Jumpsuits for Women

What types of jumpsuits for women are there?

Jumpsuits come full-length with wide legs, ankle-length in a culotte cut or short as a playsuit, in both flowing and sturdier fabrics. The length, width and fabric determine which occasions each style suits:

• Long wide-leg jumpsuit: drapes softly and looks evening-ready in no time with heels.
• Culotte jumpsuit: finishes above the ankle, feels airy and puts your shoes on show.
• Short jumpsuit or playsuit: has shorts-length legs, which makes it a good choice for hot summer days.
• Denim or heavy cotton jumpsuit: tougher and more casual, with a hint of workwear about it.

What is the difference between a jumpsuit and overalls?

In everyday use, both terms mean the same thing: a garment where the top and trousers are cut as one piece. ‘Jumpsuit’ tends to describe the fashion version in flowing fabrics. ‘Overalls’ recalls the original workwear and is often used for casual styles in denim or cotton. So when you shop, the cut and fabric matter more than the name.

Which jumpsuit suits my body shape?

The right jumpsuit for you depends less on your figure than on the torso length. If the crotch hangs too low or the fabric pulls at the shoulders, the size isn't right, even if the leg length is. A defined waist, created with a tie belt, for example, gives wider styles more shape. A V-neck and a long, unbroken leg line have a lengthening effect. If you love the cut but want more ways to mix and match, culottes are the two-piece alternative.

How do I style a jumpsuit?

A jumpsuit is already a complete outfit, so all that's left to choose are your shoes and jacket. With sneakers and a denim jacket, it becomes a relaxed weekend look. Add a blazer and simple shoes, and it works for the office too. In summer, flat sandals are a good choice, while a light cardigan keeps you warm on cooler evenings. And if you'd rather skip the trouser legs altogether, reach for a dress.
