Allow us to re-acquaint you with what is the most useful, most versatile, most flattering, most comfortable and potentially the most glamorous item of clothing ever invented – the jumpsuit.
Not only does it possess all of those attributes, but it also remains totally on-trend for S/S 16.
Jumpsuits had a moment back in the 1980s (having had their biggest, in every sense, moment in WW2 when they were the favoured attire of Winston Churchill and RAF Aircrew)…
They first reappeared on the catwalks for 2013 season but they stalled a bit on the runway and it took till A/W 13 for them to really take off… But they were HUGE in S/S15 and we totally get why. They have all the clever covering qualities of a maxi, but in a funkier way.
As with a dress versus a skirt-and-top, they take away the what-top-goes-with-what-trousers dilemma but jumpsuits are also streamlined and cool, and the perfect garment for dedicated trouser wearers as you don’t have to show your legs but you also don’t have to defect to a dress… And they are so very flattering because of the single colour or print from neck to ankle…
Again this season there are jumpsuits of every kind – in prints for casual holiday wear and in plains for party and evening wear.
They are also simple to style: just add shoes and bag appropriate to the occasion: For daywear or beach or poolside-wear add chunky sandals, flatforms or trainers plus a big tote or beach basket and chunky bangle/cuff or a cluster of friendship bracelets. For partying/dinner or for dining under the stars on holiday: add ballerina flats or towering courts or delicate sandals – with or without towering heels – plus a clutch-bag or a bag on a little chain handle and a bold necklace or chandelier earrings.
And if your favourite jumpsuit happens to be sleeveless; well, no problem since jumpsuits look especially good under a jacket – blazer, biker or whatever else you have in your wardrobe! Extra result: the jumpsuit will give a new lease of life to an existing jacket, too.
