Perfect for every season and every occasion, the jumpsuit is your new wardrobe staple. As summer approaches it will be the perfect piece to transition from a warm day to a cool night.

The jumpsuit has a moment every year and it’s a piece that is always in fashion – making it a must-have for every closet. This summer we take inspiration from every era; from flared bottoms reminiscent of the 70s to all-over denim as a flashback to 90s grunge. There are so many designs to choose from and although it’s a statement piece and takes up the entirety of your outfit, accessories including jewellery and shoes can completely change up the look and make it your own.

The jumpsuit is one of the easiest pieces of clothing to dress and most shapes go with everything, whether you want to pair it with flats, trainers, heels or boots there will be a jumpsuit for that. Perhaps you are attending a summer BBQ? Add a denim jacket and sandals. A friend’s big birthday? Pick a block colour and add metallic heels and a clutch. An outside gig? A leather jacket and ankle boots will keep you warm and comfortable whilst making sure you’re ahead of the fashion pack.

You can even take inspiration from your ultimate fashion icon as every celebrity out there is jumping on this jumpsuit bandwagon and showing how to work the ultimate summer trend.

Keep it neutral, cool and chic just like Khloé Kardashian. She was stunning in a nude bandeau number and matching heels as she hit the streets with her sisters. Add some sex appeal by flashing some flesh with mesh like Nicole Richie did, or add some quirk with a funky pattern like Vanessa White. Whether you decide to be brave and bold in colour like Nina Dobrev or rock a laidback cool acid wash denim style like Rachel Zoe, be sure to invest in a jumpsuit you love – it seems this particular trend is here to stay.
