I remember when I first stepped into my Sacha Drake Solange jumpsuit.
It was a near-religious experience.
Not only did it feel as comfortable as wearing (fancy) pyjamas, I felt immediately dressed up.
Sacha Drake jumpsuit $249 (available size 8-18)
The jersey fabric drapes beautifully over the bits I prefer being draped over.
The sleeves can be adjusted to either sit out as cap sleeves or be gathered in to almost a tank style.
You can also adjust the waistline. No pesky belt ties limiting where you place the belt that comes with it.
Me? I like wearing the tie on the hips. You might be a true or high-waist kind of girl.
However you waist this jumpsuit, you’ll soon find out just how versatile it is.
As for the inevitable question about how you go to the toilet … well, this one is as simple as untying the tie around your waist or hips and then untying the tie at the back of your neck. It then slips off and you catch it on the way down 😉
For tips on how to wear a jumpsuit (and this one is available in the spring Styling You Shop this month – see this post for how to work it into a 17-piece capsule wardrobe) read on.
We’ve got almost every occasion covered.
The office
1. Sacha Drake jumpsuit $249 | 2. Surafina scarf $49 | 3. Surafina jacket $189 | 4. Louenhide bag
Who said jumpsuits were just for nights out? Add a jacket and scarf and you have a great office outfit. Invited to drinks after work? How easy is it to turn this outfit into evening wear.
Here’s how …
Evening out
1. Sacha Drake jumpsuit $249 | 2. The Adorn Collective necklace $40 | 3. Surafina jacket $189
Swap out the scarf for a necklace. Keep the jacket on (or leave at the office) and you’re good to go.
Weekend away
1. Sacha Drake jumpsuit $249 | 2. Everyday Cashmere knit $285 | 3. Read and Bell scarf $75
Going away for the weekend and want comfortable clothes that don’t crush in your overnight bag? This jumpsuit works a treat. Add a cashmere knit and scarf and you’re set with a smart casual outfit that you could wear to lounge around while reading a book or just as easily dress up by swapping out the scarf and knit for a necklace.
Weekend brunch
1. Sacha Drake jumpsuit $249 | 2. Bohemian Traders $129
Think ’70s disco meets boho-chic with this teaming of the jumpsuit with a kimono jacket. It works because of the contrast. Add in a pair of comfortable wedges or sandals and it’s an outfit that will take you out to weekend brunch looking fab and feeling comfortable.

Hooray for jumpsuits – glad the tips were helpful!
Oh yes to getting that jumpsuit out – are you settled back in at home? Hope you had a lovely holiday x
Love jumpsuits, rocked one at the races over the weekend. Nightmare to wee though :/
This one drops easily so haven’t found too much of a hassle!
Love that Sacha Drake jumpsuit so much and love how versatile it is. My faves are the weekend brunch look and the office. I’m a relatively new fan of the jumpsuit / playsuit. I have two playsuits and definitely have my eye on it’s longer sister the jumpsuit. Particularly in black or navy….xox
Oh I think they would look fab on you Wendy! X

I do love me a jumpsuit! In fact, I’ve just bought myself a navy and floral number. Can’t wait to rock it! x
I cannot wait to see you rocking it!!
Err what about when you have to go piddle?
As I explained in the post, just undo the back tie and let slide down. You just catch it before it hits the ground!
