Hello! I’m so excited to be sharing my tips on how to wear a bodycon dress with you today. But before I do, I’d love to catch up a bit first.
It’s been quite the busy week over here as the kids are off school for Fall break, contractors have been in our house as we started on our kitchen remodel, and my mother-in-law decided last minute to come visit us for a few days! Lots of excitement around here and it definitely feels like Fall has kicked into gear as the weather is finally cooling off, even if it’s only for a couple of days.
I’ve been all about finding outfit pieces that do double duty — transitioning from day to night as well as from work to weekend. This bodycon dress is a recent addition that I can’t get enough of (obviously as you can see I bought it in multiple colors!) and it’s definitely a wardrobe must-have!
How to Wear a Bodycon Dress
Weekend Date Night / Going Out Look:
Dress: Leith Bodycon Dress in pink lemonade (XS) – on sale! (Amazon dupe, almost identical with short sleeves)
Shoes: Sam Edelman ‘Yaro’ (5.5/TTS)
Bag: similar Amazon Gucci dupe
Sunglasses: Gucci GG0106s (Amazon dupe)
Dress: Leith Bodycon Dress in pink lemonade (XS) – on sale! (Amazon dupe, almost identical with short sleeves)

This dress is one of the most popular pieces in the influencer world and for good reason — it’s seriously SO FLATTERING. I’m not usually one for bodycon dresses anymore, but after seeing a co-worker wear this dress to work a few weeks ago, I knew I had to get it for myself! Mainly because this dress has the perfect subtle side ruching. Which means that it’s more forgiving around the tummy/hips area while the criss-cross style in front helps taper thighs and gives the illusion of longer legs. Honestly, it’s hard not to love this dress!
I can’t get enough of this pink lemonade color and it’s the perfect flirty number for a date night or just going out with friends! I paired it with heels to dress it up but you can definitely swap it for sneakers for something more on-trend — I just got in this pair after and highly recommend (mine were back-ordered for a couple of weeks but so worth the wait!).
Work / Office Look:
Dress: Leith Bodycon Dress in night navy (S / sized up) – (more colors, Amazon dupe, long sleeve option)
Jacket: old (similar, similar)
Shoes: Vince Camuto ‘Gigietta’ (6 / size up) – (similar)
Necklace: Gorjana ‘Cayne’ Crescent Pendant (similar), Gorjana Mini Taner Bar (similar)
Earrings: Nickel + Suede Gold Leaf Leather (M)
I wore this look to work the other day and love the heathered navy-grey color for a more work-appropriate option. I did size up as well so that it wasn’t quite as body-skimming and love the pop of snake print in the booties paired together! I added a crop utility jacket but would also recommend a cardigan (this colorblock one is a Madewell dupe!).
Now that the weather is cooling down, I’m also looking to pick up this dress in a long-sleeve option and obsessed with the green botanical heather color!

This is such a cute cardigan-meets-blazer piece! Love that it comes in so many colors. The hard part is deciding which one to get! xo Nipa@fashionipa
This is a GREAT outfit! Especially love the blazer and the shoes.
Great way to incorporate the animal print trend!
I LOVE that blazer! It looks so fresh with a pop of color underneath.
You have the best style! I love the contrasting pop of color under a printed blazer, it’s such a fun look for fall!
Oh, heck yes, girlfriend! This is one sassy outfit and I am here for it! I love that you found a leopard blazer. What an awesome statement item to own for autumn. I’m a sucker for a good blazer, and this print is just perfect.
I have been so obsessed with leopard lately. I’ve been buying so many things but I don’t have a blazer! Love how this looks.
What a fun way to style this leopard blazer!
Oooh! There are leopard patterns I don’t like and leopard patterns I do like…this one I like very much! I’m also all about the sweater blazer trend this year. I think it makes blazers even more versatile than they were before! Love your entire look here.
I forsee that blazer getting a TON of use this fall and winter! So cute!
This look is so fun!! Really loving it for fall!
I love this blazer on you! Such a great color and the fit is to die for
YES!! Rock it out, girl! So stunning and the red tank is perfect for under the blazer. I’ve been loving leopard print this fall!

How cute is this blazer?! I love leopard print, and this blazer looks like the perfect weight for the current season (it’s still pretty warm here).
I’m all about the leopard this season! Like I always love it, but I’m SUPER into it this fall! Love this blazer.
So cute and perfect for fall!
Always so perfectly styled! Love me some leopard print too!
now that’s a statement I can get behind! Rawrrr, Fall is here!
Loving the leopard but those jeans are amazing! I’ll have to check them out.
Love this look so much! That blazer would be amazing for so many different outfits and layering in the fall!
I’m so glad that Fall is here and the heat is finally going away. That’s definitely a beautiful cardigan. Leopard print is always a good idea. Loved your outfit.
I love this blazer! The length is perfect. What a great piece for fall.
Such a cute blazer! Love all things leopard!
That is such a cute blazer!!

Bodycon dresses are my favorite! Love how you styled both looks differently but still so cute xoxo sarah
I am loving how you styled these dresses!
This dress looks so versatile!
Every girl needs this bodycon dress in at least one color! I have it in two so far (and want a third). I love both styling ideas, those leopard print sandals are calling to me!!
love the way you styled both of these looks! those leopard heels are SO fun.

I love the way you styled these! So cute and chic! It makes a bodycon dress way more versatile than I ever thought!
I LOVE BODYCON DRESSES…HOW YOU CAN DRESS THEM UP OR DOWN. Add a sweater or jacket and change up the shoes. Love these
This dress is one of my all-time favorites! It’s so easy to dress up or down and the length is perfect. Love how you styled it with animal print shoes!

You look so cute. I love the different looks. ??? Do you have any ideas for those of us on the fluffier side?
You have the best style, Kileen! I love this look, it’s so great for summer-fall! Plus, it looks cozy while still being cute!
I love these bosycon dresses, especially the pink one!
Bodycon dresses are awesome, and these both look GREAT on you, but I’m really in love with the pink one! 😍
I love that you were able to wear this same type of dress in different ways and to different occasions! I am all for finding versatile pieces that maximize the wardrobe and this dress fits the bill!
That dress is one of my favorites! I love the way you styled it here! I have to say the pink with the leopard might be my favorite though!
I have seen SO many girls in this dress, and it makes me want to get it for myself. The only thing I get concerned about is how short it would be on my long torso/long leg build. But it looks fantastic on you!
I keep seeing this dress and for good reason, it’s cute and versatile! I think I’d go with grey and then be able to dress it up or dress it down depending on the occasion!
The first way you styled it is my favorite!
I like the fact that one has rouching! That helps me be way less conscious for sure.
I have that same dress and you’re right. You can style it so many different ways!
Bodycon dresses can be so versatile. I love how you showed a work look. You look gorgeous!
You nailed this! Love how you styled this cute dress.
Such a great basic piece! I love it in the pink but I am sure I would get more use out of the grey one.

I’ve purchased this dress in a few colors and I’m always so amazed at how easy it is to style!
I have that Leith dress in black, it’s so flattering! Looks great on you
Oh my gosh! I need that dress in pink.
I LOVE these Leith dresses – I have a black long-sleeved version and they’re so versatile, just like you show!
