Here’s Why A Boilersuit Will Actually Make Getting Dressed Much Easier

If you’re scraping the barrel when it comes to your #WFHFit, have you considered a boilersuit? The utilitarian all-in-one, with its long sleeves, deep pockets and no-nonsense silhouette, is surely the ultimate example of lockdown dressing done right. If you don’t believe me, see Tracee Ellis Ross’s Instagram feed as evidence. Don’t you want some of that feel-good energy?

Also note that sales of jumpsuits are through the roof. In fact, they have increased by 430% compared to last year at Me + Em, and the brand’s Feminine Cargo Jumpsuit, a boilersuit by any other name, is its most viewed product online.

It’s not hard to see why. Made from a lyocell-linen blend, for a super-soft feeling against the skin, and cropped at that sweet spot above the ankle, it’s comfortable and flattering. There’s also nothing you can’t achieve in a boilersuit, including (light) weeding in the garden, entertaining the kids, video calling with colleagues and flopping on the sofa when it all becomes a bit much.

In terms of classic boilersuits, you can’t go wrong with a pair from M.C.Overalls. The zippered and collared style comes in fuchsia, lemon, orange, pink, navy and white - and will really put a spring in your step if you choose one of the more summery shades. As it starts to get warmer, you should also consider something in linen. LF Markey’s linen pair has short sleeves and - bonus - is a brilliant way to bring the outdoors in with its leafy hue. Roll up the legs and you’re ready for running around the garden with no worries about grass stains.
