How to Style a Jumpsuit From Day to Night
To take a jumpsuit from day to night, keep the jumpsuit and change three things: your shoes, your layer and your jewelry. For day, go with flats or sneakers and a casual layer. For night, switch to a heel, take off the layer or swap it for something sharper, and add one bold piece of jewelry.
How Do You Style a Jumpsuit for Day?
- Shoes: sneakers, loafers or flat sandals
- Layer: a denim jacket, a cardigan or an oversized shirt worn open
- Bag: a tote or crossbody
- Jewelry: small and simple
Pick a cropped style if you live in flats, so the hem stays clean. See our length guide.
How Do You Style a Jumpsuit for Night?
- Shoes: a heel, a platform or a strappy sandal
- Layer: a blazer over the shoulders, or none at all
- Bag: a small clutch or shoulder bag
- Jewelry: one statement piece, like big earrings or a cuff
Should You Belt a Jumpsuit?
It depends on the cut. If the jumpsuit already has a defined waist, you don't need a belt. If it is looser, a belt adds shape and makes it look more intentional. Try a thin belt for day and a bolder one for night.
What Jumpsuit Fabric Is Best?
Ponte gives a jumpsuit structure. It looks tailored and holds its shape through a long day. Jersey makes a jumpsuit softer and more relaxed. Learn more in Ponte vs. Jersey.
