Women's jumpsuits on clearance

Palazzo, semi-wide legs or playsuit: reading the cut

The cut of the bottom defines the look of a jumpsuit. The palazzo style, like the Rinascimento Diana, with very wide legs that fall to the ground, creates a fluid line and elongates the silhouette. The semi-wide legs of the COMMA V-neckline model maintain this elegance more easily for everyday wear, without the risk of stepping on the hem. The short jumpsuit, or playsuit, stops mid-thigh and is perfect for daytime in nice weather. The top matters too: V-neck, thin straps, sleeveless like the Artlove Sylena, or short sleeves depending on the cover desired.

Defining the waist: belt, tie or elastic

A one-piece jumpsuit can quickly look shapeless if the waist isn't defined. The belt, like the bracelet buckle belt of the Only Asta or the belt from the Nife, defines the waist and adjusts to fit the body. Models with a tying link fit more freely, while an elasticated waist provides comfort throughout the day and compensates for size differences between the top and bottom of the body. On an hourglass figure, a thin belt accentuates the waist; on a straighter figure, a wide belt creates curves that the cut doesn't provide by itself.

Desigual, Derhy and the Danish school

Each brand in the selection has its signature style. Desigual, born in Barcelona in 1984, embraces bright prints and pattern combinations, like in the Hibrid or the Lauren. Derhy, a Parisian label launched by René and Yvette Derhy in the late sixties with fabrics imported from India, has kept a taste for embroidery and bohemian prints, which La Petite Étoile also shares. The Danish brands Ichi, KAFFE and b.young, gathered under the DK Company group, focus on simple cuts and easy-to-wear fabrics; Sofie Schnoor, also Danish, features more elaborate finishes.

Viscose, cotton or crepe: fabric and care

The fabric determines the drape and maintenance of a jumpsuit. Viscose, common in fluid models, drapes well and breathes easily in warm weather, but it shrinks if washed too hot: opt for a delicate cold cycle, inside out. Cotton and linen, being more structured, are suited for daytime jumpsuits and crumple more easily. Polyester crepe retains its shape and travels wrinkle-free. Drying on a hanger, with buttons fastened, prevents stretching of straps and the crotch area. A clearance item is a great opportunity to get a quality piece for the following summer.

Frequently asked questions

What jumpsuit to wear to a wedding?

A long, fluid jumpsuit, palazzo or with wide legs, in a solid colour or a discreet print, is suitable for ceremonies. A fabric that drapes well and a defined waist give it the dressed-up look expected at a wedding.

How to choose the size of a jumpsuit?

You need to check three measurements: bust, hips, and torso length, as a jumpsuit that is too short in the torso pulls at the crotch. Between two sizes, the larger one is usually more adjustable with a belt or tie.

Short or long jumpsuit for summer?

The playsuit, being cooler, is perfect for hot days and casual outfits. The long version in lightweight fabric protects from the sun and can transition from day to dinner without changing.

How to easily go to the toilet with a jumpsuit?

Models with straps, front buttoning or elasticated waists are the easiest to take off. A closure at the back, which is harder to reach alone, requires a bit more planning for an evening out.

Does a jumpsuit suit petite sizes?

Yes, as long as you choose a cut that elongates: V-neckline, defined waist, and legs that fall to the ground in palazzo style. Playsuits also work, avoiding lengths that cut across the leg at mid-calf.
