A military flight suit, with a feminine edge

A pastel pink jumpsuit with exaggerated shoulders and cuffed sleeves stood out from Boohoo’s mediocre “Imperial” line, which suffered from being too casual. The jumpsuit took after the line’s military style by resembling a chic flight suit.

A leather jacket was tied around the waist, seeming displaced. The thickness of the jacket seemed clunky around the feminine suit and took away from the overall swanky and polished look of the ensemble. Without the leather jacket, the garment is simply brought in at the waist with a belt of the same fabric tied into a bow. 
Strappy heels elongated the outfits shape creating a dainty look, which accompanied some of the masculine accents that take after a military flight suit.

A plunging neckline created by a wrapped front is cinched at the waist creating pleated details making the one piece intriguing yet simple. The garment creates an hourglass shape with a broad top and loose fitting bottom. However, the ankles are fitted keeping the legs from being too baggy and unflattering. The straight leg also contributes to the femininity of the garment by playing with the silhouette of the typical military flight suit.


Although trendy jumpsuits are usually made to look sleek and polished with chiffon like materials, this suit went against the grain with a cotton polyester blend and a heavy knit, resembling the texture of sweatpants. The breathable fabric does not take away from the garment’s polished factor. However, it contributes to the softness and dainty look of the suit.
