It's inevitable – you're going to need a jumpsuit come spring. But it's not all bad.
Nearly every designer had their own version on the catwalk, which is great for you because the options are limitless. So start braving the racks in search of the one that will "suit" you. Here are a few tips for body types/style preferences and some of our StyleList favs to get you going.
Body Types
Petite: You don't want a jumpsuit that swallows you whole. Instead, opt for one of the more tailored looks like those shown at BCBG Max Azria. You could even go totally crazy in a tight McQueen-esque unitard that screams Studio 54.
Pear: Marc Jacobs showed some incredibly fun jumpsuits that are perfect for pears. The more fitted top half shows off your slim middle while the fuller, harem-style bottom camouflages hips. Or try one of the more sultry, one shouldered versions that Derek Lam showed to pull the eye to your top half.
Top heavy: Stay away from jumpsuits with incredibly low V-necks and opt for ones that have a fitted shell instead. You'll also want to veer away from belts and stick with sophisticated silhouettes in sleek colors like gunmetal or black. Check out some of the looks at Lacoste and Tibi for inspiration.
Boyish: Your slim figure could use a womanly curve or two so all of the belted-at-the-waist options, like BCBG and DVF, are just for you. Showcase your killer bod with a deep v-neck too or add some oomph up top with a ruffled version like Lanvin's.
Tall: For tall ladies, we like the floaty, wide-legged jumpsuits like those at Donna Karan and Jasmine di Milo. Most other body types would swim in these, but not you! Shorts jumpsuits will also let your long legs shine.
