Embrace Wrap Dress Vibes

For dressier occasions, you can't go wrong with a wide-leg velvet jumpsuit that evokes the classic wrap dress silhouette in a rich jewel tone like mulberry, emerald, or navy. Look for a looser-fitting jumpsuit that mimics the lines of a blazer up top and the volume of wide-leg trousers on the bottom. Bonus points if it comes with a belted waist to bring it all together. Slip on a pair of pumps and you're ready for a night out.

Layer On a Minidress

The sheer dressing trend has made its way to jumpsuits, delivering dozens of exciting styles that also happen to be entirely impractical—unless you toss a mini dress into the mix. Equal parts youthful fashion girlie and mod style star, this look thrives on mixed materials; the more clash between your jumpsuit and your dress, the better. Throw everything from sequins and stripes into the mix and see what sparks joy.

Tips

It's worth noting that a looser-fitting dress works best here. You want this jumpsuit outfit to go with the flow rather than snag or pinch.

Make It a Monochrome Moment

There's something about the singularity of a jumpsuit that makes it naturally suited for a monochromatic look. Don't worry about color-matching your accessories with strict precision. Because a jumpsuit takes up so much visual space, your 'fit will look more nuanced with softer or more vibrant shades in the mix.

Add a Belt Bag

Dress up a utilitarian jumpsuit by cinching your waist with a belt bag. An embellished belt bag functions much like a necklace, adding a bit of polish and delicacy, and softening the sharp lines and angles of an edgier jumpsuit. Unlock a bonus street-style level by coordinating your bag's hardware with any buttons or zippers on your jumpsuit.

Keep It Black and White

Let's say you're looking for an understated look that's still elegant—black and white is a great go-to. Here, the model wears a jumpsuit that uses white to break up the mostly black jumpsuit. Grab a black-and-white handbag and accessorize with gold jewelry to polish off the look.

Try a Trench Silhouette

Trench coats are timeless and sophisticated, and designers have spent decades refining this classic outerwear silhouette. Choosing a jumpsuit in a neutral shade that mimics the lines and detailing of a trench coat is a great way to capture the same quietly luxurious energy in a fresh way.

Opt for Cropped

Finding the right fit with jumpsuits can be tricky, but that doesn't mean you should shy away from cropped or close-fitting styles. Jumpsuits that are cropped and flared above the ankle feel unexpected. If you're a fashion risk-taker, accentuate the shape even more by choosing a color-blocked print.

Flash a White Tee

For an effortlessly cool aesthetic, leave a button- or zip-up jumpsuit open and layer a T-shirt underneath. This outfit shines when you boost the contrast, so go for a dark color and a bold texture like leather, wool, or denim. From there, pair it with a lighter color and linen, like a white cotton T-shirt.

Try Elevated Eveningwear

Channel your inner Audrey Hepburn with a strapless jumpsuit in black satin or velvet. This style is ideal for statement jewelry, as the low neckline won't distract from or interrupt the lines of layered necklaces or long, dangling earring. Complete the Breakfast at Tiffany's fantasy with elegant opera gloves. Here, Lorraine Pascale opts for a black pair, but we could see a white one working just as well.

Double Up on Denim

Denim jumpsuits have big streetwear energy, making them ideal for edgier and oversized styling. Pairing a jean jacket and denim jumpsuit in slightly different washes is, hands down, the easiest way to test out the all-denim trend. It's also a perfect transitional look for fall.

Tips

If you're under 5'5", it's likely that most off-the-rack jumpsuits fit you too long. Our suggestion? Shop for jumpsuits made for petite gals.

Pick Pleating

The right jumpsuit can be ideal for evening events—you just have to know what you're looking for. A wide-legged style with all-over pleating moves like a gown, especially in a soft fabric like chiffon, silk, or satin. We recommend trying a shoulder-baring halter top neckline to add a touch of sensuality without detracting from the elevated nature of this look.

Go High-Waisted

Little-known fact: Jumpsuits can come in high-waisted and low-rise varieties, just like pants. A jumpsuit belted higher at the waistline delivers a more cinched-in silhouette. Wear one with white sneakers and you've got yourself an easy, breezy everyday casual jumpsuit outfit.

Try Slouchy or Oversized

Circumnavigate the difficulty of finding a perfectly fitted jumpsuit by slipping into one that's slouchy and oversized, like Chrissy Teigen's. When choosing a slouchy jumpsuit, we recommend looking for one with a collar to add a bit of structure to the look. Balance out the jumpsuit's shape with strappy flat sandal and a bag or purse with sharp, clean lines.

Go Barbiecore Bright

Add bubbly brightness to a utilitarian jumpsuit by diving into a Barbie-approved color palette and adding preppy accessories like pearls to match. If you're afraid the color trend is coming to a close, the jumpsuit silhouette keeps it grounded—so don't be afraid to pile on your best and Barbie-est accessories.

Balance a Bold Print With Outerwear

Despite their versatility and countless virtues, jumpsuits can occasionally veer into costume territory. Worn on its own, a high-neck jumpsuit with an all-over pattern can read three-ring circus rather than fashion week front row. That said, this style of jumpsuit becomes street-style gold when worn with oversized outerwear layers and chunky black boots or loafers.

Add a Sweater Layer

Keep a sleeveless or camisole-strap jumpsuit in your outfit rotation well into fall and winter by adding a sweater underneath. A turtleneck sweater with three-quarter-length sleeves is a classic option, but you can and should experiment with everything from cable knit to cropped styles. To give this jumpsuit outfit a cohesive, layered look, match your accessories to your sweater's color or print.

Seek Out Structure

Flowy jumpsuits are great, but don't be deterred by one with a structured fit. For an elevated outfit, we recommend a jumpsuit in a solid color with panels or boning that evoke corset or peplum shapes. When styled with delicate jewelry and strappy sandals, this jumpsuit outfit gives gown without any of the fuss of a full-length skirt.

Mix Hard and Soft

The rough and tumble silhouette of a boilersuit or cargo jumpsuit is entirely transformed when done in a soft fabric like satin or silk. Add combat boots to keep the edgy vibe going, and your fanciest designer bag for even more of a pop.

Try a 3D Texture

The magic of jumpsuits is that they're streamlined enough to carry even the boldest of embellishments without looking busy. More than any other single piece of clothing, jumpsuits deliver head-to-toe seamlessness, even when adorned with rosettes, patchwork, or all-over sequins. Pair a jumpsuit dripping in embellishments with a matching jacket or slightly soften the impact with an oversized blazer in black or white.

Wear an Abstract Pattern

This jumpsuit is giving fashion risk-taker vibes. At first glance, the vertical and diagonal stripes in the print seem to clash. The more you look at this jumpsuit outfit, though, the more you appreciate how complex it is. The up-and-down lines at the top elongate the model's torso while the pants' diagonal lines add shape to the waist. And the wet hair look? The cherry on top of an avant-garde sundae.
