Style Guide: How to Wear a Jumpsuit

By Amra B. 


The jumpsuit became popular in the 1960s and again in the 1980s; since then, the jumpsuit has been reintroduced time and time again by designers like Derek Lam, Proenza Schouler, Anna Sui, and Alexander McQueen. All of the aforementioned designers have been known to showcase jumpsuits many times on catwalks. I love the jumpsuit because of its ability to elongate the figure and give a polished appearance instantaneously. Plus, jumpsuits are so incredibly easy to wear: all you need is a pair of heels and a jacket/blazer. Voila, and you are ready to head out the door while looking absolutely perfect! 

Styling tips on how to wear a jumpsuit: 

Stick to a solid color when choosing a jumpsuit: solid colors provide a slimming effect and are easy to combine with other pieces. 
Add a bright suit jacket/sweater/coat: with spring on its way, adding a bright suit jacket will give you a pop of color and make you instantly season ready. 
Choose an appropriate length: make sure to get yours tailored to achieve a perfect fit for your body size and type. 

Have a wonderful day!
