Just a few short years ago, jumpsuits languished at the back of our collective wardrobes as relics of the 1980s. Fast forward to 2020, and their rehabilitation is secured in the fashion mainstream and going absolutely nowhere. In fact, in a year we’ve been locked down in our homes for much of, the slouchier jumpsuit has been a constant friend, allowing us to be comfy yet chic and, crucially, not wearing pyjamas.

One common concern is whether jumpsuits are flattering. Happily, just as with dresses, the variety of styles on offer allows you to dress for your body shape; there is an option for everyone. If you’re considering a jumpsuit but want pointers, we can offer a few helpful tips: tall people may prefer to plump for a wide-legged option; cropped, slim-cut jumpsuits generally work well on petite people; off-the-shoulder is great for pear shapes; and a V-neck is a great option for larger chested people.

Having said all that, while these rules of thumb may be helpful for some people, we are emphatically not advocates for prescribed guidelines when it comes to dressing; as ever, wear whatever makes you feel good. And when the item in question is this comfy, why ever not? Here are a few favourites for summer.
