The Christmas Jumpsuit

Having a party look alternative is always welcomed, particularly if it's a frosty night and you want those legs covered. Jumpsuits are a great option for this, however they can be hard to get right depending on your body length. If you have a long torso, like me, jumpsuits can cling heavily to certain areas of your body making it quite unflattering! I'm sure you girls know exactly what I mean.


When I found this recently in Primark, I thought I would have the same issues I usually do with jumpsuits, however it turned out that this loose lycra material made it more forgiving, creating a flattering appearance.

It's very much a relaxed fit jumpsuit which is what I liked. Its something that I can fold up easily and bring on a trip away also. There is a loose tie belt which leaves you to tie it as tight as you wish, so it helps to give more of a defined waistline as its more relaxed in other areas. It will hide tummy areas quite well and its comfort levels are so high you won't want to take it off!

The necklace is also part of this jumpsuit which can be detached if you'd prefer something simple or change it up with various accessories. For bigger busted girls this is definitely for you, it won't flatten your chest or feel tight and the delicate dipped V neckline will give more or a slimming effect to the chest area.
For accessories, a nice pop of colour is needed to break up so much black in the jumpsuit. As a necklace is already part of this piece something like a bracelet or cuff is perfect. Today I paired it with this statement cuff which is perfect to finish off the look. When it comes to shoes keep it very simple, like a court shoe to balance out your outfit.
