Why Jumpsuits Are Perfect For Pregnant Women
When Strategist writer Jenny Friedler discovered a jumpsuit that claimed to be one-size-fits-all, she had her doubts. But she’s since found it takes the stress out of dressing while pregnant and is presentable enough for Zoom calls.
Baggy jumpsuits feel comfortable and relaxed, while tapered or skinny legs offer a more tailored appearance. Both types are often crafted from lightweight cotton or polyester.
Comfort
Jumpsuits are easy to wear and they come in a variety of styles. They can be worn in any season as they are made from a light material that keeps you cool and comfortable. They also provide a great silhouette to the wearer. They look chic and elegant and are suitable for any occasion. Whether you’re going to a dinner date or a party, jumpsuits are the perfect outfit for you. They are extremely comfortable to wear and you can even run around in them without having to worry about getting dirty.

Made from a lightweight cotton twill, this piece is perfect for everyday wear. The wide leg and deep pockets add to its versatility, while the minimal details make it perfect for a minimalist style.
Versatility
One of the best things about jumpsuits is that they can be dressed up or down for various occasions. For example, you can wear a floral print or a black formal jumpsuit to a wedding or a casual one-piece for drinks with friends. If you’re feeling creative, add a splash of colour or patterned accessories to a plain or neutral jumpsuit and it will instantly look like a whole new outfit. Jumpsuits are incredibly convenient as they are one-piece outfits and eliminate the need to coordinate separate tops and bottoms. If you’re rushing to get dressed, or have been invited to a last minute event, you can quickly put on your jumpsuit and you’ll be ready in no time.
Another reason why jumpsuits are so versatile is that they’re a flattering option for any body type. Depending on the style, jumpsuits can cinch in at the waistline and fall over the lower half to create an hourglass effect. Wide-leg jumpsuits can also be very elongating when worn with heels.
If you want to dress your jumpsuit up for a workwear occasion, try adding a cropped blazer or an oversized mid-length blazer over the top. Alternatively, you can layer your jumpsuit with a long cardigan in a complementary or contrasting colour. This will help your jumpsuit to appear less bulky and more fitted and it will create an interesting contrast in textures that can make you look slimmer.
Ease of Movement
Jumpsuits are usually designed with a lot of movement Jumpsuits in mind, making them incredibly comfortable to wear. They don’t cling to the body like dresses do, and are available in different styles and designs so they can be worn for a casual day out or to dress up for a night out depending on your choice of fabric and design.
Jumpsuits offer much more freedom of movement than a pair of pants, and they are especially easy to move in when you’re exercising or going for a bike ride. They’re also an ideal outfit for a yoga class because they’re typically made of sweat-wicking fabrics and can help keep you cool and comfortable during your workout.

Women have been wearing jumpsuits for decades, including Rosie the Riveter, who famously wore a red overall jumpsuit during WWII. The garment gained more popularity in the 1960s and 1970s as both men and women embraced them for everyday wear. They were often referred to as “rompers.” A basic parachuter’s jumpsuit or boiler suit starts around $20 USD, while long-sleeved options like the Caron Callahan’s workwear-inspired twill jumpsuits, or the more elegant, somewhat dressier Josefina jumpsuit start at about $120 USD.
Style
As with any piece of clothing, the right styling and accessories can elevate or downplay its appearance. For example, a jumpsuit dress can be dressed up for a formal occasion when worn with heels and statement jewelry, while a jumpsuit romper can be dressed down with flats or sandals, a denim jacket, and a crossbody bag. When wearing a more casual jumpsuit, a blazer or leather jacket is a perfect addition that also adds dimension to the outfit.
