I love getting new clothes in the mail, especially if they are comfortable enough to take out of the closet and go out right away. One of my favorite brands is Maggie London A few weeks ago. You’re celebrating your 45th anniversary, aren’t you? Congratulations! This short sleeve jumper also has pockets, which makes it even more fun to wear (lol)! I had a presentation today, so I thought it would be perfect for a business meeting! Pair it with pumps or sandals and it’s super versatile. The fabric is scuba crepe and spandex.
When I tried it on, I wish I had gone a size smaller (I wear a size 12), but it still has plenty of room. It gets pretty hot here in the South, so I love that it keeps me cool all day. I thought I’d add a note below on how to wear this jumpsuit in an office environment. Thanks to Maggy London for sending it to me; I love it and it was a big hit in my afternoon meetings.
Styling a jumpsuit for work can be fun and professional when approached right, so here are some tips to help you achieve a polished look.
1. Choose the right fabric:
- Choose professional materials: Look for jumpsuits made from materials like structured cotton, wool blends, and crepe. Avoid overly casual fabrics like jersey and denim.
2. Choose the fit that’s right for you:
- Tailoring is key: Make sure the jumpsuit fits snugly around the shoulders and waist. A tailored jumpsuit will give you a more polished look.
- Consider a belt: Adding a belt will accentuate your waistline and give you a sophisticated look.
3. Try a classic cut:
- Stick to classic silhouettes: Straight-leg or tapered jumpsuits often look more professional than wide-leg or overly trendy designs.
- Look for structured details: A jumpsuit with a structured collar or lapels can enhance the formal look.
4. Choose your accessories wisely:
- Keep jewelry to a minimum: Opt for simple yet elegant pieces like stud earrings and a delicate necklace.
- Choose professional shoes: Closed-toe pumps, loafers, or stylish ankle boots will elevate your look. Avoid shoes that are too casual, such as sneakers or sandals.
5. Layer with care:
- Add a blazer: A well-fitting blazer will instantly make your jumpsuit look more formal and office-ready.
- Consider the cardigan: If you want to look more relaxed yet professional, opt for a structured cardigan.
6. Pay attention to details:
- Matching belt and shoes: Coordinating these elements will help create a unified and sophisticated look.
- Ensure a proper fit: Make sure the jumpsuit isn’t too tight or too loose, as it may require some tailoring to get a perfect fit.
7. Stick to neutral or classic colors:
- Choose neutral shades: Generally, black, navy, grey or earth tones are more professional and versatile.
- Avoid large patterns: Stick to solid colors or subtle patterns to maintain a sophisticated look.
8. Appearance is important:
- Get your hair and makeup done: Keep your hair and makeup professional and neat: a clean, polished look will complement a well-styled jumpsuit.
By focusing on these elements, you can style a jumpsuit that is both fashionable and professional.
