<-h2->Party jumpsuits and playsuits<-h2-> The evening sorted in a single decision, which is what party jumpsuits and playsuits offer. Our edit runs sequin, satin, velvet and tailored fabrics in black, deeper colour and metallic finishes, cut wide, straight or close through the leg, with strapless, halter and long-sleeved bodies. Halter necks hold their shape through a long night, and the strapless versions want nothing added at the neck at all. She likes the ones that look like they took thought and feel like nothing by midnight. Satin catches low light in a way a printed dress never will, velvet holds its depth under a camera flash, and a tailored jumpsuit in black is the most restrained thing in the room and usually the most looked at. Everything around it stays understated: one heel, one small bag, one piece of gold. The rest is posture. None of this belongs only to December, and the good ones come back out in June for something entirely different. This is what confidence looks like with the effort hidden.
