Long jumpsuits for day to evening cool
Long jumpsuits for women spent decades in the fashion wilderness – but now they're back, and light-years away from their 70s heyday. These sexy, fun one-pieces offer a new and exciting way of dressing – but it's important to figure out how to style your long jumpsuit. Without paying attention, these garments can easily end up frumpy and shapeless. For example, you'll often find functional, boilersuit-inspired jumpsuits with details, including pockets, buttons and zips. These can look really cool in a military chic way – but if you're not careful, you could wind up looking like a plumber going to work. Match your long jumpsuit with feminine accessories to stop this from happening. Go for a pair of heels, and roll up the cuffs to flash a bit of skin on your legs.
Choosing a long jumpsuit that works
You may think that long jumpsuits are for women who are tall and slim – but the truth is, any body shape can rock a long one-piece. If you are very slender, you can afford to try styles that don't emphasise the waist; if you're curvier, wear yours with a belt. Sexy jumpsuits for pear shapes include off-the-shoulder styles. This will help to balance out your hips, while also giving you a daring look. Busty girls should look for wrap styles to downplay their chest. If you've got a smaller chest, you can rock a higher neck – or, if you're really feeling brave, go for a backless jumpsuit and leave your bra at home!
Dressing up in long sexy jumpsuits
The beauty of a long jumpsuit is that it can be worn for every occasion. For evening wear, look for styles with surprising details. A one-shoulder jumpsuit, or a strapless style, are both great for a night out. Strapless jumpsuits are an excellent choice if you're feeling a bit shy, as they'll make you seem like you're showing off a lot of skin – without actually having to do it. Choose your accessories carefully. Many long jumpsuits come with their own tie belt, but you might want to add a statement belt to dress it up. If you've chosen a solid-coloured jumpsuit, you can go wild with jewellery. Choose big, eye-catching earrings or, if the neckline allows it, a special necklace. For a print jumpsuit, keep your jewellery a little simpler.
