I get so tickled when I get new clothing in the mail. And especially when it’s a comfortable outfit that I can grab out the closet and head right out the door! I received a very flattering v-neck black jumpsuit from one of my favorite brands called, Maggy London a few weeks back. They’re celebrating 45 years, congratulations to them! This short sleeve jumper has pockets too, that made it even more fun to wear lol! I had a presentation today, so I thought this would be the perfect look for my business meeting! Pair this look with pumps or sandals, it’s pretty versatile. The fabric is also scuba crepe with spandex.
Once I got it on, I realized I could have gone down a size (wearing size 12) but it’s still roomy enough. I like how it kept me cool all day because it gets pretty heated, here in the south! I thought to add ways in which you could style this jumpsuit up in an office environment below. Thanks to Maggy London for sending, I love it and it was a big hit at my afternoon meeting!
Styling a jumpsuit for work can be both fun and professional with the right approach. Here are some tips to help you achieve a polished look:
1. Choose the Right Fabric:
- Opt for Professional Materials: Look for jumpsuits made from materials like structured cotton, wool blends, or crepe. Avoid overly casual fabrics like jersey or denim.
2. Select a Flattering Fit:
- Tailoring is Key: Ensure the jumpsuit fits well at the shoulders and waist. A tailored jumpsuit will give you a more polished appearance.
- Consider a Belt: Adding a belt can define your waist and add a touch of sophistication.
3. Go for a Classic Cut:
- Stick to Classic Silhouettes: A straight-leg or tapered jumpsuit often looks more professional than wide-leg or overly trendy designs.
- Look for Structured Details: Jumpsuits with structured collars or lapels can enhance a formal look.
4. Accessorize Wisely:
- Keep Jewelry Minimal: Opt for simple, elegant pieces like stud earrings or a delicate necklace.
- Choose Professional Footwear: Closed-toe pumps, loafers, or sleek ankle boots can elevate the look. Avoid overly casual shoes like sneakers or sandals.
5. Layer Thoughtfully:
- Add a Blazer: A well-fitted blazer can instantly make a jumpsuit look more formal and office-ready.
- Consider a Cardigan: For a more relaxed but still professional look, a structured cardigan can work well.
6. Pay Attention to Details:
- Match Your Belt and Shoes: Coordinating these elements can create a cohesive, polished look.
- Ensure Proper Fit: Make sure the jumpsuit is not too tight or too loose. Tailoring may be necessary for the perfect fit.
7. Stick to Neutral or Classic Colors:
- Opt for Neutral Shades: Black, navy, gray, or earth tones are generally more professional and versatile.
- Avoid Loud Patterns: Stick with solid colors or subtle patterns to maintain a sophisticated look.
8. Grooming Matters:
- Keep Hair and Makeup Neat: Ensure that your hairstyle and makeup are professional and neat. A clean and polished appearance complements a well-styled jumpsuit.
By focusing on these elements, you can style a jumpsuit in a way that feels both fashionable and appropriate for a professional setting.
