclusion.
Enter the cure-all to all wrinkled silhouettes: The Body. Inspired by lingerie and swimwear, the body is certainly not a new invention. Even though it has been around for a long time it really only became de rigueur in the age of Dallas and Dynasty. Tight, cut high around the thigh and with a pop open gusset it was a perfect accompaniment to an aerobics sculpted figure. Inspired by lingerie the body was often trimmed with lace and was designed to neatly peak out from underneath the high shouldered jackets of the eighties woman.
The modern body evokes some of the eighties connotations but take away the enormous shoulder enhancements and high cuts legs and you are left with a highly practical and elegant garment.
The body is perfect when worn with those high waisted trousers and skirts and leave you with a beautiful smooth effect.

My favourites are this body from http://www.asos.com/. It has a lovely retro feel with its off the shoulder shape and at only £14.95 a bargain to boot. Perfect with high waisted flared trousers and a pair of platforms. I recommend that you wear a strapless T-shirt bra with this body and accessorize with a scarf cheekily tied around your neck to complete the look!
I also love this elegant little £22.00 number from http://www.missselfridge.com/. The lovely sheer mesh detail adds a gothic glamorous touch and this item is best worn with a tight pencil skirt. Try putting your hair up to make the most of the low back!
If you are feeling slightly more flush try this futuristic Fendi body at http://www.netaporter.com/. At £405 this ivory and patent leather trim bodysuit is a little expensive but would look great with trousers or a skirt teamed with skyscraper heals. This is such a statement piece so keep accessories to the minimum. This bodysuit is also great if you are planning a day to night look. Wear with your suit trousers and jacket during the day and at night loose the jacket for a whole new look!
