Ok so we all remember the silky bright blue ones with huge shoulder pads that our Mum's wore in the 80s (or maybe that's just mine!), but they've come a long long way since then.
Now you may be thinking "there's no way I can pull off a jumpsuit". Well, you are wrong. Get the right cut and the right fabric and they're actually more flattering that any top/trouser or top/skirt combo. The reason being they are made of one piece of fabric and whether patterned or plain, they therefore elongate the body, rather than breaking it up in the middle. Simple.
Whether going for a trouser jumpsuit or a short one, always go for a fluid fabric such as a fine jersey or silk as it will just hang that much better. Denim and even some cottons are a bit too bulky around the middle so steer clear (unless you are stick thin like Miss Moss of course!).
Next, you will need a belt as most jumpsuits are elasticated around the middle. I love a gold elasticated belt for this as it will go with every single colour or pattern. Whether thin or chunky, once coupled with a pair of gold gladiator flats (for daytime) or heels (for evening), it just works perfectly.
Below are a few of our favourite jumpsuits and we've matched them with an array of accessories so you can mix and match to your heart's content!
