The Jumpsuit – a must for every woman's wardrobe?

The recent revival of jumpsuits comes as a relief to many as they truly are the most giving garment you can add to your wardrobe. Dismiss dressing dilemmas with a jumpsuit - all you need to do is throw it on and you're ready for the day. Whatever the occasion, there will be a jumpsuit to, well, suit. Whether you want something glamorous and elegant for a special event, something cool and contemporary for a night out or something cute and comfortable for lounging in, jumpsuits come in every cut, colour and pattern imaginable so there's something to suit every need. 

A great alternative to a dress for events, a jumpsuit with a wide palazzo pant will ooze old Hollywood glamour and with every embellishment imaginable available, a jumpsuit is the only choice if you want to be the belle of the ball. They also make an amazing work wear option, wearing a simple jersey or tailored jumpsuit with a blazer in a complementary colour can give a slick and stylish look perfect for making an impact in the office and all you need to do is add a pair of heels and some accessories and you have a great look for after hours. Patterned pieces in flirty florals or punchy polka-dots look great layered up with cosy cardigans for a look that's right on trend and makes a real style statement with minimal effort.

All over the catwalk, jumpsuits are favoured by the world's most celebrated designers for their no-hassle, high-impact effect, from Marc Jacobs' mischievous rompers in raucous colours to Stella McCartney's simple and sophisticated pieces in sumptuous silks and cascading crepes. All the hottest stars have been seen sporting them from Rihanna to Nicole Richie and Gwyneth Paltrow to the Olsens. No wonder the celebrities can't get enough of them because as well as being easy to accessorise and an outfit in their own right, jumpsuits make fabulous figure fixers. Whether you want something to give you curves with a nipped in waist, a bit of extra coverage with sleeves and wide-legged trousers or make the most of your bust with a low cut style.

Tailored jumpsuits are perfect when you want to show off your figure, while baggy styles give an edgy urban appearance. Retro inspired jumpsuits range from asymmetrical numbers for a sumptuous 70s feel to billowing sleeves and flared trousers for a sweet 60s look. With a jumpsuit you're only ever one garment away from creating the look you want.
