Versatile and with an unmistakable charm, jumpsuits are undoubtedly the perfect summer ally. The reason? Let’s start with the most important: versatility. During the day with flat sandals and flip flops they are extremely cool and comfortable, in light textures or in the playsuit version they are fresh at the right point and, first things firsts, they save us the panic of “what do I wear?”. The evening? Combine the jumpsuit with a nice pair of heeled sandals, dizzying for more formal occasions but also low and minimal in the mules‘ version for ordinary summer evenings. But when did the jumpsuit become a fashion icon?

Yves Saint Laurent was the first to clear them in the everyday women’s wardrobe, declining them from work clothes (purely male) to the quintessence of ready-to-wear fashion. It was then musical icons such as Elvis Priestley, David Bowie and Diana Ross that made them a trendy object that, still decades later, is replicated by fashion brands all over the world. Also for this SS 20 in fact, the jumpsuit is present on the catwalk: Alberta Ferretti and Philosophy by Lorenzo Serafini, have taken over the boiler version, that of work uniforms, to dye it with tie-dye and pastel colours. Balmain has filled the jumpsuit with sequins and hyper-feminine cuts, making it the sexy-chic garment par excellence. But let’s not forget the streetwear versions: Off-White winks at the more traditional tracksuit and Longchampreinterprets it in a biker key. Can you miss the glam version? Alexander Wang and the precursor Saint Laurent, for thisSummer 2020, are inspired by the years of disco music with super tight cuts and flared legs. And you?
