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!

The short answer? Yes! But wait for it, there’s more to it than that! Shopping sustainably requires you to buy only things you know you will wear so let’s make sure you find the right yellow for you. Buying the wrong tone might leave you looking a tad under the weather and less likely to wear your new purchase again and again.

Now that the decorations are back in the loft (?), there is no better time for a fresh start, a declutter (or I prefer to use the word 'edit') - it's time to take back control. Of course, this will mean different things for different people. It might be eating more healthily, drinking less alcohol, sorting the finances, organising your wardrobe or clearing out the kitchen cupboards. For me, it's about re-evaluating my priorities in business and ensuring I am working as effectively as possible (oh and all of the above too of course!) .

Doing my own colours.... 'Having your colours done' is not a phrase which means something to everyone. And the 'seasonal system' can appear misleading... people often think if they are a 'Winter' this has a reflection on their character (cold or dark!). So let me enlighten you a little...
