As the fashion informer of AVG and with spring just round the corner I thought I'd shed some light on what spring/summer 2011 has in store. Each week I'll be bringing some inside info on what's hot and what's not, from the 70's inspired look to the maxi look. Us ladies are spoilt for choice in 2011 as we have a slew of looks to pick from, including jumpsuits.
Something of a yoyo trend, one season they're in, the next they're out. But as fashion dictates it, the one piece anything is back in style. From jumpsuits/ playsuits to rompers. So it's definitely worth investing in a one piece this spring.
Still not convinced? The good news is that jumpsuits don't come in one shape this spring; loose, tight, halter, long sleeved, belted- anything goes. Which means you have no excuse!!!
How to wear a jumpsuit!!!!
Curvy ladies
If you have curves or a pear shape figure try a strapless or halter neck play/jumpsuit, belted firmly at the waist for a killer silhouette. Jumpsuits flatter a curvier figure as they enhance the curves in a more natural way. You can pick shorter or longer versions as they both suit a fuller figure. But do go for a plain block colour as it will make you look slimmer than if you where to wear a printed jumpsuit!!!
Taller ladies
If you're tall you can chose a long simple jumpsuit, as it'll be more feminine and sophisticated, you can afford to wear flat shoes or sandals as heels will make you look mega tall!!! For maximum elegance go for a black, low cut jumpsuit and add some simple accessories and heels. Definitely a replacement for he LBD....Its now all about a LBJ!!!
Petite ladies
For you petite ladies, playsuits are the the ones to flatter your figure. In order to make you look taller chose a V-neck or strapless playsuit, as it will elongate you bust, also go for a playsuit with panels as it will create the illusion of having extra height. If you're looking at creating the appearance of longer legs opt for high heels instead of flats or sandals, giving you killer pins!!!
Slim /Boyish Figure
If you're slim consider yourself lucky, as you can play around with volume, various cuts and fabrics.
A jumpsuit with ruffles is a good choice as it will add feminine curves to any slender figure, if you want to add more volume you can wear something underneath, such as a t-shirt or blouse, or even a few layers on top like a blazer/jacket. A boy-ish figure will look sexier and curvier by adding chunky accessories. But DO avoid fitted jumpsuits as it will do nothing for your figure.
When and where to wear a jumpsuit?
For the night time opt for luxurious fabrics such as silk, with some sequined details to add a little character. If you really want to blend two key looks for 2011, then put lace into your jumpsuit, bringing the one piece look in with the lace craze!! Doubling up your fashion cred!!!
If you're looking at wearing a jumpsuit in the day, go for a plain colour piece, try it with a leather jacket , once again combining two 2011 spring/summer looks of the one piece and the biker look. The options are endless when it comes to accessories, as bold jewellery and a variety of belts will make your jumpsuit seem like a different outfit each time!!
So that's it for part one of summer/spring 2011...keep posted for part 2 EXCLUSIVELY ON AVG!
