Flattering jumpsuits have become a mainstay of fashion collections. No longer seen as a trend or a passing fad, for many women, a jumpsuit is the perfect go-to piece for both smart and casual occasions.
While the runway was certainly responsible for their original return, flattering jumpsuits have now become a staple of both high-end and ready-to-wear collections. Comfortable, stylish, and available in multiple smart and casual iterations, the jumpsuit has firmly cemented its place in the capsule wardrobe. The most flattering jumpsuits straddle the line between great trousers and the best dresses. A one-stop outfit, it removes all the anxiety that comes with pairing up separates and has opened up a whole new world of styling possibilities for women who prefer trousers over dresses.
Jumpsuits have become unbelievably popular and with so many different cuts available, you can find a flattering jumpsuit, whatever your silhouette. Casual executions are chic and as reliable as your favorite jeans, while smarter, printed and more tailored versions can be the ideal solution for occasion wear. With a trouser bottom, they're more likely to have added convenience such as pockets too.
Whether you have a pear body shape, rectangle body shape, apple body shape or are looking for plus size or petite picks, we have pulled together some of the best jumpsuits on the market and given you some helpful tips for what to look out for when shopping too.

Best jumpsuits for apple shapes
Finding a flattering jumpsuit for an apple body shape is easy when you know what to look for. While you might have previously leaned towards dresses to hide a tummy, a jumpsuit is a great silhouette for an apple body shape. It's all about finding one that defines your waist and is tailored for your legs.
Three fashion tips...
- Wrap & V-neck lines draw the eye up to the bust and away from your middle.

- Straight leg or tailored pants will complement slim legs.

Best jumpsuits for pear shapes
Pear-shaped bodies generally have a smaller bust and waist, with wider hips and bottom. For the most flattering jumpsuit for a pear-shaped figure, you want to look for shapes that create a balance between a wider bottom and smaller top half.
Three fashion tips...
- Straight or wide leg trousers are your best friend. They’ll glide and flow over your bottom half creating a streamlined shape.

Three fashion tips...
- Don’t swamp your body, stick to tailored and fitted styles. You can get away with slightly oversized but the proportions must still be correct. Be mindful of the crotch area as this can not be altered by a tailor easily.
- Slim and straight-leg trousers will make your legs look longer.
- Stick to all one color or print to help elongate your body, if you are opting for a jumpsuit with added detail, look for detail at the top of the jumpsuit, along shoulders or yokes as this draws the eye up.
