Jumpsuit at work?

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 think jumpsuits are absolutely fine for work unless you're in a business casual role.
Not strappy top ones though. I don't think anyone should have armpits out at work.

The yumi one is totally inappropriate for work.

That 100% depends on where you work. It would be perfectly fine where I work (tv station, very casual)

There's no dress code at my work and the first one would be perfectly acceptable without anything underneath. People wear strappy tops and dresses with much thinner straps all the time. People wear bandeau tops and dresses.

If there is no stress code is absolutely fine.

Absolutely. I wear strapless tops and dresses at my job without it being a problem. Loads of guys are in shorts and flip flops (or trainers. but shorts are prevalent this time of year).

These jumpsuits would be absolutely fine at my job.

Personally think some of these are great for work

MrsJBaptiste · 30/06/2023 21:47

Absolutely 👍

My work is so casual so people are in hoodie, jeans and trainers in winter and strappy vest tops in summer. I'd definitely wear these jump suits and would be considered dressing up by other members of the team!

And we're customer (student/academic) facing too.

I've received the second Yumi one (non-strappy) and it fits really nicely!

I just wish I'd ordered in navy as in black it's almost too formal for my work! I was also planning to wear white trainers with it, is white trainers and black a big no-no?

How an earth do you manage when going to the toilet??

Runaround50 · 01/07/2023 12:45

Plus I work in a busy school and have roughly 20 seconds to go to the toilet. Couldn't imagine navigating myself through all that material in that time!

You undo maybe 4 buttons or a zip, pull it down, pee, pull it back up. It's really not difficult. Might add 3 seconds on either side.
Ex teacher here and I managed perfectly fine.

mellicauli · 04/07/2023 12:06

I wouldn't wear a strappy one to work. Too cold in the air conditioning.

BluebellBlueballs · 05/07/2023 15:41

Jumpsuit update! I bought the Next one I posted on page 1 of the thread it was about 4 inches too long so I had it shortened and I love it, it's perfect so worth paying for the alteration.

They do do a petite one but it bears no resemblance to thr same size in reg with the legs shortened, it's much tighter and shorter in the body.

I'm not really petite I just have short legs!
