Bold, lingerie-led and a bit more fashion-forward than Ann Summers’ classic black basques, the Zadie underwired body sits in the same space as high-street “statement” bodysuits from the likes of Boux Avenue and Victoria’s Secret. The multi-coloured styling is the main draw: it’s the sort of piece that can work as lingerie or, with a blazer and high-waisted trousers, as a going-out layer.

Who is this for?

If you want lift and shape rather than a soft, loungey fit, the underwired construction matters. It’s better suited to those who like a more structured feel through the bust, while the body cut gives a smoother line under clothes than a separate bra-and-brief set.

• Sizes 8–14 — useful if you’re between standard dress sizes and want a closer fit through the torso.
• Underwired support — adds definition and can help the bodysuit sit flatter at the front.
