JUMPSUITS - ONE AND DONE STYLE
Bringing you 8 Jumpsuit styles for 2020! A jumpsuit is such a versatile staple to have in your wardrobe. They really can take you anywhere. Many people still avoid them worrying about fit and convenience but you really can find the perfect jumpsuit for everyone. Take inspiration for these looks for styling and you won’t have to worry about looking like a housepainter for a second.
Jumpsuits are quick an easy start to your day, with one statement pice and a few accessories you’ll be on your way.
BOILER SUIT
The boiler suit style has long pants and sleeves with either buttons or a zip up the front. They’re called boiler suits because the men shovelling coal into boilers used to wear them back in the day. The ones you’ll find these days they are far more trendii. You can even get them in a huge range of fabrics and style them for summer and winter. They come in everything from linen to denim! Throw a pair of heels on to really elevate the look.
FLIGHT SUIT
These are named after the flight suits they mimic. Think Maverick from Top Gun. They have more cargo style pockets than the Boiler suit and mainly come in neutral or military colours like Army green and Navy blue. These can be a more oversized fit so don’t forget adding a belt can highlight your feminine shape and avoid you feeling lost in the fabric. You can style these wide legged looks with strapy heels done up over the pants. A popular trend for 2020.
SHORTS
There’s ways to take advantage of the ease of an all in one outfit without feeling completely covered. This shorts version is a great trans-seasonal piece and is cute styled with sneakers or boots. Choosing a softer colour like this pastel pink also helps make this utilitarian style look more feminine and playful.
SHORT SLEEVE
For summer short sleves can be a cute option and they usually come in lighter fabrics like this sky blue linen. For a summer style go with strapy sandals or a chunky heel to keep it casual. Minimal jewellery and a summer hat keep it chic and relaxed.
BUSINESS
Jumpsuits aren’t just for the weekend. Take this trend all the way to the office with a sleek suit inspired jumpsuit. I’ve been told by a number of friends they hate jumpsuits at work because of the idea they have to strip down in the office toilets, but unless your bathroom is glass or doesn’t lock properly, I say relax max! Enjoy the convenience of being able to throw this on if you’re running late and still arrive looking work appropriate, chic and like you’ve got life together. (I mean who does, but it’s nice to look it)
DRESSY
Need a quick and easy night out look or something that will take you from day drinks to a night on the town? A more fitted jumpsuit with a playful sleeve or neckline is the perfect choice. You can even explore patterns and dressier fabrics. A few well chosen accessories and you’re set to go.
GLAM
The perfect night out look! Personally I love a jumpsuit or play suit for a night of dancing! No restricted movement and if you need to sit on the floor to rest or eat that late night snack for sustenance at 4am, its super easy and you’ll look fabulous while doing it! Sequins or metallic fabric paired with a glam boot or heel and the night is yours!
BRIDAL
As with all good fashion shows, we’ve saved the bridal for last. Say YES to the bridal jumpsuit! Ok it may not be every brides style, but whether its for a reception or going away change or you just don’t like wearing dresses, the bridal jumpsuit is here in a big way for 2020. It’s definitely worth your consideration if you’re wanting to wear white but still make a statement. Just like wedding dresses, wedding jumpsuits come in so many style and fabrics. Some even include a half skirt or a train to keep everyone happy!
PERSONAL STYLE
As a little P.S. jumpsuits can be a great canvas to express your personality or things important to you. Play with bright and bold fabrics or patches and imagery that expresses you and what you stand for. Liz from Liz Made It is a great example in her native Australian floral jumpsuit. She also makes some great ones celebrating women, feminism and the female body for when you really want to make a fashion statement.
