FAQs

1. How to wear a jumpsuit?

While it may not seem straightforward the first time, the process of wearing a jumpsuit is very easy. Unzip or unbutton any closures before you begin. Step into the legs one at a time (just like pants) and pull it over the torso. You must make sure that the waistline or midsection of the jumpsuit aligns before pulling it up further and sliding your arms into the sleeves or shoulder straps. Make adjustments to ensure you are comfortable before fastening the zip or buttons and you will be ready to go!

2. How to pick a jumpsuit for my body type?

For an elongated effect, opt for ankle-length or cropped styles. If you have long legs, flared jumpsuits will be your best bet to highlight the height. Plus-size women can opt for high-waist jumpsuits for a comfortable and flattering fit. As jumpsuits are essentially one piece of fabric it can be tricky to find the right fit, especially at the waist. No matter what your body type, the best way to find the right fit is to ensure that the waist section does not move as you sit up or down. The jumpsuit should flow with your movements without restrictions.

3. How can one hide their belly while wearing a jumpsuit?

The linear silhouette and fitted nature of classic jumpsuits may not be suited to all body types. If you have the pear or apple body type (or any other shape with an undefined waist, opt for layered or peplum style jumpsuits that add volume at the waist for a flattering appearance. You can also consider wearing shapewear under jumpsuits for special occasions to an even shape.

4. How to use the washroom while wearing a jumpsuit?

The first thing you need to accept while wearing a jumpsuit – you will have to eventually undress and be topless in a washroom. While some jumpsuits come with zippers to make the process easy, most jumpsuits require you to undo the top part. From there, it’s the extremely crucial process of ensuring the jumpsuit does not drop down or (worst case scenario) touch the bathroom floor. The most tried and tested method is to tuck the top half under the fold of your knees. You can also simply hold on to it with one hand.

5. What can you wear with jumpsuits?

Jumpsuits with shoulder straps can be paired with t-shirts underneath for different looks. You can also wear bralettes or tube tops for a breezy casual summer outfit. For the colder months, layer your jumpsuits with scarves or jackets to switch up the look of any jumpsuit. While implementing all the above tips, ensure that you are picking complementary shades or colours that match the jumpsuit itself.
