I ticked off some satisfying resolutions in 2025, wardrobe-wise. After much searching, I finally found the perfect leopard print coat, I mastered the art of buying the most comfortable trainers, and I navigated tricky dress codes like Royal Ascot and what to wear to Wimbledon. Well done, me.
But I think this £199 jumpsuit from Phase Eight is my biggest achievement, and it’s not too late to make it a highlight of your year, too.

The only downside I can find about this jumpsuit is that fastening the zip down the back can feel a bit like a yoga class. It’s not the easiest, but I’ve found there are always plenty of ladies willing to help in the loos! See, a chic jumpsuit and a conversation starter, what more could you ask for?
And don’t just take my word for it. The jumpsuit has a four and a half star rating on the Phase Eight site, and customer reviews include one, who wrote: “Love this! Got so many lovely comments. Perfect for a black tie event.”
Another said: “It’s for my trendy mum (nearly 70 years young!) to wear to my wedding. Dress code: cocktail wear. Quality thick material (it’s a December wedding) and probably best of all, it has pockets!!!! With some bright pink kitten heels and at 5′ 6″, the legs need taking up and inch or 2. It’s a stunning piece. Recommend.”

Open-toe or pointed heels work well with a tuxedo jumpsuit, and the lovely thing about an all-black outfit is that if you want to, you really can go to town on accessories.
Personally, I like to keep my jumpsuit simple and classic, but you can add silver or gold jewellery (or both!), plus a colour pop clutch bag to complete the look.
