Late to the jumpsuit game

Just that really. Help me find one! I'm a jumpsuit newbie so think I'd best go dark. I'm a size 12 (sometimes a 10), long legged but also long bodied, which is why I think I've never gone for one - I've worried they'd be uncomfortable and catch in an awkward spot!
So are there any rock solid recommendations please?

How much are you looking to spend, OP?
I've heard great things about 'Rock the Jumpsuit' but they're out of my budget, I admire them from afar. All around a couple of hundred quid, but I think their sizing is quite made to measure and specific, so you'd probably get a great fit.

Is the jumpsuit for everyday casual wear, or an occasion?

foodiscomplicated · 22/11/2021 18:47

Just fir dinner out with friends in the winter, or Xmas. I suppose I'd spend up to £150 fir something that fits well (and is machine washable)

Make sure you can move in it sit down, bend over etc.

If you fancy a bit of sparkle, I love this, which somebody posted the other day on another thread. I wish I could justify buying it but I have a grand total of zero dressy occasions coming up.

Bit out of your budget but there might be a black Friday deal

They also did this in a gorgeous green

@WildStallyn ouch that link to phase 8 just cost me. I've bought the sparkly jump suit. Then you need the velvet Cape to keep you warm!!! I need to find something new on TV to stop me shopping!

Love this khaki hush one and is definitely versatile. I think it needs animal print shoes (there are some in phase 8! Grin )

That Ghost one is so beautiful! Perhaps it’s just as well it’s not available in my size, the colour wouldn’t suit me, and it’s £195. If the green one had been there i might not have been able to stop myself.

Also in sage but this seems to be a euro version of the outnet

MaryLennoxsScowl · 23/11/2021 12:27

Ooh! I wish I were a size 6, but sadly not. I like the sage one too though! Thanks @nanbread

I hate to put a downer on a great jumpsuit celebration, but when you are out and about, they can be freezing when you go for a wee!

Buildingthefuture · 23/11/2021 12:52

I LOVE a jumpsuit, but, like you I am long in the body and most of them give me a wedgie Blush so I obviously cant wear them! I have had some good ones from Onjenu though.....

Was about to say this! Jumpsuits are much better in the summer!!!!

I have a couple from the Tall range at Next. Love them

Wildlynx · 23/11/2021 13:00

I impulse bought this Sweaty Betty one at a warehouse sale as was a complete bargain. Wasn't sure if I'd ever wear a jumpsuit but I love it! I'm also long bodied. Athleisure style but think it can be dressed up or down a bit. www.sweatybetty.com/shop/bottoms/dresses-and-jumpsuits/explorer-jumpsuit-SB6824_Black.html?cgid=dresses-jumpsuits&dwvar_SB6824__Black_color=black&dwvar_SB6824__Black_leg-length=fulllength&tile=13.0#start=13

Hi all. Thank you for all your suggestions. I have gone for a Gary jumpsuit from Sweaty Betty. I know that makes it a bit casual but I know my SB size - it's always bang on Medium, and I suspect it will give me lots of stretch. Maybe it'll test up
With heels and jewellery.
