A jumpsuit is a stylish summer staple. Easy and comfortable, they remove all the effort of separates (and you don’t have to shave your legs) – but getting the right fit is key, or you’ll go from flattering to frumpy.

And over the weekend Jennifer Love Hewitt demonstrated how not to do summer’s trickiest trend.

Spotted in LA, the actress showed off her fashion fearlessness by donning a white flora-printed jumpsuit, but it failed to impress us. Baggy and ill-fitting, it didn’t make the most of Jen’s curves – in fact, it made her look top heavy, and the long hems dragged along the floor making her look like she was walking on stilts or something.

Circus chic? We don’t think so.

We admire her bravery, but a short sleeved tailored style with a big waist belt would have been far better on the petite beauty than this fashion disaster.

What do you think of Jennifer’s look? Fun or frightening?
