If you’re looking for a more casual outfit, opt for a jumpsuit in lightweight cotton with a cute print. The boho chic vibe is perfect for during the day! For an evening look, stick to a solid color — the black jumpsuit is a great staple, If you’re feeling particularly bold, red works greats for a formal do. From sheer detailing to lace and even plunging necklines, the silhouette easily takes on a dressy air — swoon a crowd in a fun, unexpected alternative to a cocktail dress!
When you have finally zeroed in on the right one – the fit is critical. According the Guardian, “the jumpsuit is something to slip on and forget about; the 2014 equivalent of the LBD”.
The key point to remember when trying to find the right jumpsuit for you is the shape of the suit. For example, if you prefer skinny jeans, look for a jumpsuit with a tapered leg. If you can’t wait to jump into bell bottoms, a wide-leg jumpsuit is probably the way to go. Keep your body type in mind and find the right shape for your figure and you’re bound to look fabulous!
Here are some of our tips to rock this trend:
Fit is everything! You don't have to pour yourself into the one-piece like J-Lo, but a sleek look helps.
Check main fit points: waist, rear end, bust. Bagging in one area, while sagging in the other will kill the look.
A jumpsuit is a style statement by itself. No need to pile on the jewels or layer on the makeup with this look.
Panty lines or bulges are magnified in a one-piece. Go for a thong, for ultimate sleekness. If you need some tummy control, try a seamless corset.
Jumpsuits give you the illusion of a lean figure. Add even more visual height with a heel (stilettos or wedges look the best).
