What is your wardrobe missing? Could it be the perfect jumpsuit? We thought so.

The jumpsuit is quite possibly the easiest-to-wear item of clothing in existence – all you have to think about with it is accessories. This simple wardrobe addition promises to make your festival, wedding, work and off-duty wardrobes a whole lot easier to manage.

Are jumpsuits flattering?

Yes, but you'll need to shop around. Once you've found the style and shape that suits you, you'll be unstoppable. Curvy figures will benefit from a V-neck style with a cinched waist and looser pants, while petite ladies should generally opt for something more tailored.

Are jumpsuits in style?

A classic jumpsuit (as in, no spots or camo-prints), will always be in fashion, but you'll also see it being updated on the runway every season. Opt for something neutral and timeless or make sure you're on top of which trends are hot – and which are definitely not.

So what should you be keeping an eye out for?

For off-duty sartorial success, find a relaxed denim boilersuit that you can dress up with heeled sandals (find some in our edit of 2016’s best sandals) or dress down with flatforms or trainers.

For wedding season, opt for a feminine off-the-shoulder jumpsuit with ruffle trims or embroidered detailing, and team it with heels and a clutch.

Are jumpsuits appropriate for work?

We certainly think so. Choose a black or navy tailored design and team it with classic courts and minimal accessories for a sharp and fashion-forward boardroom look.

So stop wasting time on outfit compiling and shop our edit of the best jumpsuits to buy now. From Stella McCartney's retro denim design to Topshop's ultimate evening option, there's a jumpsuit in here to suit everyone.
