When jumpsuits first creeped into our style consciousness, we were not totally certain how fashionable it was to wear slimmer versions of mechanic coveralls.
But in 2014, jumpsuits got the definite seal of approval when Solange Knowles rocked one with a cape for her uber stylish wedding to Alan Ferguson.
Between that time and now, although jumpsuits have evolved in cuts and design, some of us have yet to wrap our heads around the trend. Sometimes it is about the awkwardness that goes on in the midsection of the wearer when a jumpsuit is badly tailored, other times it’s simply about “so how do I pee in a toilet outside of home when I’m wearing a jumpsuit?”
On the bright side, jumpsuits seem the easiest clothing items to wear as they hardly need heavy accesorising. Just a pair of good shoes – preferably heels, a belt to cinch the waist – if that’s your thing and a pretty smile to go.
