21 Reasons to Wear a Jumpsuit to the Christmas Party

Sure, you could go to the office Christmas party in that festive freakum dress you've been spying on for some time now. Alternatively, you could skip the sequin chafe, unruly rising hemline, and that inevitable stuck zip by trading it in for a jumpsuit. Let us lay out the pros for you, like we're working on commission from the world jumpsuit organisation.

For starters, once you've found your jumpsuit or playsuit, your ensemble is essentially complete. Throw on a jacket and the perfect party heels, and you're done. Secondly, there's the comfort aspect. A jumpsuit is like wearing posh pyjamas that you can float, bloat, and stretch about in — for when you're reaching for the third candy cane cocktail or manoeuvring your way to the canapé tray, that is. Thirdly, the jumpsuit works with both flats and heels, so if you want to be extra comfortable, you don't have to sport a stiletto. Finally, you can justify your cost-per-wear by recycling the jumpsuit on casual days, dressing it down with trainers, or wearing it over a graphic tee. Must we go on?
