Jumpsuits are without a doubt a statement piece. The all-in-one garment creates a striking look that is beyond that of a simple dress or pants and top combo. It’s just more fashionable! So, why do so many women still avoid this trend-worthy style? I, for one, can attest to not really loving the look for me personally. However, once I found a style that suited me, I fell in love instantly! I think it is the easiest piece of clothing to pull off. I would caution though, if you choose the wrong fit or add the wrong accessories, your jumpsuit can go from a fashion hero to a fashion zero. Luckily, we’ve got you. We are here to help make sure everything you wear is seriously chic.
Like dresses, jumpsuits come in many different styles, so part of pulling off this look is all about finding the right one for you. When shopping for a jumpsuit, consider your needs. Are you after a casual jumpsuit to wear during the day or something more formal for an evening look? Do you need long sleeves because the weather maybe a bit chilly or is a strapless style perfect for the summer heat? Once you know your requirements, you can start focusing on the details. In general, styles that are fitted at the waist and then looser at the legs tend to be the most flattering. If you are tall, wide-leg jumpsuits that fall to the ground will be highly complementary. If you aren’t tall, you may want to opt for a slim cropped style instead to avoid looking overwhelmed with fabric.
Long and Flowing-Formal Occasions
When attending formal functions, women often fall into the mind set of thinking that a long dress is their only option. While a dress may be the “safe” choice for dressing appropriately, it will never have the same impact as a jumpsuit. Jumpsuits can be just as beautiful and polished as a dress while adding an out-of-the-box wow factor. This look will definitely turn heads while earning you some style points at your function. Choose flowing full length styles that are made from softer dressier fabrics. Spaghetti straps or strapless styles are perfect; it just depends on your preference. Now, I challenge you ladies, for your next formal event try stepping out of your comfort zone and wear a jumpsuit. Dress your look up by adding some simple yet chic accessories, and you’re ready to go.
Long with Cinched Waist-Casual Occasions
If you’re looking to add some serious style to your weekend wardrobe, you can’t go wrong with a casual jumpsuit. Relaxed, super comfortable and oh-so-chic, a casual jumpsuit is the perfect thing to get you out of your jeans and t-shirt rut. Choose from cotton and denim varieties in a range of silhouettes to find the one that suits your style. In particular, loose fit jumpsuits that feature an elastic or drawstring waist tend to be flattering and perfect for jumpsuit virgins. If you plan to wear flats with your jumpsuit, choose something that’s length appropriate. Remember, don’t go crazy with your accessories, less is better. Besides, if you’re new at this, take it one add-on at a time and start with the basics.
Cropped Length-Occasions when you’re Trying Something New
While a wide-leg jumpsuit is the most flattering, a more closely fitted jumpsuit can give you a sleeker and streamlined look. The best hem length for this type of jumpsuit is right at the ankle. This length still gives you the long lean look of a jumpsuit while allowing you to show off your shoes at the same time. If you want to try a shorter, right below the calf length, choose a jumpsuit in a gaucho style. The extra width from the flared style balances out the jumpsuit’s short length and will not stunt your height. Guess what ladies, this was the first style I fell in love with! I found it to be very faltering plus it allowed me to show off my cute heels.
Stylistic Jumpsuit Tips to Remember
• If you are tall, select a wide-leg jumpsuit that finishes just above the ground.
• If you are short, choose a slim, cropped style.
• For a formal event, pick a sleek jumpsuit that flatters your figure.
• For a cool casual look, wear a loose-fit jumpsuit that features an elasticated or drawstring waist.
• Complete your jumpsuit look with fashionable accessories, such as jewelry, shoes and belts.

I felt the same way Davina, but its not as bad as you think. Choose a jumpsuit that can easily pull down like the navy one featured. The jumpsuits that I find most complicated are the ones with the zippers at the back. Let us reintroduce you to the jumpsuit again, trust me you’ll fall in love!
