Summer LookBook: Jumpsuits

Jumpsuit 101: Everything you need to know about jumpsuits to wear for the summer!

With the rainy and cold weather gone, it’s about time to bring out the summer wardrobe! Whether they’re stored in the back of the closet, or you’re looking to expand the summer wardrobe, jumpsuits are a fun summer piece to wear when you’re sick of maxi dresses and shorts. Jumpsuits are either a hit or a miss,but don’t let that stop you from wearing them. They’re chic and bold; a statement outfit that can make you look confident and well put-together. Follow below to see examples of how to style and accessorize three different jumpsuits.

Find the Perfect Fit

Finding the perfect fit will help with looking polished and poised. The most important thing to remember when buying a jumpsuit is to never buy anything too tight or too loose. You have to find your Goldilocks fit in the middle. Anything too tight can make make you look like Catwoman, a look that no one should ever go for (unless it’s Halloween). Anything too loose can mask your figure.

A perfect jumpsuit will be tighter at the waist and looser towards the legs. Most jumpsuits come with a belt or are cinched around your waist to give it shape. Cinching your waist gives a feminine look by defining your curves.
