Why Wearing a Jumpsuit When You're Curvy is a Great Idea?

Often showcased on slender models, jumpsuits sometimes seem reserved for the body types typically seen on runways. However, that's not the case at all! Your curves should never stop you from wearing a jumpsuit: in fact, this garment can highlight 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 friend! Indeed, it offers numerous advantages:

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

What are the potential downsides of such an outfit?

The romper has no real faults, as long as you choose the right one. That’s why I encourage you to find a cut that flatters you and makes you feel comfortable. Sometimes, the styles available in stores 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 specifically designed for individuals with fuller figures and are made to fit and enhance your curves beautifully.

Which combination to choose when you're curvy?

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

Overalls are typically garments worn in summer or during the mid-season: they provide a sense of lightness and comfort. To showcase your curves and suggest them elegantly, I recommend opting for a loose-fitting design, which can be slightly tapered at the waist.

You can choose a very simple cut or a more detailed one: frills around the bust, for instance, are perfect for enhancing your décolletage. For the sleeves, you can opt for short ones or ¾ length, loose or balloon-shaped, which are narrower at the end. It's best to avoid long sleeves as they may make your silhouette appear bulkier.

👉 Lastly, when choosing your jumpsuit, pay special attention to your neckline, especially if it’s an outfit you plan to wear regularly for work and movement. In this case, avoid a neckline that is too deep. Also, regarding the shape, be aware that a V-neck is always a good option to enhance your face if you have a few curves.

A Colourful Jumpsuit

To make the most of the beautiful days and adopt a style that reflects your personality and zest for life, don’t hesitate to choose a vibrant jumpsuit! You can go for a solid colour if you're looking for a more classic high-fashion vibe, or opt for patterns to break away from the ordinary and express your style! The options for prints are endless: floral, geometric, polka dots, stripes, animal prints… Pick the ones that make you feel comfortable!

A black jumpsuit

The black jumpsuit is a timeless classic, especially for those seeking an elegant, stylish, and everlasting look. Whether for a special occasion or on a cooler day, this jumpsuit can be worn on its own or enhanced with chic lace or tulle details.

Like all black clothing, it will visually minimise your curves, which can boost your confidence if you're not used to wearing this style of clothing. 😉

How to Wear a Jumpsuit When You're Curvy?

Having a curvy figure 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 for making this trendy piece your own!

Choose shades that enhance your look

Often overlooked by the general public, colorimetry plays a significant role in fashion. It is the discipline that helps identify colours, and by extension, determines which ones enhance your appearance. Since it's an all-in-one outfit, choosing the right colour for your jumpsuit is crucial. Let’s explore together how to identify the colours that flatter you:

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

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

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

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

🔸 You have red or auburn highlights in your hair. You may or may not have freckles. You could 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, but it might pick up some highlights in summer. Your eyes are usually dark.

➡️ The various shades of blue (raw, dark, etc.) highlight your features. This is also true for certain shades of red such as coral and burgundy, as well as fuchsia and purple.

Wear heels to elongate your silhouette

A lovely pair of heels is perfect with a jumpsuit. It helps to elongate your legs and immediately adds a dressed-up touch to your outfit. This could include:

• of wedge sandals or strappy sandals that wrap around your ankle, for a summery and bohemian look,
• of colourful heels, to match with a party outfit,
• of ankle boots to keep warm when it's cold and give you a stylish edge!

👉 You could choose shoes that match the colour of your outfit, especially if it’s black or white, to create a tonal effect. Otherwise, a lovely natural colour like brown, beige, or off-white would be perfect to complement a brightly coloured garment!

Vary Your Accessories to Brighten Up Your Outfit

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

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

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

🔸 To give your outfit a holiday vibe, you can dare to wear a hat, a crossbody bag, and a denim jacket!
