I've always seen jumpsuits as formal or even semi-formal. Does this mean the likelyhood of seeing jersey knit jumpsuits more often on femmes? Not if there's a hot look that can go around. Such a garment requires a lovely top portion combined with a nice set of pants altogether as one complete outfit. The most encouraging news for some femmes is that there's no worries of bending over backwards and providing an uncomfortable view from the rear.
I've never hated jumpsuits. I personally wouldn't go for any jumpsuits. I have always considered jumpsuits as a pants alternative to dresses. A jumpsuit has to be every bit as wearable and stylish as a dress. I've best loved palazzo pant jumpsuits. They give you that dress look while being more forgiving as you're wearing pants. I've seen everything from bell bottom jumpsuits to gaucho/culotte jumpsuits (not real fond of gaucho jumpsuits, maybe since seeing a pair offered from Daisy Maze). Blue and red jumpsuits are very nice ones. I usually love any jumpsuit that's dressy and wearable as any regular dress. Black and white are also great choices. If it were up to me, I'd probably go with some kind of halter-type jumpsuit with either bootcut-style or palazzo pant legs.
My imaginary jumpsuit look is this:
* black jumpsuit with a halter neck design
* sparkly accents to add a little glamour
* palazzo pant legs
* strappy, sparkly silver or white sandals
I see jumpsuits as almost completely semi-formal or formal. I do love the McQueen F04 jumpsuit from Post #1.
