Jumpsuits Second Hand

Jump up!

Although jumpsuits have been seen on high-end fashion catwalks since the 1980s, this practical and fashionable item of clothing has recently made a comeback. Even Elvis Presley and Bruce Lee were seen sporting jumpsuits. Celebrities, trendsetters and fashionistas alike are all seen on the red carpet in jumpsuits as they have become a stylish alternative to designer dresses or trouser suits and are once again taking over the fashion world.

Originally designed as a practical one-piece for parachute jumpers, jumpsuits are ideal for physical activity as they are so comfortable. Fashion designers have recognised the fashionable potential of these onesies and have included them in their collections. The sporty aspect of the jumpsuit has not been completely lost, but in the world of fashion it has definitely become a statement. Choose from many different models to suit your style and your mood and you’re bound to turn heads.

For a summery look there are short jumpsuits also known as playsuits that really show off your legs and are perfect for beach holidays. Long one-pieces with belts or ruffles at the waist flatten the feminine figure and can easily be worn for business or leisure. Spaghetti-strap jumpsuits combined with high-heeled court shoes and a Louis Vuitton handbag are particularly chic and sassy and are guaranteed to make sure all eyes are on you. Combine with a short, sexy jacket for cool evenings and you’re ready to hit the club! Jumpsuits can also be worn to the office – long-sleeved, shirt-blouse styles look casual and elegant and are a real alternative to stuffy suits.

The advantage of jumpsuits is that they suit almost all figures – petite women can elongate themselves in a long, tight jumpsuit and a pair of high heels while accentuating the waist with a belt shows off other women’s feminine curves. Furthermore, gently flowing fabric can be used to conceal any problem areas. No matter what style you choose, a jumpsuit can be a sophisticated way to show off your unique sense of style.
