Jumpsuits are one of those trends that I never thought I could personally pull off. I’ve tried them on in the past but always felt like I was wearing some kind of costume instead of an outfit I could confidently walk around in. Recently, that all changed. I think the mental shift happened because of all of the cool looks I’ve been spotting on the fashion set. With fresh approaches to styling that incorporate pieces like chunky boots and animal-print heels, the outfits just look so chic.
My obsession with jumpsuits can also be attributed to the new styles we’re seeing in the market right now. Instead of the tight silhouettes that were popular in past seasons, we’re now seeing utility jumpsuits with wide legs and long sleeves that are finished with details like cargo pockets and belted waists. These pieces fit into the larger movement towards relaxed tailoring that has been popularized this year. Ahead, see how 10 jumpsuit outfit ideas to try out, starting with a few of my own.

While I normally wouldn’t think to pair a jumpsuit with heels, I adopted this styling trick after seeing it on the street style scene. I think it instantly adds a more polished element to the look.

Similar to adding a pair of heels, a polished bag is another way to dress up a jumpsuit. I love the contrast of the utility piece with this classic bag.

Pictured: Frankie Shop Double-Breasted Gabardine Jumpsuit ($295); H&M boots; Chanel bag. Another great styling trick? Tucking the legs of the jumpsuit into a pair of knee-high boots. We saw this trend pop up last year with trousers, but this is another cool iteration of it.
