5 Jumpsuits 2 Ways: How to Style a Jumpsuit
In honor of today’s super exciting jumpsuit styles video, I am wearing my favorite 70’s inspired jumpsuit. I am feeling really inspired by how a jumpsuit can be a whole outfit or just one element in your own unique look. Get ready to flex that style muscle, because today we are getting creative!
Mix those textures
Start with a loose, hippie style jumpsuit. It should be in a neutral color and be made from a really light material. Throw a light-colored sweater on top and finish with a matching pair of sneakers. I like to tie the sweater up to give me more shape and pull my hair back into a messy ponytail.
You can also skip out on the sweater and add a vintage-inspired blouse instead. Add a belt around your waist and grab your best pair of brown leather shoes. Both of these looks are unique in their own way and show us the ultimate jumpsuit truth - layering is your best friend!
A queen in jean
The next jumpsuit is a gorgeous dark jean look with a tie in the back and buttons running down the front. I paired it with a mustard yellow cardigan and those same trust brown leather shoes.
Next, I switched the cardigan out for a silk cheetah print blouse and paired it with a sexy pair of brown boots. If this look doesn’t show you how easy it is to elevate plain jumpsuits, then I don’t know what will.
Work it!
Jumpsuit number three may look like a worker’s uniform at first glance, but it is about to become so much more. Put a colorful top under the jumpsuit and unbutton the top. Pair with matching sneakers and add a kerchief around your waist for definition.
Or, for something a little more daring, add a long-sleeved floral blouse under the jumpsuit. Grab a light-colored pair of low heels and finish off with a cute crossbody bag. I chose a red one for a pop of color. This outfit might be my favorite! I love the way the colors go together and the feminine blouse compliments the masculine jumpsuit.
Rocking the red
Our next look starts with a bright red two-piece jumpsuit. Because the top half kind of hangs down, we are going to tie that middle up for some nice shape and definition. Slip-on a pair of sexy black boots and grab yourself a matching cross-body bag. Finally, for that finishing touch, add a handkerchief around your neck!
Alternatively, embrace your feminine side by adding a red dress over your red jumpsuit. Tuck the dress into the bottom half and wrap a belt around your waist. The contrast of the reds will give you a really unique look. Add a pair of brown leather shoes and you’re done!
Plaid pairings
Going back in with another two-piece, this plaid look doesn’t do much on its own. But, after adding a knit sweater and some brown loafers, the outfit is transformed! I chose a sweater with some back cutouts so that the matching plaid top could peek through. Next, I added a cute hat to finish.
Although, if you’re looking for something more appropriate for summer weather, this second look may be more up your alley. Add a short-sleeved turtle neck under your top and tuck the whole thing in. Finish with a pair of leather boots and a rocking plaid blazer. I love this look because it really shows off the amazing world of prints and patterns. There is so much fun to be had with a jumpsuit that’s patterned!
I hope these outfits helped you guys gain some inspiration for your own outfits. Remember, when it comes to jumpsuits, layering is your best friend. When you style a jumpsuit don’t be afraid to put something under it, something over it, or just a fun bag or belt looped around.
