Maxi Midi Mini - jumpsuits

You'll get a lot of these in the fashion mags over the next few months. Thankfully I have a few pairs to see me through. On my UK style tour last summer I appeared in many a city telling all and sundry of the power of the jumpsuit, mainly to me by blank faces. I feel that this year they will have shifted and be embracing the love of the jumpsuit.

I wouldn't say no to the Max Mara orange jumpsuit all over the press at the moment. It's rrp is £445.


The forthcoming retailers to look out for the mid priced range are Isabella Oliver 365 - I know they have a lovely jumpsuit coming! But if you fancy being a Studio 54 junkie all day everyday then go for this satin number from French Connection for £125 - it will release your inner Bianca Jagger.


Finally in the mini section ASOS will deliver lots of variety at bargain prices as the season continues. Currently the best of the bunch is this pretty halter neck one from Lipsy at £62

    I love a jumpsuit, but I have never tried a wide leg one might have to have look!

    One of my new season mantras: What Would Bianca Do? Love this!

    As always I prefer the most expensive one, it's just fabulous.
    Is it just me or is that Lipsy one way too short? xxx

    Vix - I think they might be regular on a longer legged model! They should have been put with flats xx

    I have a jumpsuit that's rather cool, except it's WAY too long and I still haven't found the time to take it up a few inches. The orange one is amazing.

    Fabulous, but not for me. How on earth does one pee in those? I have nightmares about lowering all of one's wardrobe in a public convenience...

    Dear Kate, I love jumpsuits. I have all sorts of styles. Nothing like the MaxMara one - I love it! I'm really into orange too. The French Connection one is lovely but their stuff never quite fits me right xx

    I love jumpsuits. They are so flattering for my figure. I have them even if they are not fashionable. Currently I have two. A cotton black one from French Connection with peg legs and a purple silk one by Diesel with wide legs. That orange one looks fantastic.

    I rather like that Lipsy one. It definitely wouldn't be too long on me either!

    I love the French Connection jumpsuits - tried on a bunch at Macy's Herald Square last season and they fit great.

    Oh I've been looking for a jumpsuit for some time ago, now I found it (here in Toronto), that I hope will be a valuable piece to my wardrobe.
