A really killer jumpsuit for my 40th

[donkra]

Turning 40 shortly and having a big birthday party. I want to wear a really sharp jumpsuit/outfit for my party. Would love some ideas to broaden it out for a killer party outfit for the occasion. Any suggestions?

General outlines: my style is more androgynous/structural/dramatic. I rarely wear dresses. Nothing "pretty"; I'm way more likely to wear a waistcoat and wide-legged trousers than a floral dress. My hair is currently like the attached picture, although NB that's NOT me; I have dark hair and eyes. I'm short (5'2"), and wear a size 8 overall. Good arms/abs/shoulders which I'm happy to show off. Budget... aaargh... let's say £250? Basically, I want to look eyecatching and dramatic and edgily stylish. So, you know, no pressure. :)

Karen Millen have got some nice ones, lots of different shapes and styles.

I like both of these too

So, hypothetically, how would we accessorize this one?

Simply! I like the way the model just has a silver bracelet, the jumpsuit is pretty wow itself. Although I'd go heels not flats.

Love these threads and when you click on a link it says ‘86 people viewed in last hour!’ And I think yep, I know why!

Ohhhhh man, someone posted this on another thread, and I would love it in jumpsuit form. I wonder if my seamstress could make it into a jumpsuit?

"Just wear it as a dress." I just wouldn't feel like myself in a dress.

That is, admittedly, really something 😁although I fear it might be a touch unforgiving on the lower body. (Legs not my best feature, they're toned but short, thick and muscular.)

If I could pull it off, I’d go for something really colourful like this. But I appreciate it wouldn’t be to everyone’s tastes.

This one! Tired n Tested has just worn the pink version for her husband's 40th this weekend

Hell Bunny and Joanie are my favourite for jumpsuits!

Loads of gorgeous ones on here:

My friend has a similar style and figure, she looks banging in them!

I dunno about the super wideleg ones. I feel like you're bound to trip when dancing. They are otherwise stunning though.

I love the shape of this one

This is just beautiful! Definitely a statement piece.

That is fab! Classy but quirky

If it's one shoulder you are keen one, here are some: -

Joanne clothing has some lovely ones.

I think this is the best one. It’s cool, sexy, edgy etc without looking overdone. I agree the simple accessories like on the model is best, but I’d pair with heels.
