Why wearing a jumpsuit when you're curvy is a great idea?

Often showcased on slender models, jumpsuits can sometimes seem exclusive to the body types we see on the runway. However, that’s not the case at all! Having curves should never stop you from wearing a jumpsuit: in fact, this garment can accentuate your figure beautifully! Whether you have wide hips, a bit of a tummy, or a curvy physique, a well-fitted jumpsuit can quickly become your best mate! Indeed, it offers a multitude of benefits:

• It stays in place, unlike some pants or skirts that can slip down.
• It’s comfortable and easy to wear: no need to put together a matching outfit!
• It can be stylish, giving you a unique look for a special event, or casual, allowing you to enjoy an original and trendy style every day!

What are the potential drawbacks of such an outfit?

The jumpsuit doesn’t really have any flaws if you choose it wisely. That’s why I encourage you to find a style that flatters your figure and makes you feel comfortable. Sometimes, off-the-shelf models can be too fitted and unflattering.

To avoid any disappointment, I can only recommend choosing a swimsuit from a curvy or plus-size range. These styles are designed specifically for people with fuller figures and are made to enhance and highlight your curves.

Which outfit to choose if you have a curvy figure?

Are you on the hunt for the perfect jumpsuit? Here are some tips to help you find a piece that you'll wear for years and that will become a staple in your wardrobe!

A loose and flowing jumpsuit

Overalls are typically garments worn in summer or during the transitional seasons: they offer a sense of lightness and comfort. To highlight your curves and suggest them elegantly, I recommend opting for a loose-fitting style, which can be slightly fitted at the waist.

You can choose a very simple cut or something more elaborate: ruffles at the bust, for instance, will be perfect for highlighting your neckline. As for the sleeves, you can opt for short or ¾ length, wide or balloon-shaped, meaning they are narrower at the end. It's best to avoid long sleeves as they may overwhelm your silhouette.

👉 Finally, when choosing your wetsuit, pay special attention to your neckline, especially if it’s a piece you plan to wear regularly for work and activities. Avoid a neckline that's too deep in that case. Regarding the shape, it's good to know that a V-neckline will always be suitable for highlighting your face if you have a few curves.

A Colourful Jumpsuit

To make the most of the sunny days and to showcase a style that reflects your personality and joy for life, why not choose a colourful jumpsuit? You can go for a solid colour if you're looking for a more classic haute-couture vibe, or opt for one with patterns if you want to break away from the ordinary and express your tastes! The options for prints are endless: floral, geometric, polka dots, stripes, animal prints… Pick the ones that make you feel your best!

A black jumpsuit

The black jumpsuit is a reliable choice, especially for those seeking a stylish, classic, and timeless look. Whether for a special occasion or for slightly cooler weather, this jumpsuit can be worn as is or enhanced with chic lace or tulle details.

Like all black clothing, it will visually soften your curves a bit, which can boost your confidence if you're not used to wearing this type of outfit. 😉

How to wear a jumpsuit when you're curvy?

Having a curvy physique doesn't mean you have to give up on fashion! A jumpsuit is an outfit that can flatter all women. In the following lines, I’ll share some ideas on how to make this trendy garment your own!

Choose Shades that Enhance Your Look

Often overlooked by the general public, colour theory plays a significant role in fashion. It’s the discipline that helps to define colours and, by extension, determine which ones flatter you the most. Since this is a one-piece outfit, choosing the right colour for your jumpsuit is crucial. Let’s explore together how to identify the colours that enhance your look:

🔸 You have golden blonde to light brown hair, and your fair skin tans a bit.

➡️ The colours that will complement you are shades of brown (beige, gold, camel, and curry), as well as pale green and soft pink.

🔸 Your skin doesn't tan and your hair is very light.

➡️ Embrace the pastel colours: soft pink, yellow, pale blue, and light green…

🔸 You have red hair or auburn highlights. You may or may not have freckles. You might also have golden-toned skin and warm brown hair, possibly with Mediterranean heritage.

➡️Warm tones are perfect for you: orange, camel, cognac, bronze… along with darker colours like burgundy and khaki.

🔸 Your skin is quite fair and doesn't tan much. You have dark brown or black hair, which may pick up a few highlights in summer. Your eyes are usually dark.

➡️ The various shades of blue (raw, dark, etc.) really enhance your look. This is also true for certain hues of red like coral and burgundy, as well as fuchsia pink and purple.

Wear Heels to Elongate Your Silhouette

A lovely pair of heels is perfect with a jumpsuit. They help to elongate your legs and instantly add a dressy touch to your outfit. This could include:

• wedged sandals or strappy ones that rise up your ankle, for a summery and bohemian look,
• colourful high heels, perfect for a party outfit,
• ankle boots to keep you warm when it's cold while adding style!

👉 You can choose shoes that match the colour of your jumpsuit, especially if it's black or white, to create a tone-on-tone effect. Otherwise, a lovely natural colour like brown, beige, or cream will be perfect to complement a colourful outfit!

Mix Up Your Accessories to Brighten Up Your Outfit

Perfect for creating a tailored look, the jumpsuit is a versatile piece of clothing that can suit many occasions, depending on how it's styled. So, be sure to choose your accessories carefully:

🔸 For a classy event, a clutch and a lovely fabric belt will be just right. Paired with a blazer, they will elevate your outfit!

🔸 For everyday wear, don't hesitate to choose a wide leather belt, which will accentuate your waist along with some lovely discreet jewellery.

🔸 To give your outfit a holiday vibe, you can go for a hat, a crossbody bag, and a denim jacket!
