Fashion is a capricious and changeable phenomenon, like spring weather. Some of her trends come literally for one season, and in the next they become irrelevant. But there are some things that last a long time and become classics.
Women's overalls, which at first served only as clothing for sports and leisure activities, became so beloved by fashionistas that they began to use them for all occasions. The transformation of an everyday item into an elegant and stylish garment allowed it to be included in the basis of a classic look.
Jumpsuit and classic: elegant and feminine
Jumpsuits have recently taken their place in the wardrobe of fashionistas, but have already firmly become an indispensable part of it. The variety of models: from practical denim, comfortable knitted, playful silk, to classic office, has made it one of the most popular solutions for a fashionable look.
It is impossible not to emphasize the obvious advantages of choosing a jumpsuit as the center of an ensemble:
- Combining comfortable trousers and a blouse in one piece of clothing. Comfort and practicality when worn, unlike individual elements of the suit: nothing needs to be tucked in or adjusted.
- Possibility of visual figure correction. Vertical cut lines make the girl taller and slimmer, and additional details, such as peplum, pleats, and flared legs, hide excessively full hips and legs.
- A combination of the comfort of trousers and the femininity of a dress in one wardrobe item.
Evening outing in overalls
A woman’s desire to look spectacular and extraordinary has turned a bodice combined with long trousers into one of the interesting options for the evening. This feminine and elegant alternative to a floor-length dress is suitable for both a theater premiere and a social event. It's all in the details.
Many people wonder: what to wear with a classic jumpsuit?
Shoes and accessories for a spectacular look
For an evening out, classic nude stiletto heels can be the perfect complement to a jumpsuit. This model will suit any color of clothing. Low, elegant boots that fit the foot with a narrowed toe and heel would also be good.
REFERENCE: Accessories – clutch, scarf and jewelry do not have to match the overalls or shoes.
Choosing them to match the color is yesterday. Today, stylists welcome the play of colors and contrasts in the ensemble.
Heeled shoes are also optional. A tall girl will look stylish wearing a classic jumpsuit with ballet flats.
What is inappropriate for an evening outfit are boots, over the knee boots, sandals and massive platform shoes; they are best left for going out during the day.
Women's overalls for the office, what to combine with
In a classic design: sleeveless, black or beige, the combined item can be included among the basic elements for creating an office wardrobe. Having in addition several different blouses, turtlenecks and jackets, scarves and belts, it is not difficult to create a new original look every day.
Such sets will appeal to active girls who are on the move at work - traveling or moving around the offices of an office building. Clothing will not restrict movement; it is much more practical than a skirt, trouser suit or dress.
The main requirements for an office-style jumpsuit:
- The length is no higher than the middle of the knee (a short thing in the office will look vulgar).
- Plain or with a classic pattern (stripe, check, “chicken foot”) colors.
- Classic silhouette (not tight or too voluminous).
- Fabrics suitable for office wear: fine wool, cotton, viscose, boucle, microcorduroy.
ATTENTION: Jumpsuits made of silk, satin, velvet, sequins and lurex are unacceptable in the office.
You can complement your outfit by choosing a classic shoe option - shoes or low shoes with stable heels with a rounded or pointed toe. For those for whom comfort at work is paramount, ballet flats or loafers are suitable.
Jumpsuit instead of a cocktail dress
Finally, for the little black dress, suitable “for both the feast and the world,” a worthy replacement has appeared: a classic jumpsuit.
The elegant ensemble will attract attention and will be appropriate for the opening of an exhibition, a daytime official reception or a celebration. The classic length to the middle of the knee or “three quarters” will allow it to become an excellent alternative to a cocktail dress.
Shoes for such a set of clothes should be selected depending on the place and situation.The best option would be shoes or sandals with an open toe or heel, with heels.
What's incompatible with a classic jumpsuit?
A classic jumpsuit is such a universal thing that it is almost impossible to prohibit anything to wear with it. By combining “incompatible” things you can sometimes get an unexpected, extraordinary, but very attractive result.
Even bright lemon sandals with feathers can be worn with burgundy classics, if the situation allows it. By adding a mono-earring with a feather and a bright clutch, neckerchief or bracelet of contrasting color, you can become the “star” of a corporate party. Of course, in a business set this combination will look ridiculous.
IMPORTANT: A classic jumpsuit should be worn not with what is fashionable, but with what suits and pleases you, matches your inner feelings and is appropriate in the current moment and place.
