How to Wear the Jumpsuit: A Guide for beginniners

written by ROMA SINGH

You will never catch me in a jumpsuit. Never ever. Mostly because I like to know that I can get out of my clothes quickly if I really need to pee. But those are my priorities. Jumpsuits can be totally cute! We’ve got some handy rules for wearing a jumpsuit with aplomb.

The RULES: Jumpsuits

The Jumpsuit can be a daunting garment to pull into your wardrobe – and yet a surprisingly versatile one if your wanting a non-fussy, sophisticatedly flattering piece that can be just as appropriately worn for play as it is for work!

It all comes down to finding the right fit for you…

Secure a flattering jumpsuit and all there is left to be done is styling – which can be applied as minimally or as dramatically as the occasion requires.

You can choose an elegant and minimalistic approach, a extravagantly bombshell look or an inspiring and casually cool everyday approach – I have a few tips for all these options below…

HOW TO WEAR AND  STYLE IT IN WORK PLACE:

WORK:

• When it comes to work, minimal fuss in the morning and a strong coffee is usually all we want.
  And this is where the jumpsuit is an awesome choice for the office. With it’s slick silhouette and it’s clean lines, you’ll never have to worry again about an un-tucked shirt!
  Duo-toned jumpsuits are a fantastic choice with (for example) white on top and black on the bottom, giving a shirt and trouser vibe.
• Look for a jumpsuit that is going to either drape once on, or sit with tailored perfection. Anything that resembles a second-skin should be sharply avoided!
• Style your work look with accessories that are going to feminize your look.
  Go for strong statement pieces if your jumpsuit is plain, or tone down the accessorizing to simple metals if you opt for a patterned or highly printed jumpsuit.
• Layering a blazer over top, either sitting it on your shoulders, or wearing it as it’s designed for, has always an effect that works wonderfully with a jumpsuit.

PLAY:

• Bright is better when your off-work! During the day, wear a jumpsuit in a colour that gives you all the confidence you need not to feel like a toddler in this decidedly youthful garment!
• Finish your look by accessorizing with items that portray a fun and vibrant feel – go for woven raffia wedges or a bright statement clutch.
  Look for easy items that carry no fuss and are as casually cool as your onezie!

EVENING:

• Evening jumpsuits demand more sophistication that those worn during the day or to work.
• Black is always a good choice – and slimming!
• Get as much height as you can during the night with statement heels.
• Don’t cover your sleek, slim-lined look with a clutch that is too big – think smaller in terms of add-on proportions.
• Add that touch of well needed pizazz via embellished shoes, clutch or wonderfully elegant jeweled accessories.
