Get ready to see onesies in adult sizes this upcoming spring season. That’s right, the 70s & 80s fashion staple – the jumpsuit, is making a stylish comeback! The good news is that this time around the infamous line-backer-looking shoulder pads won’t be included.
Be on the lookout for jumpsuits in more refined silhouettes and flattering fabrics like cotton and jersey. Paired with sexy shoes and bold accessories could make this newly resurrected garment one of the chicest items in your closet.
Would you dare to wear a jumpsuit or are they just a bit too much of a trendy blast from the past for your taste?

it's a cute ready-made outfit but i have too much volume in my mid-section for it.
ReplyDeleteI dig. Looks very comfortable too!
ReplyDeleteI'm not a fan of these.
ReplyDeleteThe one from F21 is cute! Perfect, just perfect. thanks
ReplyDeleteI so wish I could wear these but they aren't too forgiving. You can't be too thin or too volumptous for them. Top heavy or bottom heavy? Not sure if it will work. So I will admire them from a far. Happy Tuesday, BGG!
ReplyDeleteBGG, would I wear one...I've been praying for the return of the catsuit. Yes, that's what we called them and I love them. Of course, you have to be careful when choosing one but if Weight Watchers works out, it's ON! In fact, this is motivation for me to stick to my 2 mile walk every day! I will be in a jump suit this spring!
ReplyDeleteDid these in the 70s. Please tell me you're just kidding, and they aren't really coming back???
ReplyDeleteLooks like I need to be visiting Express... I've ben looking for a pantsuit since last summer. They look almost as comfy as the maxi dress.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure if I'll be sporting one of these! Not a fan. It'll be my luck that I have to go the bathroom while out somewhere.
ReplyDeleteYou know, I would really have to see it on. I'm not working with much in the back and I don't know if it would hurt or help the situation. LOL!
ReplyDeleteMy faves are the theory jumpsuit and the one from Forever 21, though.
I'm not a fan, I don't think they'll be comfortable.
ReplyDeletei love jumpsuits. i wore them in 70s and 80s. i got some two summers ago from newport news catalog. i rocked them hard last summer and will rock them again. yeah for the jumpsuit.
ReplyDeleteI wore these in the 70's. The only thing I don't like about them is when it comes time to go to the ladies room. Everything has to come off. (lol)
ReplyDeletethey look cute, especially the ones from express and forever21...but i can't pull this look off. more power to those who can!
ReplyDeletei think this is cute if you have the right frame to rock it
ReplyDeleteI am loving the newport news one and forever 21 better do it ... even though it looks kinda cheap the style is cute
ReplyDeleteNot a big fan but I think non jersey fabrics might be more forgiving. love your blog as always!
ReplyDeleteThis look is so fetch!
ReplyDeleteI love the jumpsuits! Zara has some new ones in as well as forever21!
ReplyDeleteI would certainly rock a jumpsuit. I love the Ruched Wide Leg and the Signature Ponte Knit Belted jumpsuits. I could see myself looking too cute in those (plus they're afordable too)!
ReplyDeletei love that its one piece but those are just not flattering on anyone!
ReplyDeleteWow! jumpsuit jumps up again!
ReplyDeleteI love the Theory Tailor.
Tks!
The one from Bloomingdales is beautiful... but a bit on the pricey side. Also feeling the one from Forever 21... wish it had sleeves though.
ReplyDeleteI've always wondered (and this may be an ignorant question) but outside of a party or the club, where would one wear a jumpsuit?
Great post BGG!
I have to agree with some of the earlier responses they are cute but the gym must be your closest friend to really reap the benefit
ReplyDeleteI love the look, I bought the Forever 21 one a few weeks ago and switched out the cheap looking belt and cheap belt loops on the side. Its actually great quality and not as cheap as the picture. Looking for more and the Speigel one is next on my list thanks :)
ReplyDelete@ Everyone - Not sure if I'd ever wear a jumpsuit. I guess it all depends on the fit. I'm like Miss Mika, where do you wear these??? LOL
ReplyDeleteI could see wearing the one from Speigel w/a suit jacked to work. I could see the one from Newport News being worn to brunch or dinner, and maybe the one from Express on vacation or a walk by the lake.
ReplyDeleteThe material is pretty unforgiving (even slim women will need to break out the spanx). However, I have seem some made of more flowy material that does not cling as much, yet was very pretty...kind of a 'resort look'.
If I had the body type, I would totally wear a jumpsuit. Even one with cool pucci-esque, psychedelic print!!! I love blasts from the past but usually am not daring enough to try it out on myself... It's still fun to admire from afar though!

ReplyDeleteWhile wearing a jumpsuit may seem like a "no no" at the moment, I bet by later this spring I have them in an array of colors.
ReplyDeleteI purchased a 7FAM jumper a year ago. I love it! The only problem is that I lost weight and I can't fit it anymore. I'm trying to decide if I want mass alterations, or do I just want to give it away and find a suitable replacement
