Gigi Hadid can pull up just about anything and this slouchy jumpsuit is no different.
I don't know about you, but I'm not sure that Britain is going to get the summer we'd hoped for. Call me pessimistic but it's becoming a bit of a rollercoaster trying to keep up with the forecast. Most of the time my morning routine consist of staring at my wardrobe whilst glancing down at the weather app on my phone, trying to work out what will work from now until the evening without getting caught in the rain or chill. Come to think of it, a lot of my mornings year round are spent staring at my wardrobe and the pile of clothes (I may as well be honest) regardless. But, I've finally come to the conclusion that the all-in-one/jumpsuit/overall/one-piece (versatile by name and versatile by nature) is here to save the day.
Why? Well, I just love how much you can do with a jumpsuit. Wear it open with a tee or cami underneath. Why not roll the sleeves up for a more relaxed approach? Or perhaps even channel your local mechanic, undo the top half and tie it around your waist. The world is your oyster and the time it takes you to decide and get dressed *should* decrease now that you've got the top and bottom half covered.
With colourful trainers and accessories, Monikh leads the way to Autumn dressing.
Charlotte wears a fun star print jumpsuit with a gorgeous open-back detail.
In fact, the jumpsuit is the all-occasions component for everyone. It can be worn to a wedding, the pub, around the house, your mate's baby shower, your mate's date as a chaperone (true story), the list is endless. There are so many styles to choose from and choosing a linen for summer and a wool for winter helps you go the distance. Plus, you can just throw on a jumper or leather jackets on over the top of your style of choice when weather gets cooler. Easy!

THE BEST KHAKI JUMPSUITS:
Nailing that utility trend with a soft organic cotton in a washed out khaki shade.
There are a lot of workwear-inspired jumpsuits out there and this one is one of my favourites. The rich tone of this suit begs for leather accessories and I love the ankle and waist cinching ties.
The hardware on this jumpsuit is just right and nicely spaced and the cropped length is perfect for what we still have left of summer.
Ok, so this suit could also tie into an evening piece with the right accessories - all thanks to the balloon sleeves, wide leg and rich jewel tone of the fabric.

Great with a tee or shirt layered underneath, this FRAME jumpsuit calls out to the 70's shapes with the collar, nipped in waist and flared legs.

This jumpsuit is incredibly smart and convincing of a two-piece with the ease of a one. I picture myself in an Italian village wearing this. Or a pub is East London, it works with anything.
