Do jumpsuits suit anyone?

[ToadRage]

This has been playing on my mind since my husband said that jumpsuits don't suit anyone. A friend of mine told me the opposite that jumpsuits suit everyone so thought I would have it a go and I now have two. I don't wear them often and he didn't comment when I did wear them on holiday but I have been reluctant to wear them even more since he said this even though it wasn't really directed at me personally. What do you all think?

I think you would look beautiful in a jumpsuit, but not the one you are wearing in that photo. It's not you, it's the shape of the neckline and the way it cuts in half at the middle. Here's one I think you would look fabulous in: Yumi Black Geometric Print Wrap Jumpsuit - 16 | Matalan

I don’t get it either, wear a co ord, has the same visual effect. Without the negatives.

occassionaly I see one and think oh that is nice, but then I remind myself they always look shite on, and are very difficult to wear and I am actually tall and slim.

plus you get much more use out of a co ord as you can mix and match.

I really suit a jumpsuit but for my shape (petite, short waisted) it needs to be very specific style that has a bit of volume up top to over emphasise my not hourglass shape.

the phase eight burgundy number would be perfect the leaf print one dreadful.

Most people look awful in them and are deluded. Obviously everyone else is too polite to comment.

A jumpsuit is just like a dress though, of course they don’t look bad on everyone. There are so many styles, lengths and cuts of jumpsuit.
I imagine it was a tactful way of making you feel better about this jumpsuit, ‘oh they never make anyone look good!’
But of course it’s not true.

I think it is more he was gently and politely telling her it doesn’t work for her.

im sure the op looks great in many outfits but thay jumpsuit is not one of them.

I used to wear them and look fabulous in them in the early 80s. Now, not so much so I don't go near them.

I hope they suit me ... I've bought a few!

Im 4'10 and get jumpsuit envy because I see others looking great in them and have only ever found one that fitted (it was a kids one!)

I think they suit me, slim / short. I do think they suit many people, unfortunately that one in your pic doesn't really do you any favours - I think you could find a better one if you like them!

I’ve got an expensive black short sleeve jumpsuit that I never wear. No idea why. It’s slimming. I also have somewhere (in attic I think) a Top Shop leaf print strappy jumpsuit that I wore a lot when I bought it. But they’re not my favourite type of clothes to wear I have to be honest.

I’m 5 ft 5, size 14 but long body and long legs.

I love them and I have loads. Especially in the summer. I have casual and smart ones.I don't do the boilersuit look though!

I have this one in a petite size 10. I get so many compliments. And it is dead easy to get on/off.

I have an wide leg wrap top one which I look great in. I'm a petite, size 16 hourglass and it cinches me in at the waist, broadens my top to balance my hips and I never fail to get compliments when I wear it.
