Instant Outfit: The Jumpsuit

Take this season’s breakthrough trouser shape – wide-legged and cropped – combine it with an all-in-one, and what do you get? Well, a culotte jumpsuit, of course! AKA? One of the most versatile in-between season pieces that will take you from day all the way through to night.

While they may not seem particularly easy to come by, look carefully and we have no doubt you’ll come across several hidden gems. But if time’s of the essence and you’re after a quick solution, luckily for you we’ve found just the piece that exudes both timelessness and plenty of contemporary appeal.

What we love about this sleek black crepe jumpsuit from Moschino Cheap & Chic is its understated simplicity and fluid, semi-structured silhouette, which makes it the perfect pairing to low-key pool slides for day, as well as elegant stiletto sandals for when the sun goes down. For now though, we’re making it our cocktail hour go-to (seeing as there’s a few more of those swanky soirees coming up now that the sun’s firmly got his hat on).

Play on the eighties vibe of the jumpsuit by belting in the waist with Moschino‘s gold-tone logo and chain embellished belt. Then add a lively punch of colour – and a bit of va va voom – via Aquazzura‘s cut-out sandals, rendered in the softest scarlet cashmere suede.

Opt for a snakeskin effect box clutch – this one from Mango boasts a shoulder chain matching that on the belt – and a bold, gold-tone cuff, further pushing those retro-kitsch boundaries to maximum effect. Lastly, add a vampy red pout and a slick centre-parted bun for an ultra elegant outcome with an edge. Now, where‘s that glass of champagne?
