How to choose the right wetsuit?
When you're tall, jumpsuits are ideal! They're made for you because they'll show off your long legs. You can wear anything you want; you have the right body shape, so make the most of it.
Don't hesitate to break up your slender silhouette with a different print between the top and bottom of the jumpsuit, favor contrasting colors or choose a flared cut on the top and a slim fit on the bottom. A little aside for those who are self-conscious about the length and thinness of their legs, don't emphasize the waist! Instead, opt for a low-waisted jumpsuit that tightens at the hips, which will give the impression of a longer bust and shorter legs.
For a perfect look, avoid closed shoes with your jumpsuit and opt for open shoes or gladiator sandals instead.
Playsuit: how to choose the right playsuit?
When you're tall, the playsuit is also a choice piece! It's not reserved for petite women . You can try prints, like floral patterns or horizontal stripes, which will add volume to a slender silhouette. The playsuit with a plunging backless cut to the lower back, in addition to bringing a sensual side, will create a beautiful, harmonious line that will definitely enhance your figure.
If the length of your legs scares you, you can break it up by playing with the material or the colors with a top that's different from the bottom. A little extra for those who want to add volume to the lower body, frills, ruffles, or lace will be your best friends.
How to wear your jumpsuit/playsuit all year round?
Now that we've seen which jumpsuit and romper are right for you, let's take a look at how you can wear these comfortable pieces throughout every season of the year.
In Winter
Wearing a jumpsuit in winter is the best! You're dressed from head to toe in a piece that also keeps you warm. To make sure you don't miss your winter jumpsuit look, you can go for a streetwear style with a denim jumpsuit, a flared jacket, and a pair of old-school sneakers to evoke the spirit of the 80s and 90s.
To wear a playsuit in winter , as we have written several times on this blog, your best friend will be tights to stay elegant without shivering from the cold. Instead, opt for a sober and dark color like black, navy blue and dark gray. You will add a warm vest or jacket which will give you a glamorous look. Finally, wear camel-colored ankle boots, matching your belt for a top look.
In Spring
For spring weather, as we already mentioned in one of our previous articles , we appreciate the denim jacket which is a must-have in every wardrobe and which goes wonderfully with a jumpsuit or a playsuit. Opt for a small pair of flat and comfortable camel-colored sandals. There you have it, your favorite outfit for the season!
In summer
For hot, sunny summer days, go for printed and colorful styles! As we mentioned above, a floral print playsuit will be perfect for tall women. Pair it with sandals and a matching handbag and belt, and you're ready to hit the beach.
As for the jumpsuit, choose lightweight, comfortable fabrics. You want to feel comfortable in your outfit. For colors, opt for yellow shades that go well with the sun. Finally, complete your look with a small handbag and a hat.
In Autumn
For fall, choose a brown jumpsuit that will complement the orange landscapes of the season. Continue wearing open-toed shoes if the weather allows, and add a hat to change things up a bit. If you choose a playsuit, stick to the same colors; you can keep the hat too, but for shoes, opt for over-the-knee boots.
What are the occasions to wear your jumpsuit/playsuit?
To go out in the evening
For a chic evening, we recommend opting for a single color: black! A subtle color that's sure to make you look elegant. Pair your outfit with heels, open-toed pumps if possible, and a small clutch. For an all-black look, opt for gold jewelry.
If you're going for a playsuit, a strapless, belted style will be perfect. If you're going for a jumpsuit, play with the cuts, rather loose on top and rather tight on the bottom.
To go to the office
When we go to work, we tend to look more professional, more demure and classic. However, this doesn't mean we can't be elegant or wear a playsuit or jumpsuit.
Opt for neutral tones like brown, beige, or khaki. Pair your playsuit with a tailored jacket, a pair of ankle boots with a small heel, or lightweight canvas sneakers for a more casual look. You can also pair your jumpsuit with a tailored jacket; the black and white combination is perfect for a working girl look. Finally, always wear open-toed heels.
To stay at home
What we want when we stay at home is to be comfortable and attractive at the same time. The task is not easy, but not impossible! You are looking for a style that we call "loungewear." To achieve this look, you will choose a cotton jumpsuit with long sleeves or a V-neck. In the case of a jumpsuit with a V-neck, add a kimono.
For a playsuit, you'll want to opt for materials like satin or silk, which are comfortable to wear. Thin straps on the top and a lace insert on the bottom will make you look sexy for a cozy day at home.
What material for your jumpsuit?
In addition to choosing the length and color of your jumpsuit, it's also important to consider the material. These days, you have a multitude of options. You're sure to find a style that suits you. What if we took a look? This way, you'll be able to choose from the chic women's jumpsuits you can easily find online.
If you are looking for designs for a romantic evening or for a ceremony, such as a wedding, you can consider:
- a crepe jumpsuit (it can be silk or wool)
- a wool jersey jumpsuit
- a lace jumpsuit
- a satin jumpsuit
If you are invited to a party where you are going to liven things up and dance, you can dare to wear a sequined jumpsuit.
If you're looking for a style to wear in your everyday life, we suggest choosing other materials. Casual denim jumpsuits are perfect. You can also wear a linen jumpsuit for the summer season. You can also choose a cotton or viscose jumpsuit. A nylon and polyester blend is also another option. If you're looking for a warm style for winter, you can consider velvet jumpsuits. Leather jumpsuits are another option. You can choose a wrinkled one.
Whichever choice you make, it's essential to remember to choose one that suits your body shape. For example, if you have a generous figure, be careful with heavier fabrics, like velvet. All you have to do is browse the different styles before deciding on one.
