10 best jumpsuits

Head into spring with style and try out an on-trend all-in-one

Monday 28 March 2016 12:36 BST

The rounded neckline and cinched waist of this New Look jumpsuit will flatter most

Jumpsuits might just be the ultimate transitional piece, especially for us Brits who endure the most temperamental of spring weather. They can be worn alone in warmer climates or layered with shirts or jumpers on those days that require a little extra insulation.

And, what’s more, they’re a real time saver. We’ve all experienced those mornings when you can’t decide what to wear (or when the idea of getting dressed at all seems near impossible). But with a readymade, all-in-one outfit at your disposal you’ll be able to languish in bed a little longer while later looking effortlessly put together.

Whether you’re after tailored workwear or a more hassle-free get up, we’ve scoured the high street to guarantee you nail jumpsuit dressing.

1. Grey flecked culotte jumpsuit: £29.99, New Look

This is one of the most versatile jumpsuits we’ve come across and a definite wardrobe staple. With a rounded neckline, cinched waist and cropped hem it guarantees to flatter most body types and will see you from the office to the bar. We’ll be teaming ours with a crisp white shirt and court heels.

2. Cold shoulder culotte jumpsuit: £55, River Island

This cropped length jumpsuit is a great way to try out this season’s trends. Both ruffles and cold shoulder silhouettes are set to dominate this spring/summer so it’s guaranteed to be a showstopper, while the deep V-neck coupled with a tie waist ensures a flattering fit.

3. Draped jumpsuit: £199, Jaeger

Soft to the touch with an elasticated waist, this Khaki jumpsuit from Jaeger is wonderfully comfortable. Pair with flats and a cross body bag for sophisticated ease or chic heels to take you from day to night. Also available in black.

4. Premium linen jumpsuit with peplum detail: £60, Asos

As we enter spring, the introduction of pastel pieces into our wardrobes is inevitable. Light pink with a peplum hem, it would be easy to assume this is one for the girlish – but the wide cut leg, contrast belt and linen mix fabric give this jumpsuit a more directional, androgynous edge.

5. Denim jumpsuit: £49.50, Marks and Spencer

For a head to toe statement look why not give denim a go. This jumpsuit is loose fitting and lightweight, meaning it earns points for comfort, while the drawstring waist and collared neck give it structure.

6. Pocket flowy jumpsuit: £39.99, Mango

It’s go bold or go home with this jumpsuit. Adding a shot of colour to your wardrobe is a sure fire way to banish any remnants of the winter blues and we’re loving this warm, earthy shade of ochre. Bright and breezy with a relaxed, comfy fit.

7. Kimono wrap jumpsuit: £49, Miss Selfridge

Wrap front garments can hide a multitude of sins and with the addition of three-quarter length kimono sleeves this long line jumpsuit is ideal for testing out the on-trend one-piece. It’s guaranteed to flatter with a V-neckline and tie waist, while promising high-impact glamour with the addition of sleek heels and a bold lip.

8. Lace Jumpsuit: £60, Next

This navy jumpsuit offers beautifully intricate lace top detailing in a nod to pyjama dressing – one of this season’s biggest trends. Although the idea of venturing out in your onesie might seem appealing we recommend you go for something with a touch of elegance. Sophisticated and wonderfully feminine, this is a definite eye catcher. Plus, it also comes in petite and tall.

9. Jumpsuit with a side fantasy print: £39.99, Zara

This is ideal for those who favour a little more structure to their outfits. The clear cut straps, elegantly tailored trousers and close-fitted waist make for a seamless design. In a sunny shade of tawny orange with a playful cut out detail on its side, this jumpsuit requires a plucky disposition.

10. Pinstripe D-ring jumpsuit: £49, Topshop

Revamp your work wardrobe with this pinstriped navy jumpsuit, which offers traditional tailoring with a contemporary edge. The D-ring detail at the sides cinches in the waist while the relaxed, wide leg fit adds an almost androgynous feel to the overall look. Pair with white trainers to give classic workwear a modern twist.

Verdict

New Look’s grey culotte jumpsuit is our pick of the lot. It’s by far the most versatile and can be worn day or night, with heels or flats and it’s really affordable. If you’re looking for something with a little more pizazz then we’d recommend Asos’ pink version, it’s perfect for spring and a guaranteed head turner.
