Can Open Toe Slingbacks Go With Jumpsuit Evening Attire?

If it's true that every fashion trend comes back, the ever popular jumpsuit of the 1970s is enjoying another turn. This time around the jumpsuits come in a wider variety of cuts, styles and fabrics that create a stunning evening outfit, in large, thanks to today's most fashionable shoe styles. Does this Spark an idea?

Wide Leg Jumpsuits

A wide leg jumpsuit is a sophisticated approach to the trendy jumpsuit style. This pant style is typically worn long. The hem of the pant should nearly brush the floor.
Open toe shoes are beautiful with this style, although avoid a sling-back. The hem of the pant will likely catch in between your heel and the shoe and not only look unusual, but drive you crazy pulling them apart all evening.
A platform stiletto is a better alternative. It will add height to your stature, lengthen your legs and contribute to the elegance of this outfit.

Tapered Leg

A tapered jumpsuit is both sexy and fashionable. The form fit of this style looks fantastic with either open or closed-toe heels.
For the perfect evening outfit, wear a pair of sexy open toe slingback platform heels with a tapered jumpsuit. The slingback shoe style is a perfect match to the super sexy fit of the pant.
The d'Orsay style pump -- a heel that has the vamp of the shoe cut away very close to the toe box -- is another beautiful shoe style with a tapered jumpsuit.

Great Colors for Evening

If you're wearing a jumpsuit to an evening event you cannot go wrong with black. A black jumpsuit for a nighttime outfit is elegant, timeless and the most flattering color for every figure. If you're feeling colorful, the modern day jumpsuit comes in an array of prints and patterns as well as colors and fabrics. For a real attention grabber try a jumpsuit with some sparkle or sequin detailing.
Something to consider is that this one-piece style accentuates your hips and derriere. If you're an apple or pear shape body type choose a dark, low-cut jumpsuit to balance this effect, draw more attention to the upper body and flatter your figure in just the right way.

Polish the Look

The jumpsuit covers a lot of skin so the onlooker's eye will be drawn to what's showing -- cleavage, arms and toes. If you're wearing open toe shoes be sure to pay special attention to your pedicure.
A sleeveless jumpsuit looks fantastic with a gold bangle or stackable bracelets. A choker necklace is a great accessory for a strapless jumpsuit. If your jumpsuit has a low neckline be sure to moisturize your chest just as you would your legs when you wear a skirt. All exposed skin becomes part of the overall outfit.
