Jumpsuits update - OH NO!



Remember that glorious Rag&Bone jumpsuit I posted? Well, The KaKa matriarch decided to purchase one, giving us all a cogent illustration of (1) how jumpsuits should fit, and (2) that all clothing comes with an age appropriate warning.

Fit:
Jumpsuits cannot be skin tight. They should drape a bit, hanging a tad loosely. They should definitely not pull across  the hips. Anything too tight recalls a plump baby's onesie.

Age: Are you too old to wear a jumpsuit? This is how you can tell. If you are more than half a lifetime away from the original onesie - stay away.

In other celeb news, Jennifer Garner sported a jumpsuit as well, from Kate Moss' Topshop line if I'm not mistaken, again giving a useful demo:


Jumpsuit pants should not be too wide - it unbalances the top, and makes most wearers look wide through the hip. And they definitely should be hemmed better.
