We know jumpsuits can be a bit intimidating to wear so we are sharing creative ways to pull off a jumpsuit. Some of our friends have told us they have held off on purchasing a jumpsuit because they are worried about using the powder room. The biggest challenge is being able to access the back zipper. Jumpsuits with a side or front zipper…also a pull on may be the best choice for you if this is your concern.

How To Wear A Jumpsuit

There are some basic tips to wearing and styling a jumpsuit we would like to share with you!

Where Can You Wear Your Jumpsuit

Where in your wardrobe are you looking to add a new look? Considering a jumpsuit is a great place to start. You can wear a jumpsuit during the day, lunch with friends, an office outfit and even weddings- so pretty much everywhere. This proves the versatility of a jumpsuit.

Choosing The Right Fabric

What do we mean by this? If you are looking for a casual jumpsuit you may consider a denim, cotton or linen jumpsuit. They can be light and made of a flowy fabric so perfect for those hot days in the summer. Super comfortable for running errands and still looking polished. If you require a jumpsuit to wear to the office you could look for lightweight wool, polyester blend or some that have a blend of spandex. A more conservative neckline and a beautiful belt would make the jumpsuit so stylish! Layering a jumpsuit with a blazer would be appropriate for an office environment. Wearing a jumpsuit to a wedding is another fabulous option. You can really get creative here! Fabrication would be silk, a scuba crepe or chiffon. If you are wearing a jumpsuit to a wedding your accessories and shoes play heavily into the entire look!

Choose The Proper Undergarments

It is imperative that you wear the proper bras and shape wear. Consider wearing the bra and shapewear you would normally wear with a dress. A clean lined silhouette would be your goal. Click here for our post on bras, shape wear and more.

Shoes and Accessories

We feel that your shoe and accessory selection will really be the final touch that will pull the whole outfit together. Your casual jumpsuit would look so cute with sneakers or flats….maybe even a wedge sandal. A pump or close toe wedge would be good choices for a more professional appearance. Wearing a jumpsuit to a wedding would require a beautiful heeled sandal, closed toe pump and even embellished sandal or pump to add more drama to the outfit. Jewelry, belts and wraps would be accessories that could be utilized to style your jumpsuit too!
