Jumpsuits - There is a style out there for everyone!

May 11, 2021

 One of this season's MUST HAVE items!

Jumpsuits - what's not to like?! Comfortable, practical and most of all stylish, jumpsuits feature in some shape or form in just about every shop at the moment!  The best thing is that you don't need to be young, skinny, or tall to carry them off - you just need to find the right style for you.   So where to start with SO much choice?  Here are some style tips to help you out...   

The first thing to think about is your body shape. If you have straighter lines to your silhouette opt for a cotton, linen or denim fabric with a straighter cut to the fabric.  If you have curvier lines opt for a cotton mix, chiffons and jersey for a more floaty look to work with your curves.   


Then think about your body proportions - are you longer in the upper body or lower body? This will help you decide whether you should opt for a style with a waist belt, a hip belt or whether you are better without a belt at all.


Finallly, consider your shoulders.  If they are narrow opt for a style with capped sleeves to visually balance them with your hips.  If you have broad shoulders, avoid halter neck or off the shoulder styles. 

And let's not forget the resurgence of the good old dungarees!  I recently bought a pair and I can't help smiling when I wear them and walk with a spring in my step.  I think it's because I feel a little bit like a child again and that is just so much fun! 


If you feel you need some more confidence in your choice then have a look at my online Style Advice service and don't forget, I'm also offering Style parties now too, where you and some friends can discover your personal styles together!

Making Your Clothes Work Harder Between Summer and Autumn
By Jo Gaffney • June 29, 2026
Most of us have something we'd rather disguise. A tummy that's softer than it used to be. Thighs that touch. Arms we wish were firmer. But that shouldn't stop us styling it out at the beach or poolside.

The Cape Is Back (And It’s More Wearable Than Ever)
By Jo Gaffney • December 22, 2025
When it comes to refreshing your wardrobe, your first instinct might be to handle it all yourself. After all, who knows your clothes better than you? But here’s the truth: editing your wardrobe solo can be overwhelming, time-consuming, and — let's be honest — emotionally draining. That’s where working with a stylist can be a total game changer. We have been there too. As stylists ourselves we value the benefit of a second opinion when it comes to separating the emotion from the garment.
