For minimal effort and maximum effect we're turning to these super stylish jumpsuits
We’re waking up with a spring in our step because - at last! - putting together some new lewks is on the fashion agenda. Although if your styling skills are a little rusty after throwing on the same old loungewear day-in, day out, we’ve got you.
The quickest way to look pulled together is to slip into a jumpsuit. Call it a jumpsuit, a boilersuit, an all-in-one – there really is no quicker way to feel like you have your life together than throwing one on one of these one-piece wonders. Dresses are of course always an option, but for a more elevated, decidedly cooler style we’ll be turning to a stylish, well-cut jumpsuit. Add shoes, a bag and maybe some jewellery and you’re done without trying too hard or feeling weird in an overly styled outfit.
Jumpsuits have been the style set’s secret for several seasons because they manage to combine comfort (witness the joy of not having a waistband digging in) with insouciant ease. The coolest cuts come in relaxed oversized silhouettes and because of the jumpsuits utility influences most have pockets. Winner, winner. And if you’re still not sold? One more reason to love a jumpsuit is that they are the ultimate transitional piece to move into Spring.

If you’re going to splurge on a new purchase right now, it might as well be one that will take you through to the summer. The best jumpsuit styles come in fabrics that work across seasons and look just as good with a pair of boots as they do with sandals. If you opt to go for a sleeveless style, layer over a rollneck, or style a long sleeved jumpsuit with pushed up sleeves and a pair of Birkenstocks when temperatures finally rise.
One of the best jumpsuit options is a denim style; a seriously chic way to upgrade your WFH wardrobe, there are options aplenty – from this Frame style to this brilliantly affordable washed option from H&M.
If these are a little too much of a literal boilersuit style for you, a printed jumpsuit is probably the quickest sartorial mood booster you can find – throw on this floral print style from Zimmermann or this pink floral number from sustainable brand Omnes and you’ll find the lockdown gloom lifting. And your fashion mojo returning. Phew.
