Gone are the days when we refused to wear clothes because our body shape didn't fit the fashion standard. Today, we have the right to feel good in our clothes, whether we're tall, short, slim, or curvy. The only rule to follow is to treat yourself.
The comfort of jumpsuits isn't just for certain women who have the right body shape for this piece. Today, we're going to give you some tips for wearing a jumpsuit when you have curves. In this article, you'll discover:
- How to choose the right wetsuit?
- How to choose the right playsuit?
- How to wear your jumpsuit/playsuit all year round?
- What are the occasions to wear your jumpsuit/playsuit?
How to choose the right wetsuit?
In general, when we have curves, the biggest fear when choosing clothes is that they don't flatter us and that they highlight what we want to hide. Jumpsuits are no exception to the rule and even if we find a nice model, if it doesn't look good when we wear it, we will avoid taking it. What we advise you, if you are self-conscious about your belly for example, is to highlight the parts that you want to show like your chest or your buttocks. With this technique you draw attention elsewhere than on the curves of your belly, like a real magic trick! 🎩
The jumpsuit is ideal for the simple reason that it elongates your silhouette instead of compressing it. If you want to highlight your generous bust, opt for a plunging neckline. As for the material, choose a flowing fabric and avoid silk or satin at all costs, as well as shiny fabrics that can highlight small imperfections.
How to choose the right playsuit?
What about the playsuit? With less fabric, there's a better chance of showing off your body, right? Should we ban this piece from our wardrobe? Nonsense! At the risk of repeating ourselves, there are no physical standards for wearing this or that item of clothing. So, when it comes to playsuits, you can and should treat yourself. Apparently, black is slimming? Maybe, but that's no reason to avoid colors and patterns.
If you're afraid to show off your arms, opt for styles with mid-length, flared sleeves or styles with long sleeves and bare shoulders. For the top, like the jumpsuit, highlight your full bust with a V-neck or wrap-around neckline. For the bottom, opt for long shorts rather than mini shorts, which will tend to flatten your silhouette. Finally, if you don't want to draw attention to your stomach, avoid details like buttons, seams, or ruffles at the hips. For the material, opt for a thick jersey or denim.
How to wear your jumpsuit/playsuit all year round?
Now that we've decided which jumpsuit or playsuit you're leaning towards, let's take a look at how to wear these two pieces all year round.
In Winter
If you're going for a jumpsuit for winter, you can choose a model with long sleeves. Add a belt and wear a pair of heeled boots. Personally, we love this all-black look! To keep you warm, you can opt for a down jacket or denim jacket, which will perfectly complement your style.
Wearing a playsuit in winter is entirely possible. Just wear tights that match your playsuit. For our example (even though there are no tights in the photo), we recommend a black playsuit with long sleeves and a plunging neckline. Add black tights and a pair of pumps. For warm clothing, you can opt for a long coat.
In Spring
The temperatures are slowly rising, and you want to look your best for the arrival of the warmer weather. So, opt for a black jumpsuit with a pattern like polka dots, for example. Over it, you can add a denim jacket, which is, in our opinion, the must-have piece for this season. With a pair of heels, sunglasses, and a straw hat, you'll look radiant.
For a playsuit, try a playsuit with a floral pattern (a symbol of the season) and wear nude tights underneath to counter the morning chill. For shoes, thigh-high boots will be perfect with this outfit, and you can add a long cardigan on really cold days.
In summer
When the weather's nice and warm, there's only one thing to do: treat yourself! To do this, choose a belted jumpsuit in a plain, bright color like yellow or orange, for example. Complete your look with a pair of small heels or sandals and a handbag, and you'll be perfectly ready for your wild summer evenings.
If you choose to wear a playsuit to the beach, opt for one with a floral pattern. Pair it with sandals and a straw bag, and you've got the perfect combination for a relaxing afternoon by the sea.
In Autumn
The end of the year is certainly approaching, but that's no reason to put away your jumpsuit or playsuit! For the jumpsuit, you can opt for a solid model (navy blue in particular) with a neckline. On top, you can add a very trendy mid-season garment: the kimono.
If you're opting for a playsuit, like for spring, a black one with floral print will be perfect. Opt for long sleeves this time around. Add black tights, heels, and a long cardigan for a great look when the weather turns cooler.
What are the occasions to wear your jumpsuit/playsuit?
To go out in the evening
To really shine, you can opt for a jumpsuit with vertical stripes, which will elongate your silhouette. A model with bare shoulders and flared mid-length sleeves will be perfect. With a pair of heels on your feet, you'll be the queen of the evening.
For a playsuit, opt for a dark or neutral shade (black, navy, or ecru). Wear a pair of wedge sandals and accessorize your outfit with a small clutch.
To go to the office
When looking for a work outfit, the goal is to be elegant without looking extravagant or eccentric. A solid-colored jumpsuit with long sleeves and flared pants will be ideal for looking both chic and comfortable.
A plain playsuit with short sleeves and long shorts will also be perfect for the office. For both styles, we recommend wearing heels that match the color of your jumpsuit/playsuit.
For a relaxing weekend
Relaxation means comfort. The goal is to feel your best in your clothes, but without neglecting your appearance. This isn't about going out shopping in your pajamas. Fortunately, there are jumpsuits that meet these expectations. Choose a belted, long-sleeved style with a button-down collar and pockets at the top. Choose a solid color like khaki, which is great, and a material like thick jersey or even denim. Add a cap and a pair of sneakers, and you'll never want to take this outfit off.
We can give you pretty much the same advice for a playsuit. Opt for a model with a belt, long sleeves, and a button-down collar. Add a pair of boots and you'll be ready for the relaxing weekend ahead.
