The 2010’s hipster-style revamp has–unsurprisingly–brought about the return of the jumpsuit. The jumpsuit is no longer the sleeveless, drop-waist, or bohemian-style silhouettes it used to be. It’s now a staple of everyday fashion.
The decade of 2020 has shown, even after only three and a quarter years, that anything is possible. Jumpsuits are no exception. Jumpsuits are available in an array of prints, colors, sizes, and textures. Style stars have been seen in all shapes, from the utilitarian to the artisanal. Shoes that go with this garment can be as varied as the styles themselves, ranging from casual sneakers to pointed pumps.
Discover how to style your jumpsuit for the new revival of the style. Also, learn the six shoes that you should pair with them.

Combat boots give your jumpsuit an edge. Closed-toe lace-ups add a grungy, yet romantic touch to a single-piece outfit. Rubber soles with ridges provide traction on every step. Classic black leather is a timeless style that will be a statement no matter where you go.
Sharp White Sneakers

As this pair of Adidas sneakers with stripes worn by a fashionista at Copenhagen Fashion Week shows, white sneakers are always in style. These sporty sneakers will make a monochrome look when worn with a matching outfit or a simple one-piece in any colour. Find elevated pairs with subtle details such as simple black stripes, textured soles or paneled uppers.
Square Toed Boots

Square-toed booties will add a cool flair to any jumpsuit. As seen here in the blue denim look of this street style model. Contrast the colors of your boots, in any variation of squared geometric toes from subtle to bold, with those of your jumpsuit to create a two-toned look. To add a touch of equestrian flair to dark pieces, lighter shades like cream, wheat and tan will complement them. Lighter jumpsuits look great with darker sets in deep red, navy or black.

The addition of pointed-toed pumps to a jumpsuit will give it a chic new look. For a formal, smart base, wear a set that is a shade lighter or darker than your one-piece. As exemplified in this Paris Fashion Week attendee, warm browns or chocolate-tones elevate a darker jumpsuit.
Block Heeled Booties

The ankle booties are the go-to shoes for jumpsuits. They’re now more comfortable and practical than their older, studded peep-toed sisters. The low-shaft style is popular this time in dark, smooth leathers with block heels to create a balanced look. As seen in New York Fashion Week, flat or platform-soled styles with a matching print or texture will give your jumpsuit a sleek finish.

High-heeled booties, like pointed-toe pumps will instantly dress up any jumpsuit. The thin heels of a pair of calf or knee high boots can give the look a sharp edge. They are perfect for wearing under or over long hems. Dark leather or suede iterations will make the sleekest statement statement in any environment–especially in classic black.
