Jumpsuit is a trend that just won’t go away. This distinct 1970s vibe is being embraced by celebrities and fashionistas in Nigeria and the world over.
Jumpsuits can be a little intimidating, if you’ve never worn one before. Don’t be nervous! They may be inspired by men’s coveralls, but they can be totally feminine and sophisticated in the right cuts and with the right styling.
Be it in fitted style or flared bottoms, it is a true testament to a woman’s style. But they can be tricky. Here’s what to do (and what to avoid) so you’ll look more like a fashionista than like your high school janitor.
Break it up
Break up that big block of colour with a light weight jacket. Leave it open to elongate your body or wear it on your shoulders.
Glam it up
Jumpsuits are just as good for evening as they are for day, especially when worn with glitzy metallic accessories and a sleek jacket (or vest!) – perfect for a fancy dinner or a chic black tie cocktail party.
Show some major cleavage
A deep, plunging neckline is sexy, but it’s also great for breaking up a graphic all-over print. Use a short necklace, bold earring, or face-framing hat to help draw the eye up, away from your cleavage.
Mix hard and soft
A leather jacket and chunky metallic jewellery are great for adding a little edge to a feminine and flowy pastel jumpsuit.
Go for bold colour
Bright colours are automatic attention-getters – great for those times when you want to show off your shape.
Just add a heel
When in doubt, add a high heel – even the most utilitarian-looking jumpsuit can be completely transformed by a good pair of heels.
