Get The Look – Jumpsuit And Playsuit

This time
we're turning our attention to the jumpsuit.
Love it or hate it, the jumpsuit never goes out of the fashion cycle for
very long, whether it's as a 70s style denim number, or it's short legged
cousin the playsuit, it comes back time and time again. It's not the most practical of outfits and is
definitely reserved for nights out and events where you will get photographed
but worn well a jumpsuit can be business-appropriate or flirty and fun,
depending on the cut, colour, but most importantly how you style it.
One of the
issues many women have with all-in-one clothing (apart from the obvious toilet
dilemma), is that it can be unflattering around the waist area if it's not cut
for your particular body type. A belt
often fixes that problem, and using a silk scarf as a belt can also elevate the
look to new heights and cover your tummy at the same time. A belt or sash isn't the only accessory,
however, as playsuits look great accessorised with earrings and bangles. Necklaces can work well with jumpsuits, but
if they're highly patterned a necklace can be too much for a sophisticated
look.
Like maxi
dresses, jumpsuits can swamp a shorter figure, however, wearing heels and using
accessories in the right place you can still make it work. Heels obviously add height and they also
provide a focal point at the bottom of the silhouette. This should be balanced with statement
earrings, defining the upper proportion of the silhouette, while a couple of well-chosen
bangles complete the look perfectly.
Earrings with some movement are ideal for pairing with a jumpsuit and
depending on the colour we have some perfect options for you. Our Duo Vert and Duo Bleu earrings have a
little movement and are sparkly and grown up at the same time. The blue option is especially flattering
thanks to the two different shades of topaz used.
If you're
taller, then our Bella Collezione earrings are a good match for a
jumpsuit. They are more ornate and have
more going on than the Duo ones, but if you have extra height this means you
can get away with more detail in your accessories when wearing a jumpsuit. The dazzling cubic zirconia in these earrings
means they go with everything and can even lend themselves to formal
events. A well cut jumpsuit paired with
these earrings would be ideal for an awards ceremony or corporate dinner, even
a red carpet event. Whatever your height
the Devotion earrings, available with topaz or opal stones, are perfect for accessorising
a sleek silhouette like a jumpsuit and they have the movement that you need to
balance out the sharp lines of a tailored one-piece.
In terms of
bangles, we think stacking two or more is a fun way of accessorising, but if
you're short you might find one does the job with more panache than multiple
ones. Our Twister bangle is fun, modern
and stylish and goes with everything, so it's definitely a solid investment for
your jewellery collection. Our Titanic
and Icicle bangles are great for stacking as they complement each other well,
but if you're going for just one then choose the Tutti Frutti bangle. Subtle gemstones at the end of each spray can
help tie the bangle to your colour scheme, while the modern design will draw
admiration from all around.
