Love them or hate them, jumpsuits have entered the mainstream. But do you know the right shoes to wear with a jumpsuit?
Whether you are dressing to impress at a fancy wedding, or nailing the smart casual look at the office, it is crucial that you choose the right footwear. So read on for our guide to jumpsuits and shoes.
With work clothes…If you are wearing a jumpsuit to work, it’s probably going to be either tailored and chic, or loose and modern.
Tailored jumpsuits look great with simple court shoes or stilettos. For wide-leg jumpsuits, block heels work best. Alternatively, hide a comfy flat shoe underneath a swishy hem a la Sam Taylor-Johnson.
At a wedding…A jumpsuit is a great choice for a wedding. It’s different enough to stand out from the sea of floral dresses, but smart enough to suit the most formal dress code.
At a summer wedding, show off your pedi in the most OTT strappy sandals you can find. And in winter, go for sparkly, embellished or quirky heels that will help you light up the dancefloor.
At the bar…There is an endless selection of club-ready jumpsuits on the high street at the moment. Think jumpsuits with ruffles, Bardot necklines, lace inserts, and sheer panelling – sometimes all at once! A loud jumpsuit needs minimal accessories. Invest in a pair of nude or black heels that you know you can walk in.
At the park…It’s easy to dress up a jumpsuit, but not so easy to dress them down. However, the rising popularity of dungarees and pinafore trousers has made it more acceptable than ever to rock a jumpsuit at the park (or on the school run, or wherever you usually wear joggers or jeans!).
Choose a relaxed fit and pair with statement sneakers such as Adidas Superstar or Converse.
