Do
* Wear a jacket over it
Simple tricks can make all the difference. Just slipping a blazer over a jumpsuit takes away the scary element completely. When you wear it this way it's not really much different from wearing trousers and a fitted top.
* Belt it If you've got a great waist, flaunt it! A belt around your jumpsuit will give you a flattering hourglass shape.
* Glam up
Accessorise with a statement necklace or an oversized bangle to take it out of the office and into the wine bar.
* Wear with heels
For a sophisticated night out heels are a must - of course!

Don't
* Go utility
When it comes to jumpsuits, pockets and zips spell plumber - not a good look! I like a sleek shape with minimal detail for simple style.
* Wear with trainers

It is important to pick a jumpsuit that will flatter your size and shape. Halter neck or sleeveless styles suit pear shaped women as they draw attention to the upper half of the body. They should also avoid loose fitting bottoms as they can make your bum look bigger.
Those with an apple body shape should go for shorter women’s jumpsuits as they will bring more attention to your legs. Also, twin coloured styles where the top half is slightly darker than the bottom half will give a slimmer look. Stay away from large or horizontal prints.
Petite women should opt for longer length jumpsuits that, when paired with heels, will give the illusion of more height. Vertical stripes are also a great trick to give you more height.
For the plus size woman, consider darker rather than light colours and avoid horizontal stripes. Go for fabrics that won’t cling to your body – stay away from silk and fine nits and instead go for soft chiffons and cotton fabrics.
If you’re looking for a women’s jumpsuits for a formal occasion, it’s best to go for longer lengths, whether harem or loose flowing leg styles. Halter neck or off the shoulder designs are particularly stylish. Stand out by contrasting colours with a fashionable belt and bright clutch bag. Heels look great, but flats will keep all the attention on your jumpsuit.
For everyday wear, you can play around a bit more with your style. Choose from short, mid, or long length women’s jumpsuits, where styles come in anything from boho chic to casual denim, so take your pick. Pair with sandals or flip flops and a colourful handbag..
