Effie Kats Bodysuits, Skirts and Sets: The Pairings the Brand Built, and the 12 to Buy

Effie Kats designs its separates to be worn together, and it says which piece goes with which on every product page: the Tia Bodysuit with the Kayson Skirt, the Esper with the Kayson, the Charleze Bralet with the Charleze Skirt and Cape, the Luna with the Barton, the Paloma and Anastasia with the Pheby, the Perez Top with the Perez Skirt. The system is the cheapest way into the label, because a $220 bodysuit and a $330 skirt make a floor-length evening look for the price of one gown and each half gets worn on its own. Luxury Handbags stocks 32 bodysuits and tops and 27 skirts in September 2026. This guide sets out the pairings the brand built, the twelve pieces to buy, how to wear them apart, and the sizing.

How the system works

Every Effie Kats bodysuit is a foundation: fitted, lined where it needs to be, with a neckline that does the work of a top. Every skirt is cut in the same stretch crepe as the gowns, high-waisted, fitted through the hip and then floor length, midi and pencil. Put the two together and the join at the waist reads as one line, because the bodysuit does not ride up and the skirt does not gape, and the effect from across a room is a gown. Split them and the bodysuit goes under a blazer with jeans and the skirt goes with a silk shirt. The brand’s product copy says exactly this, bodysuit with denim by day and with the skirt at night, and it is the reason the bodysuits are the most reordered pieces in the range.

The twelve bodysuits, tops and skirts to buy

1. Tia Bodysuit in Black, $220

The house bodysuit: stretch jersey, figure-hugging, the piece the brand pairs with the Kayson Skirt. In black it is the first separate to own, and it goes to dinner under a blazer as easily as it goes to a ball under a skirt.

2. Kayson Maxi Skirt in Black, $330

The Tia’s partner: stretch crepe, fitted through the hip, with ruching down the skirt that can be worn to the front, the side and the back. Floor length. The two together are the cheapest evening look in the range.

3. Esper Bodysuit in Black, $220

A clean-lined bodysuit the brand designed with the Kayson, in black, Vanilla, Rio and the blue-grey Aspen. Wear it with the matching Kayson Skirt for a tonal column.

4. Kayson Skirt in Vanilla, $330

The Kayson in the season’s Vanilla, Rio and Aspen, to be worn with the Esper in the same colour. A tonal bodysuit and skirt reads as one piece.

5. Charleze Bralet in Black, $230

A sculpted bralet with clean lines and real support, designed for the Charleze Skirt and Charleze Cape. The bare-midriff evening look, and the piece for a woman who wants a two-piece rather than a bodysuit.

6. Charleze Skirt in Black, $290

A high-waisted pencil skirt that shapes and lengthens, cut to meet the bralet at the waist. Also the skirt the brand pairs with the feathered Kori Cape.

7. Perez Top in Wine, $420

The satin set. An off-the-shoulder top with ruching across the stomach, worn with the Perez Skirt in the same wine satin; one of the most hired sets in Australia. Buy both.

8. Paloma Bodysuit in Squid, $250

A high gathered neckline, asymmetric ruching across the bodice, long sleeves and a dramatic open back, in the slate grey the brand calls Squid. The dressiest bodysuit in the range; pair it with the Pheby Skirt.

9. Pheby Skirt in Black, $330

The skirt the brand pairs with the Paloma, Anastasia, Auburn and Zoya bodysuits, in black, Vanilla, Squid and Chocolate Plum. Buy it in the colour that matches the bodysuit you own.

10. Naya Top in Coffee, $390

A sleek neckline with an exaggerated hem in the house crepe, worn with the Naya Skirt, a high-waisted floor-length column. The two-piece in coffee is the daytime formal set.

11. Luna Bodysuit in Black Velvet, $230

A high neckline that runs into a low back, in black velvet, worn with the Barton Skirt in the same. The winter set.

12. Coco Top in Black, $290

A sculpted crop top with clean lines, the brand’s foundation for tailored separates. The one top on this list that is meant for trousers rather than a skirt.

Wearing them apart

The bodysuits are the pieces that leave the evening wardrobe. The Tia under the Bowie Blazer with jeans is the brand’s own day look; the Iyla, with its asymmetric neckline that falls off one shoulder, goes with tailoring; the Anastasia, high-necked with flared sleeves, and the Auburn, a crew neck with long sleeves and a keyhole back, are the winter ones. The skirts stay closer to the evening: the Kayson with a silk shirt tucked in, the Charleze with a fine knit, the Mereen Midi Skirt with the Bowie Blazer, which is the pairing the brand names on both product pages. The capes and tailoring guide covers the outer layers.

Sizing the separates

Bodysuits are stretch jersey and fit like a second skin; take your usual Australian size and, between two, the smaller. Bralets and bodices are sized to the bust: the Charleze Bralet and the corseted Beatriz Bodice hold their shape, so a bust between sizes takes the larger. Skirts are fitted at the waist, so measure the waist and take the size whose waist matches, 58 cm for XS through to 78 cm for XL; the crepe covers a hip a size larger. The size guide has the chart.

Price and value

The separates are where the label is cheapest per wear. A bodysuit at $220 to $230 is worn a dozen times a year; a skirt at $330 is worn to every formal event; the set together costs less than a gown and is more useful. The satin Perez set at $840 is the exception, priced like a gown because it is one in two pieces. The price guide has every category, and hire versus buy explains why separates are the pieces to own rather than rent.
