The Jumpsuit: A woman's staple, any season, any age...

Whether it is casual, smart, dressy, a festival, a wedding or formal there you're likely to find a jumpsuit to fit the bill.

And if you thought that the jumpsuit was a trend strictly for those in their teens and twenties then you'd be wrong.

Though we have seen our fair share of flesh revealers this season, there are some thirty and forty-something-year-old celebs that are donning on the all-in-one, upstaging the newbies and showing us all how its done.

Everyone from Heidi Klum, Liv Tyler, Gwyneth Paltrow to Rose Byrne and Kim Kardashian have been spotted rocking their jumpsuit with a covered-up classic feel that makes them a great alternative for all you maturing fashionistas if you're on a night out with friends or have a date planned with your other half.

And just because we're leaving summer ladies, doesn't mean to say that the jumpsuit is going anywhere. With some elegant light layering and typical a/w colours there is no reason why your autumn/winter wardrobe cannot include a choice transseasonal piece or two.

CASUAL:

With plenty of cover-up this is a great casual outfir as we hit the autumn gloom. Find yourself some broagues for the flat look or some some ankle booties to tuck the bottoms into. Finish with a chunky cardigan and some statement gold jewellery. Available from Littlewoods for £65.

SMART:

This polka dot pretty is the idealmix between daytime class to night time chic. Not only is the design going to be a big contender in the a/w lookbooks but the crossover style at the bust and belted waist make this flattering for hiding any lumps and bumps we all like to try and hide.

Team with some pretty court shoes and perhaps a white blazer/shawl (great for the monochrome trend) and a statement clutch. Available from Oasis at Debenhams for £60.

 

DATE/EVENING WEAR:

Any sort of classy cocktail bar, drinks party or date was meant to be attended in something as elegant as this cowl neck grey jumpsuit from John Lewis for £28.50. No only does it have a gorgeous texture, but the shape is flattering for those with wider hips and bigger breasts. Find a cute, cropped blazer (perhaps in a bolder colour in a blue or pink to make it stand out) and some killer heels. Have the confidence to know you'll look sophisticated and sexy and let your confidence and some smokey eye shadow be your only accessories.

NIGHT OUT:

Being out on the town doesn't mean you have to be flaunting everything god gave you. There are some subtle ways that you can be alluring and demure without having to show too much flesh. Here we have quite a low cut jumpsuit (perfect for getting the right supported bra and lifting your posture) and quite a wide fit leg, similar to a palazzo in style.

The bling of the belt is a great place to start for matching shoes, bags and jewellery, but we recommend less to keep the classy appeal. Find some strappy heels, a cute shawl and loosely curl your hair for extra bounce and confidence.

Available from Debenhams £120
