How to Style: A Playful Purple Jumpsuit

Jumpsuits are a glorious exemplification of statement style, transcending the tried-and-tested formula of the trouser and top combination. Venturing into daring, fashionable territories, the jumpsuit is a commonly avoided style, despite the outfit proving to be an incredibly chic time-saver. Donning a jumpsuit, it seems, is fraught with insecurity and anxiety, so we’ve put together some inspirational tips on how to accessorise and wear this item confidently, allowing you to emerge as a powerful and beautiful style sensation.

Brunch Date

Spring and summer are ideal seasons to don a culotte jumpsuit: the loose, cropped fit of this effortlessly chic statement garment makes it the perfect attire for outdoor brunch dates. Comfy yet stylish, this piece can be paired with a beautiful patterned jacket to add a touch of glamour, whilst the white accessories add simplicity and provide a perfect base to make the outfit ‘pop’. Finish the look with a small splash of yellow in your jewellery choices to tie the range of colours and patterns together. And there you have it - the perfect summery brunch look.

Disco Queen

Coupling a silver sheen with an intense purple can expertly turn the volume up on the brightness of a look. This complementary colour-matching can be achieved by pairing our ruffled purple jumpsuit with silver accessories; the metallic leather-esque jacket pays homage to the futuristic, experimental styles presented on numerous SS20 runways, with the overall disco vibe running throughout the look an affectionate nod to the 70s – the era that gave us bell-bottoms, platform shoes, and saw the rise of disco fever. Complete the look with a colourful neck scarf for added flair.

Fifty/Fifty

Colour-blocking is a long-withstanding trend and has come back this SS20 with vengeance in a parade of bright, neon shades. Originating in the 60s and 70s with Yves Saint Laurent’s iconic Modrian shift dress, the act of colour-blocking represented experimentation and a fashion revolution; why not echo this ethos in a time where fashion knows no bounds and experimentation can reveal your inner sense of style? Outside-of-the-box hues and colour pairings can be found on everyone, from Victoria Beckham to Karolina Kurkova, so take a chance and style our luxurious purple jumpsuit with a bright pink and orange statement jacket – it’s the ultimate expression of vivacity, confidence, and power. Extend this bright, punky colour scheme to your accessories for an elegant, eclectic, and coherent outfit that’s guaranteed to turn heads.

Hot Pink

Irrespective of age and personal style, hot pink and purple are shades that can work for everyone – it all comes down to styling. Purple, reminiscent of royalty and majesty, is perfect for demure outfits oozing sophistication; the addition of hot pink has the ability to transform a look from demure to edgy, sophisticated to playful, and become an expression of confidence and luxe. Opting for pointed stilettos helps elongate the leg – a common worry for culotte wearers, especially those on the more petite side – while the hat and heart-detailed bag add a youthful exuberance.

Neon Moment

SS20 runways have somewhat resembled a pack of highlighters; with Valentino pioneering a veritable ‘neon explosion’, opting for a neon-inspired look will leave you in good company. Imbuing our ruffled purple jumpsuit with neon accents is a fabulously fun way to accentuate your daring, confident side while radiating an element of glamour. Opting for a structured, neon blazer perfectly contrasts the playful ruffles of the jumpsuit to add a touch of sophistication, whilst keeping the look light and fun. Pointed stilettos further elevate the elegance of the look, and a red bag with multicoloured earrings ties the whole look together with a subtle wink to the colour-blocking trend.

Night in the City

Accessories aren’t the only tools that can transform and complement a jumpsuit look: layering with a top underneath is a common trend with dresses that can also work exceptionally well with jumpsuits; including an item of clothing with different textures and patterns can add a level of intrigue and excitement to the look; playing around with colour can help to tone down or tone up an outfit. As purple’s parent colour is blue, the hues of this shirt elegantly match to create a coherent, sophisticated look. The soft, wistful pattern of the roll neck is balanced beautifully with the pastel tone of the handbag, while the subtle sparkle in the shoes and earrings concludes the look, rendering it ideal for a night in the city.

Reptile Chic

Reptile prints flooded the high fashion market in recent years, visible all the way from the runway to street style. Snakeskin has been afforded some clout when taking on the more popular animal prints, referred to as the ‘new neutral’ by some designers. Incorporating this stylish, high-fashion print can be challenging as it demands attention but, when styled well, it can help demonstrate a confident wild-side. Our purple jumpsuit provides the perfect canvas to experiment with textures and prints: pairing the ruffles of the jumpsuit with the scaly print in both a jacket and pair of boots adds a dynamic feel to the look, and the bold green bag creates a perfect unity with the purple jumpsuit. Wear alongside your favourite earrings for a poised look that works for both daytime and evening.

Touch of Emerald

Jewel tones, both rich and glamorous, can transform an outfit into one of exquisite elegance and grandeur. Purple and emerald green pair together beautifully to form the ultimate expression of luxurious majesty. Adorning yourself with a velvet blazer helps to create an outfit reminiscent of royal regalia, with the fabric initially worn by nobility in centuries past and then modelled on the extravagant gowns of the 80s, thus making velvet the perfect material when creating a jewel-tone inspired outfit. Then, you can channel as much decadence as you dare in your accessories with bejewelled shoes, a dazzling bag, and sparkling earrings, in a sophisticated expression of glamour. Relinquish the rules of fashion and dress to the tune of your own personal style - no one will look better.

Urban Jungle

Bold colours and striking prints are a staple when seeking to express personal style, in spite of their daunting nature. If this trend leaves you filled with fear, an excellent place to start is with your accessories. Choose a statement print to feature on an accessory, then reflect the key colours in the rest of the outfit. This way, you can gradually introduce more prints into your outfits, one step at a time. Why not opt for some animal print shoes? Burnt orange and purple marry together beautifully for a more autumnal-inspired look; the tiger print demonstrates a fun and playful side to the outfit; and stilettos elongate the legs to complement the cut of the jumpsuit. If you’re feeling particularly brave, perhaps feature a different print on your bag? Clashing patterns have been a hit on the runaway in recent years, channeling maximalist fashion energy whilst remaining elegant and subtle. Round off the look with a burnt orange dress to tie the tones and prints together for a truly stylish, modern look.

Very Cherry

Red and purple are two bold shades. Worn together, the somewhat unexpected duo evokes a sense of stylish sophistication for the chic, powerful woman daring to go bold. Purple is a serene, calming colour with echoes of regalia and power; when paired with its parent colour, red, the combination is truly alluring. Red denotes triumph and is the perfect shade to embody confidence and power. It can bolster confidence in the more reserved, while elevating and empowering the more gregarious among us. A fitted, shiny jacket styled with the freedom of the jumpsuit adds a certain edginess and spark to the playful look, with feminine sophistication reflected in the heels and bag. Blending the two colours within one outfit is an expression of empowerment, exuding a bubbly confidence that will infect everyone around you.
