Style advice for the Danika Jumpsuit
The length and width of the trouser legs are what make or break a jumpsuit. And those factors depend on how tall you are and your body shape.
Are you shorter than 165 cm?
Go for a fitted jumpsuit. It’s not possible to create a nice, balanced silhouette with a loose cut. The trouser legs should be straight or tapered at the ankles, and whatever you do – avoid wide-legged trousers. They will only make you look shorter. Want to look taller? Keep the details limited to the top of your figure to draw the gaze upwards. Go for a fabric with thin vertical lines and wear heels with the jumpsuit.
Are you taller than 172 cm?
Wide trousers legs are just fine, but you do need to pick the right length, whether it's culottes, long trouser legs, or ankle-length.
The hem of your jumpsuit creates a horizontal line across your body. If you've got sturdier calves, make sure the jumpsuit is longer than calf-length. If you've got relatively narrow calves, go for a calf-length jumpsuit.
The Danika Jumpsuit for O-types
When it comes to jumpsuits for O-types, there are two key criteria. One, there should be plenty of room at the waist, and two, the trouser legs should be straight or slightly flared. Always keep in mind that the goal is to create vertical lines. One way to create that lengthening effect is to use vertically striped fabric.
Your body shape would benefit from a top with a top that isn’t one endless surface. In this case, the relatively high neck of the top creates a large surface that doesn’t flatter your figure. For that reason, you should alter the neckline into a V-neck or a scoop neck. Another great choice would be to create a draped neckline to draw the gaze towards your neck, bust and face.

Select a fabric with a fluid drape in a relatively dark colour. Avoid fabrics that are too stiff.
The Danika Jumpsuit for I-types
Straight body shapes like the slim rectangle benefit from clothing designs that lend their figure more body. Unfortunately, that’s not something the Danika jumpsuit does. To remedy that problem, add a few nice details, such as
· patch pockets across the side seam or on the seat
· sweet butterfly or puffed sleeves, ruffles, flounces, etc.
· Make sure the trouser legs flare towards the hemline.
Doing all those things will help add extra volume to the top and bottom of your silhouette, giving your figure the shape it needs.
The Danika Jumpsuit for A-types
The Danika jumpsuit’s high, horizontal neckline, subtle tailored fit, and straight legs all look great on your body shape.
Make the trouser legs a touch wider towards the hem and consider adding sleeves, frills, or ruffles. Any of these alterations will add the right volume to your shoulder line and provide a nice counterbalance to your broader hips. What’s more, it creates a waistline.
Make the trouser legs long enough to make your legs look longer and pair with heels. Think wedge sandals, for instance. Stilettos or other dainty heels are a bad idea. They make your lower body look heavier.
Finish off the look with a pair of eye-catching earrings, such as the elegant macramé Olga earrings.
The Danika Jumpsuit for X- and 8-types
Jumpsuits that accentuate your natural curves are the best option for your body shape. What’s more, excess details are just that for your body shape – excess. That makes the Danika jumpsuit and its simple, understated cut the perfect design for you. A quick note: alter the neckline to something deeper (V-neck, round, etc.) or create a draped neckline to emphasise your décolleté.
You could also take in the side seam a little to bring the waist into focus. If you go that route, be sure to incorporate an invisible zip in the side seam.
The Danika Jumpsuit for H-types
Wide rectangles have two options – a straight vertical look or to try and ‘pump up the volume’.
The choice is clear with the Danika jumpsuit. It’s time for a straight, simple look. Unless, of course, you're on the bustier side. In that case, the high neckline will only make you look heavier.

The Danika Jumpsuit for V-types
The centre of gravity on inverted triangles is at the top of the body, while the lower body is on the narrower side. Creating a less top-heavy figure means emphasising the lower body.
The Danika jumpsuit's high neckline draws a little too much attention to the top of the silhouette. Thankfully, that's not too tough a challenge to solve. Just counterbalance by making the trouser legs wider. That will draw the focus away from your torso and back onto your lower body.
An alternative would be to alter the neckline to a V-neck, at which point the width of the trouser legs no longer matters quite as much.
