Easy, Chic Dressing With A Jumpsuit: Visible Monday

patti 68 Comments

Easy, chic dressing with a jumpsuit: Visible Monday . I am so in love with jumpsuits. Having worn them in the 70’s (yeah, to the disco); and again in the late 80’s (utilitarian front-zips), I’ve fallen for them again.

Oh yes. I had one similar to the far right, and I did the disco thing like a boss. Source.

Welcome to Visible Monday. If you want to participate, it’s so easy: just go to the bottom of this post for the how-to. Link back to Not Dead Yet Style if you like – we’re on Easy Does It “rules” now!

This time around my jumpsuits harmonize with my calmer, smaller wardrobe. This particular one is my current favorite: a second-hand (eBay – they have thousands to choose from) Banana Republic V-neck jumpsuit, with wide legs. I had to have the hems taken up about 4″, but it was well worth the effort. I can wear this one all year, varying the under-pieces as the weather cools.

I like this look with a heel, or with my red sneakers. Simple and versatile. And really, the restroom part is no trickier than with a pair of button-front jeans. 😊

I’ve got a navy tee from Everlane, via Poshmark, underneath and the navy/black thing is chic. Everlane makes truly comfortable and durable classics; try them if you haven’t yet (they are not sponsoring me). The pendant I added is another favorite, thrifted in the East Village, and likely vintage 1960’s (sim). Almost as old as me!

  13. What an outstanding article, thank you a lot for climbing this acute matter.
    Being deeply reassured that lots of folks would share your perspectives, and I even showed your writing into a friend of mine.
    And that is when the arguments began… We have different
    opinions but, obviously, no problem, be it just something
    routine or genuinely important, should destroy a
    real friendship. In my humble view, which has the right to exist, the very purpose you’ve made cannot be questioned.

  16. I had a couple of jumpsuits when I was a teenager, including a red and white pinstriped one! I gave up on them for a while, but now that they are popular again, I find more interesting ones to buy secondhand. I like the style of the one you’re wearing – no fuss or muss, wear it layered over something or on its own.

    • Thank you Emma and thanks for linking up! Your colorful holiday dress is beautiful on you! xox

  18. Nice outfit and necklace. My last blogged outfit was a jumpsuit and I was really surprised at how well it looked. I’ve ignored them most of my life for foolish reason.

  20. You look just sooo coool, Patti. Yeah, I’m a jumpsuit fan too. But I’ve only made 2 so far. So much to sew, so little time. yadda, yadda, yadda. Hey, your cat’s growing more plants. Nice.

    • Hey Pao, thanks for coming over with your luxe velvet coat, looking like the Goddess of Autumn. Have a groovy week, xox.

    xx Darlene

    • Hello, Darlene and thanks for coming over. Your v-neck sweater looks fresh and the color is definitely one of your best! xox

    • Good morning Linda and thanks for coming over. Your plaid dress and that glorious Canadian Fall scenery made me smile! xox

  25. I like that you covered up some of the bareness with a tee underneath. What a good idea to look for Everlane in the after-market. Because you mentioned nuuly a couple of times, I recently subscribed (I’m wearing a FP top right now!). I think I’m really going to have some fun with this service. Thx, Patti!

    • Good morning, Kimberly and thanks for coming by! I’m glad you are enjoying Nuuly too; I am about to place my November order. Have a wonderful week ahead, xox.

    • Hi Nancy – you look so playful and chic in your leggings! thanks for coming over, xox.

  34. I have to limit myself on jumpsuits (I have 3) or they will overtake my closet! I love this version of a classic style, and don’t you love all the layering possibilities? Lovely, Patti!

    Linking up shortly in a fun outfit I wore to the theatre. Thank you so much for hosting!

    • Good morning, Sheila and thanks for linking up! That theatre dress is dramatic and stunning, love it. Enjoy the week ahead on your magical island, xox.

  35. Nope. Count me out on the jumpsuit thing. I DID sew a very groovy one in ’69 or ’70 in a red paisley (or maybe it was the blue. One was a jumpsuit, the other was a maxidress) viyella (wool/cotton blend). It was a jumper style on top with a very low plunge in front and I usually wore a white long sleeve peasant blouse underneath. That year’s family photo album is MIA, unfortunately. I sewed some cRaZy things in my tweens.

    • Looking very good in your jumpsuit Patti. I can see why you enjoy wearing this one, so versatile . One of those garments I admire on others but not for me. Many thanks for hosting, enjoy your week.

      • Thank you Jill and thanks for linking up – how precious is your grandson?! Have a great week ahead, enjoy every flower. xox

    • I bet you sewed a groovy one, Anne! Those paisleys were everything in the late 60’s. And I bet you looked smashing. Thanks for coming over today and stay fab, xox.

    • Good morning Debbie and thank you for coming over, and for your kind words! Have a lovely Monday, xox.

  38. JUMPSUITS! They are an obsession of mine lately. I can’t stop wearing them. I can’t stop making them! Yours is so fun and versatile. I love it with your tee and pendant necklace. Next time we get together, we should do a jumpsuit theme.
