Hey there,
Jumpsuit is a piece of clothing with long pant style sleeves. Mostly full length, bottom style can be bell bottom, pencil fit, straight fit or slit as well. Like the one I m wearing from AND JUMPSUIT by ANTITA DONGRE, top part is spaghetti style and bottom is very flared palazzo style. The color splash on top part is very catchy plus gives me very feminne look.
The other maroon jumpsuit I am wearing is one solid color both top and bottom. Jumpsuits can come in 2 different colors the top and the pant part or one solid color attached with each other. So let’s know how Jumpsuit was discovered and how it came in fashion.
Jumpsuit is a piece of clothing, originally referred to the functional one-piece garments used by parachute drivers or best called skydivers. More recently, it has come to be used as a common term for any one-piece garment with sleeves ,legs and typically though not always, without integral coverings for feet, hands or head. The original skydivers’ jumpsuits were simple garments designed to insulate the body from the cold of high altitudes and minimize risk of covering important handles and grips. Jumpsuits are generally regarded as a garment of convenience, as they are simpler to launder, put on and remove than an ensemble outfit. Unless the jumpsuit has a drop seat, however, it is necessary to remove it entirely for bathroom use. The word onesie is used to describe casual jumpsuits (to be used as loungewear or pajamas) which became a fashion fad around 2010, but the word is sometimes also used for other forms of jumpsuits, like one-piece motorcycle suits or ski suits.
Aviators and Astronauts – sometimes wear insulated, fire-retardant jumpsuits or flight suits where other types of clothing can potentially float or flap about in zero gravity or during high-G maneuvers. Drivers in motor racing wear jumpsuits for protection against fire and (in the case of motorcycle racers) leather suits for abrasion.
Sports Athletes – Skiers wear insulated jumpsuits or ski suits to protect themselves from cold (especially after falling or tumbling in snow). Competitive skiers and speed skaters wear skin-tight jumpsuits to provide freedom of movement while minimizing air resistance. Skydivers wear technical jumpsuits as main sport equipment for today’s sport skydiving.
Manual laborers – The jumpsuit’s simple one-piece design also makes it a practical garment for tradesmen, such as cleaners, auto mechanics and plumbers, who often wear loose-fitting jumpsuits, or coveralls, where they need a better-protecting garment than an apron or bib.
Institutions – The jumpsuit has sometimes been mandated as an institutional uniform, as it can be a unisex garment and can accommodate a wide range of body shapes. University and polytechnic students in Finland and Sweden often wear jumpsuits colored according to their school or field of study at student parties, so called student boiler suits. In Norway, high school students wear jumpsuits for three weeks of May as a part of the graduation ritual Russefeiring.
Prisons – In the United States and sometimes in Canada use bright orange jumpsuit uniforms for inmates for ease of identification and high visibility. Like other forms of distinctive prison uniforms, such clothing is easily distinguishable from that of civilians in the case of escape, thus aiding in escapees’ identification and recapture. Issuing jumpsuits rather than pants also removes the need for -belts, suspenders or drawstrings, items which are very often contraband due to their potential use as weapons or aides in self-harm or suicide. The widespread use in prisons of orange jumpsuits has led in these countries to a cultural association with imprisoned convicts, as is the case with the now less prevalent pattern of black and white horizontal stripes.
Small children – A simple-to-launder one-piece garment can be especially convenient for parents to dress small children in. In countries with colder climates, snowsuits, or jumpsuits quilted or padded for warmth, are popular during the wintertime.
Fashion – Jumpsuits have also reappeared from time to time in high fashion, where it is often attractive to designers because it has an unbroken line running from the neck to the feet and can be flattering on somebody shapes.
Popular culture starting in the 1960s, the jumpsuit has made occasional appearances in common and high fashion (particularly in the 1980s). Jumpsuits have often been used as stage costumes in stage productions and by various singers and bands. A black leather jumpsuit is part of Suzi Quatro‘s image. Elvis Presley, Mick Jagger, The Who, Queen, Feeder, Alphaville, Goldfrapp, Aaliyah, Britney Spears, Pink, Devo, Polysics, Spice Girls, Korn and Slipknot, for example, have all performed in flamboyantly-designed jumpsuit-like garments. On the TV series, Scrubs, the character Janitor is frequently called “jumpsuit” or referred to as wearing a jumpsuit.
