Jumping For Jumpsuits!


Jumpsuits have been all the rage this summer. If you open up any major mag you will see various celebs gracing the pages wearing these one-piece ensembles. As fashion forward as these items can be, they can also be a fashion disaster. Here is my list of Do’s & Don’ts when it comes to jumpsuits.

DO
1.   Consider Pairing It With A Jacket.

If you are new to jumpsuits, try adding a blazer or jacket to your look. This will give the jumpsuit a more sophisticated appeal and keep you looking classy rather than trashy.




2. Stay With Neutral Colours.

By staying with black or basic patterns, it will prevent the jumpsuit from taking over your body. It is important to let the jumpsuit be the showcase rather than a flashy textile or bold colour.



DON’T

1.   Wear Your Jumpsuit Super Tight.

Yes, “staying alive” was a hit in the 60’s, but to stay current make sure to purchase a loose fitting fabric when selecting your jumpsuit of choice.



2.   Pair Your Jumpsuit With Ballet Flats.

Although ballet flats are super comfortable, be aware when pairing them with a jumpsuit. The added height of high heels or bootie will give you a boost and prevent you from getting an overall frumpy look.



Keeping these do's & do not's in mind, here are some inspirational looks to get you jumpsuit inspired:

Eyelet.


Instantly update your wardrobe with eyelet pieces that add a feminine twist to your closet. Sweet, frilly and romantic, these peek-a-boo fabrics provide a soft look and will bring out your flirty side.

Everyone from Louis Vuitton to Vera Wang illustrated their affection for this textile on the runway this season - Showcasing buttoned-up blouses, flirty skirts and peplum dresses constructed with see-through eyelet fabrics.

A great look for summer, eyelets are at the top of my list. Perfect for bridal/baby showers and cocktail parties, this fabric will have you looking stylish (yet airy) on those humid summer days.

3 Ways: The Maxi Dress

By this point, all of you are likely aware of how much I love maxi dresses. They are comfy & stylish and this laid back look goes a long way with me.

One of my favourite features of maxi dresses is that they can be dressed up or dressed down depending on the occasion. Perfect to throw on to run errands and awesome to dress up for a night on the town – maxi dresses are great for any occasion.

To show the versatility of one of my favourite articles of clothing, I have taken a Mara Hoffman maxi dress and shown how it can be styled in 3 very different ways. From date night to day appropriate, maxi dresses are a must-have in any stylish girls wardrobe.
