Jumpsuits are on fire this season, speaking figuratively of course but they are in beautiful shades of burnt orange and amber to softer tones of camel and browns. Most designers have cinched the waists of they're models petite frames, drawing in the pleats of the trousers with thin leather belts or Incorporated matching belts within the garment itself A La Armani Prive, others have gone for a sleek streamlined approach using glossy satins like Ungaro in a slim fit trouser and fitted waist silhouette. How to work the look:
A lot of girls and women approach this trend with a pre-conceived idea that they wont look right wearing one, that there only for "tall and skinny" girls, But they couldn't be further from the truth. Finding the right jumpsuit could lengthen your body and legs, girls you have a choice between two styles, look in the petite departments of certain stores and look for high waisted and cropped (ankle grazer) trouser style this will give the illusion that you have longer legs, wear with a low cut shoe in order to show off more skin to add length. Or alternatively choose straight legged trouser with pleating. BUT!! I can't stress this enough as it is a real pet peeve of mine, buy the correct trouser length! The hem of the trouser should just skim the floor but not touch. Otherwise you'll ruin the hem, and when trying it on in store grab a pair of heels to try with it, because you can always turn up the hem when wearing with flats but you can add length after. Dress up a jumpsuit by wearing with a great statement necklace and a waist belt, and why not try mixing your jumpsuit with another trend and wear a cape or fur as a cover up. To dress down why not buy a really thin jersey tee and wear underneath to add depth to the outfit and throw on the new aviator coats over the top with a fantastically high pair of platform boots.
The colour palette:
You can be as free with this trend as you like, try prints and soft warm fabrics like wools jersey and satin and colours go for autumnal colours like oranges, reds browns and creams and why not try purple and combine two major trends.
