Style advice for the Leah Jumpsuit
The Leah Jumpsuit for X- and 8-types
The most important thing every X- or 8-type needs to do is accentuate, not hide their waist. That's why you should always wear the Leah Jumpsuit with a belt, and if you leave the zip at the neck open a little, you'll create a nice V-neck. By applying these tips, you'll draw even more attention to your waist and make your upper body and neck look longer. Make the Leah Jumpsuit in fabric that isn't too stiff.
The Leah Jumpsuit for V-types
As a woman with a V-type body shape, your body's centre of gravity lies above the waist, i.e. your shoulders are broader than your hips. Balance your silhouette by creating the optical illusion of narrower shoulders and wider hips.
Give yourself a lovely V-neck by always making sure the zip closure is always left slightly open. Wear a nice top under the jumpsuit to draw attention to the middle of your upper body (i.e., away from your shoulders). What’s more, your waist will look smaller when you apply these tips. That’s a win-win! The pockets at the hips also give your lower body the right amount of volume. If you’d like to add a little more visual weight to your lower body, roll the trousers at the bottom. It creates a more proportional figure.
The Leah Jumpsuit for A-types
The hips are the A-type’s centre of gravity. The trick here is to get your shoulders to look wider so that they are in better proportion to your hips. Wear the jumpsuit open and pair it with a horizontally striped or brightly coloured t-shirt. That will accentuate your upper body more. What's more, the yoke on the jumpsuit’s shoulders creates a broadening effect.
Tip: if you’re using a print fabric, cut the yoke and the breast pockets in a different direction to create even more emphasis on the upper body. Wear a belt with the Leah Jumpsuit to accentuate the waistline. However, be sure not to tighten the belt too much, so that the transition from upper to lower body remains natural.
The Leah Jumpsuit for H-types
The balance between shoulders and hips with wide rectangle body types is perfect, only a waist is missing. The idea is to maintain the balance in your figure and create a waist.
Don't put the seam to high on the trousers, instead angling it slightly towards the hips. That will allow you to wear the belt a little lower. Check shortening and lengthening and find out how to alter the pattern.
Go for heavy fabric, something with a fluid drape or even a somewhat stiffer fabric. Geometric and graphic prints are an absolute yes for your body shape.
The Leah Jumpsuit for O-types
The zip at the front help draw a longitudinal line down the centre of your body, helping you visually ‘stretch’ your upper body. Draw the focus toward your shoulders and face by pulling down the zip and leaving the collar open. Most O-types have slender ankles. Show these off by rolling up the pant legs a little and combining the jumpsuit with wedge heels. Tip: wear a pair of stunning earrings to draw the focus away from ‘the danger zone’, i.e. the apple's midriff. You can wear the jumpsuit with or without a belt.
Go for a medium to heavyweight fabric in a relatively dark colour.
The Leah Jumpsuit for I-types
What's great about this jumpsuit for I-types is that it very playfully adds volume to their slender figures. Tips: cut the breast pockets at a different angle if you’re using print fabric; leave the zip down a bit and pair the jumpsuit with a top in a fun print or striking colour; roll your trouser legs or sleeves up, and – whatever you do – be sure to use the belt!
Pick fabrics that add structure to your body and definitely be sure to go for a print or great colour.
