L-R:Heidi Klum looking great; short jumpsuits

Have you ever put on something and felt very comfortable in it to an extent of wanting to sleep in it?

Yes, apart from the maxi dresses that I so much adore, the next big thing for me is a jumpsuit! Jumpsuits are back in action just in case you didn’t know. These super trendy pieces are not only sexy but are also very versatile.

I remember when growing up in the late seventies and early eighties when jumpsuits were very hot and stylish.

We also were not left behind in the jumpsuit craze; in fact I have a picture of my sisters and me in jumpsuits when we were little girls.

Our uncle had brought them for us all the way from the United States where he still lives.

Jumpsuits for women are great because they are very comfortable and they look great when well accessorized. They are not only comfortable, but are also sturdy and dazzling. The different fabrics that they are made from along with the craftsmanship are amazing.

The best thing about jumpsuits also is that they can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion. In fact Heidi Klum was spotted in a white jumpsuit and every body went gaga over it, but no sooner had the news settled than we saw it again, this time gracing the catwalk with the famous designers trying to outdo each other on even better designs.

The trend can also easily translate in all seasons, from loose and flowy jumpsuits for summer to tailored evening jumpsuits for chilly evenings. The look is also quite convenient and easy to wear.

Jumpsuits can also be customized according to how one needs it. For the more casual look, the likes of Kim Kardashian are gracing the streets in strapless jumpsuits.

While the likes of Gwneth Paltrow and Rihanna wore their jumpsuits in a classic style for the red carpet.

While a lot of you might feel the jumpsuit is not appropriate for your figure but you still want to wear it then not to worry as there are lots of varieties to choose from.

This piece has had quite the fashion makeover from its origins in the seventies and eighties. All you need to do is figure out your look even with the help of a designer and you’ll be all set to go.

Jumpsuits can be worn in all styles and lengths according to one’s taste. We have seen short jumpsuits which are good during the hot season. These short jumpsuits are good for evening walks or when on the beach as it provides the comfort one needs on a hot afternoon.

The trouser version of jumpsuit is even better because it can be a piece to wear for both formal and informal occasions. For formal occasion they can be paired with a long sleeved jacket and a heavy neck piece.

Dangling earrings and huge bangles together with peep toe stilettos can finish off the look when attending a formal cocktail party or dinner. When it is a casual soiree a short sleeved or strapless jumpsuit looks divine.

Flat gladiators, big sunglasses if it is a hot afternoon, one huge neckpiece can do the trick, because when wearing jumpsuits less is more. Be a fashion icon and try out the jumpsuit.
