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

Often showcased on slim models, jumpsuits can sometimes seem reserved for the body types we see on catwalks. However, that's not the case at all! Don’t let your curves hold you back from wearing a jumpsuit: in fact, this garment can accentuate them beautifully! Whether you have wide hips, a bit of a tummy, or a curvy physique, a well-fitted jumpsuit can quickly become your best friend! Indeed, it offers numerous benefits:

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

What might be the downsides of such an outfit?

The jumpsuit doesn’t really have any flaws, provided you choose the right one. That’s why I encourage you to find a style that flatters you and makes you feel comfortable. Sometimes, the ready-to-wear models can be too tight-fitting and unflattering.

To avoid any disappointment, I highly recommend choosing a swimsuit from a curvy or plus-size range. These designs are specifically tailored for individuals with fuller figures, ensuring they embrace and enhance your curves beautifully.

What Outfit to Choose if You Have Curves?

Are you on the hunt for the perfect jumpsuit? Here are a few 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

Jumpsuits are typically garments worn in summer or during the mid-season: they create a sense of lightness and comfort. To accentuate your curves and subtly highlight them, I recommend a loose-fitting style, which can be slightly nipped in 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, which means they are narrower at the end. It's best to avoid long sleeves as they may make your silhouette look a bit heavier.

👉 Finally, when choosing your swimsuit, pay particular attention to the neckline, especially if it’s something you plan to wear regularly for work and activities. In that case, avoid opting for a neckline that is too deep. Also, when it comes to the shape, know that a V-neck will always be flattering for your face if you have a few curves.

A Colourful Onesie

To make the most of the sunny days and showcase a style that reflects your personality and joy for life, why not go for a colourful jumpsuit? You can choose one that is plain, ideal for those seeking a more classic, high-fashion look, or one that is patterned to switch things up a bit and express your tastes! There are countless print options available: floral, geometric, polka dots, stripes, animal prints… Pick the ones that make you feel comfortable!

A black jumpsuit

The black jumpsuit is a classic choice, especially for those looking for a stylish, timeless, and enduring look. Whether it's for a special occasion or to wear when the weather gets a bit chillier, this jumpsuit can be worn on its own or dressed up with chic lace or tulle details.

Like all black clothing, it will visually smooth out some of your curves, 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 body 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 piece your own!

Choose shades that flatter you

Often overlooked by the general public, colour theory plays a significant role in fashion. It is the discipline that allows us to define colours and, consequently, determine which shades enhance your appearance. Since it's a one-piece outfit, choosing the right colour for your jumpsuit is crucial. Let’s explore together how to identify the colours that truly flatter you:

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

➡️ The colours that will enhance your look include brown shades (beige, gold, camel, curry), light green, and pale pink.

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

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

🔸 You're a redhead or have auburn highlights in your hair. You may or may not have freckles. You might also have golden skin and warm brown hair, possibly with Mediterranean roots.

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

🔸 Your skin is quite fair and doesn't tan much. You have dark brown or black hair, but it may get a few highlights during the summer. Your eyes are usually dark.

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

Wear Heels to Lengthen Your Silhouette

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

• of wedge sandals or strappy styles that climb up your ankle for a summery, bohemian look,
• of colourful heels to pair with a party outfit,
• of ankle boots to keep you warm when it’s chilly while still looking stylish!

👉 You can choose shoes that match the colour of your outfit, especially if it’s black or white, to create a nice tone-on-tone effect. Alternatively, a lovely natural colour like brown, beige, or cream would be perfect to go with a colourful garment!

Mix and Match Accessories to Brighten Up Your Outfit

Perfect for creating a chic look, the jumpsuit is a versatile piece of clothing that can suit many occasions, depending on how you style it. So, choose your accessories wisely:

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

🔸 For everyday wear, consider choosing a wide leather belt that highlights your waist paired with some lovely subtle jewellery.

🔸 To give your outfit a holiday vibe, why not try a hat, a crossbody bag, and a denim jacket!
