Steep vs Cheap: printed jumpsuits
Printed jumpsuits are all we want to wear right now. Churned out print after print on the runways for resort 2012, we love the versatility of this summer staple, and it’s a good job they’re everywhere.
Casual and comfortable enough to slip into for a summer daytime look or effortlessly revamped by adding a few accessories for sleek evening style, the jumpsuit is a permanent resident in our wardrobes.
Sea NY’s leopard silk jumpsuit has got us particularly excited about parading in this summer’s hottest trend. The subtle monochrome animal print, feminine ruffled trim and soft take on the glamorous Seventies aesthetic makes for a perfect cover up in sunnier climes.
But if the jumpsuit’s £375 price tag has left you a little, er, jumpy, we’ve found a classic alternative which will keep your fashion budget firmly on the ground!
Enter Gestuz’s batik effect printed jumpsuit. Modestly priced at £45 and measuring in equally on the glamour gauge, we love the cinched waistband, slouchy tapered legs and, of course, the fabulous print.
Perfect investment piece defined, either jumpsuit is a sure-fire way to complete your summer wardrobe – question is, which will you be wearing?
