Keep on scrolling to see what style best suits your silhouette.
Tall
Length and proportion come to mind when choosing the right style of jumpsuits that will compliment your height. Wide leg jumpsuits are a great choice if you are around or over 5’7 You have the height to work more fabric so just flow with it.
Curvy
Turn heads with free-flowing jumpsuits that compliment your curves! I would recommend jumpsuits with an elastic band at the waist or even belted jumpsuits as they add a natural waist line to your look.
Style Tip: Go for a Blouson Jumpsuit
Petite
Calling all girls around or under 5’2. Finding the right fit of a jumpsuit can be a little difficult to come by when considering length. Choose a style that is tailored to you. Something that is not drapey or oversized like a straight leg jumpsuit, cropped or culottes are great, as well as jumpsuits that are tapered at the ankles to give the illusion of looking taller.
Style Tip: Consider wedges when wearing a wide leg jumpsuit, that way you don't feel as if you are drowning in fabric.

Choose styles that create the illusion of making your cup size bigger (if you want).

If you fall under this category you can get away without having to wear bras, go for those deep V's and backless jumpsuits.
