jumpsuits

Jumpsuits are our one-piece alternative to a dress-and-separates outfit — wide-leg and tailored cuts, halter and strap necklines, in solid colours and a handful of prints. They're a good option if you want the ease of a dress but prefer trousers, or if you're simply after something different from your usual rotation.

Fit through the waist matters more here than in most other categories, since a jumpsuit needs to sit right at both the shoulder and the waistline to look intentional rather than baggy. Look for styles with a tie waist or elastic back if you want more adjustability.

Style with heels and minimal jewellery for evening, or flats and a denim jacket for daytime. Jumpsuits are especially useful for occasions where a dress feels like the obvious choice but you'd rather wear something less expected.
