Jumpsuits

While a romper is when you wear a one-piece that blends shorts and a blouse, a jumpsuit is when your bottoms are full-length. Jumpsuits typically go down to at least your shins for a culotte look and may go all the way to the floor to elongate your silhouette and add height.

Depending on the dress code, you can wear jumpsuits to a wedding. They’re typically appropriate for festive, semi-formal, and formal events—especially in outdoor venues.

To ensure your boutique jumpsuit is sophisticated enough for a wedding, look for structured silhouettes and high-end materials, like velvet, silk, and chiffon. You should also explore elevated colors and patterns. We love bold, gem tones, as well as floral prints for a wedding!

The finishing touches are especially important here! Make sure you’re wearing heels or at least fancy sandals to your event. You should also consider an updo to show off the jewelry you’re wearing and the neckline of your outfit.

Jumpsuits may be acceptable for laidback work environments if you choose the right casual one-piece jumpsuit and accessorize it correctly. If you’re thinking about jumpsuits for work, shop for black or navy pieces in a thicker cotton material. Transform this casual style into workwear with a cardigan, booties, and oversized tote bag.

If the waist feels too loose for your look, don’t be shy about adding a belt. A brown belt over a black jumpsuit makes a subtle statement that’s just right for the office.

The best way to tell if your boutique jumpsuit is the right size is by checking the side seams. They should run completely straight all the way from your head to your toes. If any of the side seams are pulling toward your front or back, you probably need a little more width. Size up to get a better fit, as it’s easier to take in an outfit than add fabric to make it larger.

We’ve talked a little bit about wearing a formal jumpsuit to fancy events, but how do you elevate a casual one-piece jumpsuit into something a little more special?

The most important thing is to give yourself shape. Add a belt to prevent a loose jumpsuit from looking like a flour sack! Next, you should wear sophisticated accessories with your boutique jumpsuit. Think gold jewelry instead of statement necklaces and leather purses instead of woven totes. Finally, skip the slides and sandals in favor of heels or booties.
