Jumpsuit at work?

[Jumpsuitlove]

Does anymore wear jumpsuits for work?

I walk around London as part of my commute and don't think I've ever seen anyone wearing a jumpsuit. I'm tempted by this one: https://www.yumi.co.uk/yumi-navy-linen-button-through-jumpsuit-p12602/s69069?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_term=yumi-navy-linen-button-through-jumpsuit-colour-navy-size-12-colour-navy-size-12-ym2837b027-d&utm_campaign=product%2Blisting%2Bads&cid=GBP&glCurrency=GBP&glCountry=GB&gclid=Cj0KCQjwy9-kBhCHARIsAHpBjHgvU6c5jvRc7wMy3s3vlp_s-GQtKMmo44Hcydk8oiIcB30Z_SZcF0saAkuoEALw_wcB

Would it be weird?

I work in the city but for a tech company where anything goes, but definitely more on the casual side. Thoughts?

I work in London and wear one but not with straps but short sleeves as I am client facing. I always get compliments on them. If anything goes for your firm I would get the first one.

Thanks all, I think I'll stay away from the strappy one.

I'll pop to Next at lunch to try the black one on, fingers crossed it looks good and I can get this one instead of the £120 Baukjen one which I really really like the look of but can't justify!

A word of warning, the next one is very long on the leg. They do do a petite version but it is too short on the body!
I'm 5 ' 4 and have bought the regular version but it needs at least 3 inches off the legs which I will have done at the tailors as I'm not risking doing it myself.

So unless you are a very tall person, beware! It is a lovely jumpsuit in all other respects though

The Baukjen one is the only one that is actually made of linen.

The Yumi one is 100% viscose and the Next one is 80% viscose.

Ah that's good to know @BluebellBlueballs I'm 5'4 too. I don't think I can be bothered to have it taken up 🤔

I think a jumpsuit is fine but I would agree that if it is sleeveless a little close-fitting T shirt under it would be best. I used to have a little play suit in soft, drapey denim blue fabric with spaghetti straps and wore it to work with a hot pink T shirt (I’m not the kind of shape to go bra less!)

I wear jump suits for work a lot, you'd probably think it was a dress though if you weren't looking closely so maybe that's why you think you don't see them.

I think the first one is more suited to the beach than an office, due to the thin strap / shorter length combo. There's some lovely smart ones about though, just keep looking.

The first one would be fine for work where I am - not UK but also would have been perfectly ok in my UK job. I guess it depends what the standards are in your office.

I have this one (also available in navy) - it is so comfy

Ohhhh I love that first one! I've never bought from Yumi. Are they legit?

Only you are familiar with what's acceptable work attire in your office! Where I work (in Central London) is very much smart/casual - you wouldn't look out of place in a suit nor the Yumi jumpsuit, you could also wear jeans. I wear jumpsuits to work all the time, although as a rule I generally avoid anything strappy (for my own preference/comfort). I have some square neck jumpsuit with short sleeves which are cute and comfy. Matalan and Asda George both do very good and work friendly jumpsuits (friendly for where I work anyway!)

@Whataretheodds
I disagree. I was NOT talking about my work. What I wear at my job is irrelevant here. It is my opinion and mine alone, and I stand by it, that no matter how casual and relaxed the dress code at your work is, the first strappy one is inappropriate for work.

I wear them but they are tailored legs. Agree it’s the same as wearing a dress in my mind. I love them for ease in the mornings.

I have a wide legged one which seems a bit much for day time wear and I save it for nights out. Mine are oasis and Boden. The fancier one is H&M

I would have thought they were totally inappropriate. But as you say anything goes at your work so why not.

@BluebellBlueballs I think back zips are tricky but can be ok. The worst for me is the side zip.

Just returned a lovely one because side zips are impossible.

I love the first one but think it's too strappy for work. The second on OP listed is perfect. I like the Next one is great and I might order that today. Camilla and Sophie Wessex have both worn jumpsuits for royal engagements recently so think they are definitely fine in general for work.

I went to the tailors to get the Next one taken up. 4 inches and it's not like I'm ultra short to begin with. Who are they making these for? Wish they'd do a petite regular and tall but it seems regular and tall are one and the same.
It will cost £18 for the alterations but I loved it too much to return it.

I was going to get that Cos one in the black but decided it was too voluminous as I'm neither tall nor slim and didn't do much for me. Cos do another one in linen in beige or black https://www.cos.com/en_gbp/women/womenswear/dresses/jumpsuits/product.drawstring-waist-linen-jumpsuit-beige.1163369002.html that I fancy instead.

The first one is dungarees rather than jumpsuit .

Jumpsuits can be smart enough for workwear but I'd need to factor in 5 minutes extra for each toilet break

Appropriate at my work, I wear similar things all the time 🤷🏻‍♀️
IN YOUR OPINION it's not suitable work attire, which is fine because nobody is asking you to wear it.

I wear them all the time but for the strappy just stick a smart T-shirt under it. I got mine from George £15 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

Thank you @MyrtleSmurf. I'm allowed an opinion.

I do but we literally wear whatever we want as it's an arts organisation.

I loved my jumpsuits in the 1970s and 1980s. If my bum wasn't so big I would still wear them.
