Comfortable, simple, flattering: This is all a girl asks for these days when it comes to my wardrobe. Even pre-pandemic, if it was complicated I didn’t want it, and while this still holds true for me today, don’t get it twisted, I’ll still pop out looking bomb.
But truly, I am a minimalist at its finest. And I can assure you that nearly every one of my fits incorporates a bodysuit. Whether you’re a minimalist, maximalist, or somewhere in between, bodysuits are a must. They’re form-fitting, stylish, perfect for layering, plus they stay put and tucked in unlike a lot of traditional tops (Yay, no bunching!).
Coming in the form of tanks, turtlenecks, scoop necks, dress tops and more, these leotard-like garments are starting points for every great outfit. Now, although my love for bodysuits will never go unwavered, one fight that I’ve always picked was with those pesky snaps at the crotch. Sometimes uncomfortable (and a hassle with a full bladder), snapping and unsnapping bodysuits with buttons can be a pain.
When innovation meets comfort and luxury, you get LUSCA: the revolutionary fashion brand with bodysuits featuring magnetic clasps for closure. Founder Toby Morgan shows us that flexibility is possible creating her brand with comfort and purpose in mind. “The LUSCA magnetic clasp was specifically designed to interact with female anatomy and is, therefore, easier to open and close for all women, even those with disabilities,” she tells Sheen. “It has a strong hold that rests on the mons pubis providing the wearer with the ability to easily access and see the clasp. Nothing like LUSCA’s magnetic clasp exists because most clasps haven’t been updated in more than a century. To me, magnets just seem to make more sense for ease of use, comfort and long-term wear.”
When I first heard about LUSCA and their revolutionary bodysuits, I literally gasped in amazement. A bodysuit with magnets for a simpler fastening process sounded awesome…and too good to be true. Once I got my hands on one, I realized that I had been missing out on so many much more comfortable and hassle-free outfits.
I tried one of LUSCA’s best selling bodysuits: the Ashlie, in the color White. The Ashlie bodysuit is handmade with an extremely soft and stretchy fabric that gently hugs the body and features a flattering scoop neckline. For full coverage, this quality, long-sleeved bodysuit has a high-cut brief silhouette, and it’s super comfy. Paired with jeans, leggings, or dress pants alike, this bodysuit is perfect for any outfit especially in these cooler months.
I love how sleek this bodysuit is, and what I appreciate the most is its magnetic closure placement. You won’t want to go back to your old bodysuits that take time, energy, and some serious finger strength to fasten buttons. The brand places the closure higher up on the body for a quicker, easier snapping and unsnapping process.
I’m 5’8,” a 34A, and typically fluctuate between sizes Extra Small and Small in tops. That said, I was a little nervous about the fit of the Ashlie bodysuit in an Extra Small. But, I’m oh-so pleased that the bodysuit fits nicely and the arm length is just right. It’s absolutely tall girl approved, and if you like a little more wiggle room, I’d recommend going up a size or following the sizing guide on the LUSCA site! The bottom of the bodysuit is also really comfortable and is guaranteed to be wedgie-proof no matter the size you choose.
Let me tell you, the LUSCA® magnetic clasps are the truth! I can wear the bodysuit all day without any unfastening. The magnets are unbelievably strong, but easy enough to detach so you don’t have to worry about a full bladder, nor making adjustments mid day.
