Strappy Jumpsuit – Airy Loose Legs and an Elastic Waist for Hot Days

Strappy Jumpsuit – One Piece for Weather That Rules Out Sleeves

Narrow straps leave the shoulders and back open, and the light fabric falls away from the leg instead of following it. The waist is elastic, so there is no zip or button anywhere on the piece. Six colors, from pale through to deep.

Why choose a strappy summer jumpsuit?

A sleeved jumpsuit stops being wearable somewhere around the point the thermometer gets serious. Narrow straps keep the convenience of dressing in one go without carrying the extra fabric. It ends up being the warm-weather answer to both a dress and shorts.

• Shoulders and back left open — the straps cover very little, which is the point in August.
• Leg never touches the skin — a loose cut that hangs clear rather than following the thigh.
• Waistband gives when you sit — elastic all the way round, with nothing to unfasten.
• Weighs almost nothing packed — it takes up a corner of a case rather than a section.
• Steps on over the head or feet — whichever you find easier, since there is no closure.

The summer version of getting dressed once and being done.

Because there is no fastening, the fit comes down to the waistband and the strap length. Wash it on a low program and it keeps its drape. It dries quickly enough to rinse out on the road.
