While we love frolicking through the spring and summer in dresses, we're also fans of throw-on-and-go jumpsuits. There's an effortlessness that comes with pulling on a onesie. It not only takes the guesswork out of an outfit, but the pants actually enable you to stride around without fear that you'll accidentally flash passersby. Bike rides, picnics at the park, sprawling on your couch or bed at home, impromptu dance moves, running through the airport — you can do it all with this singular garment. Plus, it's an easy look for the office, casual events, the airport, or even upcoming spring weddings.

Ahead, we sourced 13 of the best jumpsuits for women in the highest-rated styles according to customers who are down with a one-and-done day.

Madewell Denim Flare Jumpsuit


Best Denim Jumpsuit

The Hype: 5 out of 5 stars; 3 reviews on FreePeople.com

Those who love pockets and denim 'fits will adore Madewell's Denim Flare Jumpsuit. The all-denim piece is a mix of classic and contemporary with its chic cinched waist and flared bottom.

"I saw a store clerk wearing this jumpsuit & loved it — even risked buying final sale because I couldn't resist! The clerk had me try jeans to figure out the size (curvy high-waisted jeans in size 26, even though I'm usually a size 4 or 27 in other jeans/brands), and she recommended the size 2 in the jumpsuit. I took her advice, and she was 100% right," raves a reviewer. "They arrived today and I never want to take these off! When I first tried them on, I worried the torso was a little short and that they'd ride up in the back or be too fitted to get off my shoulders to go to the bathroom. But, after wearing them for a few hours, they molded into my body."

FP Movement Hot Shot Onesie


Best Jumpsuit To Layer On Top

The Hype: 4.8 out of 5 stars; 1,081 reviews on FreePeople.com

We're here to share the softest and slouchiest jumpsuit you'll ever own. The cozy piece is a must-have for layering, whether before or after a workout or on top of your at-home crewneck. Two reviewers had different approaches to snagging their jumpsuits. One stopped a woman in the street to ask where she got her one-piece, and another contemplated whether she should buy it. Overall consensus: They loved it, and you shouldn't sleep on it.

"While out shopping, I saw a woman wearing this jumpsuit. I complimented her as they looked cute and comfy. After learning it was from Free People, I ordered the French Navy," writes a reviewer. "I was extremely skeptical about sizing down as I typically wear medium, but multiple reviews saying that these overalls run large convinced me to downsize. I’m 5’1”, 129 lbs, and the small is perfect while still having plenty of roomy. Good quality fabric as well. These will be go-to overalls!"

One more reviewer explained, "I contemplated this onesie for so long and wished I didn’t because I always wear it. You can dress it up or down, and it’s cute with just a bralette or sports bra. Seriously great for all seasons, and I want ALL the colors!"

Norma Kamali Slip Jumpsuit


Best Maximalist Jumpsuit

The Hype: 4 out of 5 stars; 52 reviews on Amazon.com

Feast your eyes on a whimsical Norma Kamali jumpsuit that comes in eight additional funky prints and in all-black. Our favorite is the vintage quilt piece because of its bright shades and eye-catching patterns. It's a maximalist's dream.

"The jumpsuit is much prettier in person than in the photo! It fits like a glove. I agree with another reviewer who said that busty girls might need additional support as the top portion doesn't offer much. I can't wait to wear this stunner on my vacation," explains a reviewer. "The fabric Norma Kamali uses packs like a dream. You couldn't wrinkle it if you tried! I also took another reviewer's advice and cut the hem because it has a very long inseam. It came out perfect, and I think the raw hem will hold up fine. I'm so glad I bought this on a whim. This piece is exceptional!"

Best Jumpsuit For Tropical Vacays

The Hype: 3.6 out of 5 stars; 5 reviews

Don't let the 3.6 stars steer you away from this stunning deep-V-neck jumpsuit. The airy floral one-piece is a show-stopper if you're looking for a sheer cover-up on an island trip.

"This jumpsuit is absolutely gorgeous and very flattering! It’s not like anything else I own, and I ordered it with another item to see how it would look, and I love it more than the other item," raves a reviewer. "The colors are so pretty. I can’t wait to wear it!"

Best Jumpsuit For Elevated Events

The Hype: 4.3 out of 5 stars; 278 reviews on Nordstrom.com

If you love to accessorize, then Julia Jordan's Halter Neck Jumpsuit is the foundational piece you need in your wardrobe. The chic garment has an elegant halter neck that cascades into comfy wide legs that are beautiful. However, a tote bag and shimmering jewelry like pearls, floral earrings, or a chunky ring adds that pop.

"I'm a little curvy, and this fit perfectly. Without the curves, it would still hang beautifully," writes a reviewer. "I can wear this work with a jacket for a stylish business meeting or wear it alone and sparkle it up for a party — such a great deal. I am 5'4" and 125 pounds, happily slipping into the size 4."

"I love this jumpsuit! It's comfortable and flattering. The fabric is light and cool. It's also stretchy, which makes it easy to pull up and down when you have to go to the bathroom — this can be a real pain with some jumpsuits," exclaims a reviewer. "The quality is good. Once again, I love a Max Studio product. They know what they're doing!"

Not to mention that it's super comfortable with adjustable bra-friendly straps, an elasticized back, a removable belt, and a cropped straight leg.

"I have wanted to add to my linen collection, and this jumpsuit did not disappoint. The color and the fit are very flattering. It washed well and feels comfortable against my skin," writes a reviewer. "Although it was a bit large, I washed and dried it to see if it would shrink slightly. I'm unsure if it did, but I am happy with the fit since the belt cinches it perfectly."

The open back gives that sultry touch, while the flare bottoms and mock neck bring a bit of disco flair. This jumpsuit is fairly new, but we bet it'll be only a matter of time till it becomes a fan favorite.

"Absolutely stunning! This is the perfect wardrobe staple, and I don't need to get a wedding guest outfit again any time soon! Like a Little Black Dress in jumpsuit form with a little more 'oompf.' Sizing runs small — I needed two sizes larger than I normally wear with other brands," explains a reviewer.

I have no curves on my lower half, but I found the fit of this jumpsuit to be very flattering," writes a reviewer. "I kept it fully zipped all night as it is stretchy enough to pull up and down quickly, so you don't have to worry about having someone constantly help you zip up. I am a 34C and easily was able to go braless as well, so it's about as comfortable as it gets!"

"I sized up for a slouchy look, but used the smaller waist tab buttons to accentuate my waistline," writes a reviewer. "I love that the fabric isn't so heavy, so I can wear it in the summer and layer up when weather cools down."

Reviewers rave that they didn't want to take it off and trust their judgments after trying it on. It's comfortable and soft with a slightly loose fit making it ideal for chillier days. All you have to do is layer it with a cardigan sweater for a cozy look. 

"Oh my god. The majority of my closet is Madewell and I have to say this is one of the best things I have purchased. It's so insanely comfortable and soft, it feels like wearing pajamas. This is the PERFECT piece for work from home and can transition to wearing it out too," a reviewer exclaims. "I ordered both a S and M to try sizing. For reference, I'm 5'6", 140 lbs, 32C. the S fit perfect but showed a bit more of my stomach (slightly tighter) so I decided to keep the M which is a little baggier and feels more like pajamas to me."

The Hype: 4 out of 5 stars; 39 reviews on Anthropologie.com

Get ready to lounge in style in Daily Practice's The Palmra Jumpsuit. If you're a bit chilly or want to wear it in colder months, the relaxed-fit one-piece lays the groundwork for you to layer with a thin long-sleeve or an oversized sweater.

"I love this jumpsuit. It's super cute; it's a relaxed fit and flowy. But the fabric feels good, and it has some good weight to it," writes a reviewer. "I'm short, on the small side, so I feared it would swallow me. And while it is oversized, it's supposed to be; that's the trend of these loungy jumpsuits. I'm going to enjoy wearing this piece this fall and adding a cardigan as it gets cooler."

M.M.LaFleur The Janet Jumpsuit


Best Staple Jumpsuit

The Hype: 4.5 out of 5 stars; 16 reviews on Mmlafleur.com

M.M.LaFleur is a brand known for its timeless, luxe workwear. The Janet Jumpsuit is a clear example, as it works for various events and still has a polished appearance. Plus, it's wrinkle-resistant, making it a number one choice for those traveling for work and heading to a meeting right after.

"The Janet Jumpsuit is a high-quality one-piece. I’ve worn it super casual and on other occasions with a blazer and heels. I’m generally not a fan of jumpsuits as they are not always flattering and can be challenging to maneuver in the restroom. However, this piece is easy, beautiful, and very versatile. I’ve recently ordered a second one in the other color!" writes a reviewer.

Anthropologie The Somerset Jumpsuit


Best Flowy Jumpsuit

The Hype: 5 out of 5 stars; 7 reviews on Anthropologie.com

If you've been following the Shopping Team's fashion reviews, you'll know that the Anthropologie Somerset Collection is one of our faves. The signature silhouette comes in a variety of materials, from linen to velvet. Now we're eyeing the jumpsuit version that exudes the same flowiness as the maxi dress.

"This is a super stretchy, natural cool material. It's easy to wear, you step into it from the top. It's a little low, so you may need a bralette or something underneath depending on how comfortable you are," writes a reviewer. "It looks good with a belt or without one-- it's cinched enough around the waist to work either way, and I'm pretty busty, so more often than not I can't find jumpsuits that follow my curves but this one does. Wear it with colored heels or earrings!"

Best Everyday Jumpsuit

The Hype: 4.3 out of 5 stars; 32 reviews on Abercrombie.com

Abercrombie & Fitch designed the ultimate all-around versatile one-piece that works for various occasions — and the design is quickly grabbing the attention of jumpsuit enthusiasts.

"I’m obsessed with this jumpsuit! The fit is amazing. The waistband is smaller so it hugs you in all the right places. I honestly wasn’t expecting to like the material but I actually really do like it. It’s lightweight that this won’t be too hot to wear in the summer, and I can wear it now with a jean jacket or sweater," writes a reviewer. "I can’t wait to wear it and get it in more colors! Seriously if you were debating to get this DO IT. It’s seriously the cutest thing ever."

Plus, it's smooth and made out of a high-stretch fabric that wicks sweat, so dance to your heart's content.

"This is such a flattering fit onesie. My only regret is not going with the tall. While I’m 5’4 and these are technically the perfect length and don’t drag on the floor (maybe an inch or inch and half above the floor), I do prefer my flare bottoms to have that lengthier look so it doesn’t look short when paired with a bulky shoe," explains a reviewer.

"I bought this in silver for a winter gala, and loved it! I normally wear a 14/16 in Eloquii sizing and went up to an 18 for this and I’m so glad I did. It fit great and was so comfortable. I’m 5’6 and the length was perfect with a short heel. I got so many compliments," a reviewer shares. "The piece did snag quite a bit. That’s to be expected for a full sequined piece, but I dropped a star only for that reason. I was leaving a trail of sequins everywhere I went. If you’re not a subtle dresser and want to wear something fun, go for it!"

I Put Plus-Size Activewear From Popular Brands To The Test

Years of body negativity brought on by the latest fad diet or fitness craze have made my relationship with exercise a rocky one. Growing up, I was surrounded by “Beach Body” boot camps and personal training programs that signified largeness as something to be lost. But, years later in adulthood, I found positivity in hiking and a sense of calm in yoga flows. I discovered that breaking a sweat could be an enjoyable escape instead of about how many calories I might burn. Since I spent so much time feeling like physical activity was a punishment, I didn’t jump to spend my money on new fitness clothes — plus, options for plus-size retailers who do it right were already limited which made finding quality brands with inclusive activewear tricky. But, as the industry began to acknowledge bigger bodies, well-made and fashionable options started to emerge in the plus-size activewear space. And, I was lucky enough to receive a handful of such styles from the most popular brands to try on myself for size, fit, and feel.

Although my relationship with exercise today is not completely healed, it’s become one with a very real glimmer of hope as I learn to be thankful for my body and appreciative of all it does for me. So, without further ado, scroll through to learn about my favorite activewear offerings for fat folk with stand-out product reviews of the brands I tried on IRL and loved — I’ll continue to add more styles worth sharing with you as I discover them. Let’s say goodbye to the duds we once wore in darker times and hello to more size-equitable styles of sports bras that won’t dig, trendy printed sets, and unique silhouettes meant to highlight our bodies instead of hiding them.

Super Fit Hero

Size Range: L-7XL or 12-42
SuperFit Hero has revolutionized the activewear space in more than one way. Not only does it exclusively cater to a size large and up, but the brand’s use of Plus Models on the larger end of the plus-size spectrum also shows how seriously SuperFit Hero takes representation.

I tried on the Superhold pocket bike shorts and Superhold bra in their Air Fit Size (2X or 18-20). The Superhold fabric is very compressive in all the right ways. There is zero gaping and the bike shorts hold up during squats, stretches, high knees, and jogging. I love the color blocking in the set that I reviewed, but Superhold goods are also available in solid colors as well.

Shop Super Fit Hero

Athleta

Size Range: XXS-3X or 00-26
As a certified B-Corp, Athleta prioritizes people just as much as business. It definitely shows in each garment with the obvious care they took to create the perfect fit. I tried on the Exhale Bra and the Elation 7/8 Tight. The fabric felt sturdy and thick while also being incredibly smooth and soft to the touch and on the body. The ultra-high rise on the Elation Tight is probably the highest I’ve ever experienced, and the set is compressive without feeling restrictive. There’s a pretty deep waistband pocket in the back that you can slide your keys and wallet into as well. The Exhale bra curved perfectly around my back rolls and gave me the perfect lift. The thoughtfulness of the design really shines through.

The leggings passed the squat test with flying colors with a waistband that doesn’t dig. Although the exhale bra and elation tights are recommended for lower-impact workouts like yoga and Pilates, they held up when I did some high knees and light jogging in place. This was definitely my favorite set among all the ones I’ve reviewed, and the print on this is epic! Although, they do have this same set in solid colors as well.

Shop Athleta

lululemon

Size Range: 0-20
Lululemon was quite late to the extended-sized workout-wear party. Although its sizing is limited, the brand does make a solid pair of leggings. It’s worth noting that the top pictured in my snapshot above is not from lululemon, as I did not fit into any of the bras that were sent over. All of this goes to say that further extending on sizes is needed to cater to more bodies on the brand’s part!

Although the Align Pant was my favorite in my
initial review of their extended sizing. I’d have to say the Invigorate High-Rise Tights are my favorite pair of leggings from lululemon now. I’ve owned these for a couple of months now, and I’ve worked out in them AND also wear them to run errands. These are more compressive than the Aligns and hold their original shape more, too. There is still adjusting needed to the waistband after squats, high knees, and running in place — but all in all, I cannot lie, they’re a solid pair of plus-size leggings.

Shop lululemon

Girlfriend Collective

Size Range: XXS-7XL 
Girlfriend Collective has totally revolutionized the activewear space with its eco-friendly, size-inclusive apparel. I tried a few items from Girlfriend and fell in love with this black Skort and Paloma bra set, both in a 4XL. I’m usually a 2X in most of my other activewear, so this tells me that Girlfriend Collective runs pretty small. I’m not sure how the sizing is on straight-sized consumers, but plus consumers should really look at the clothing chart and follow that. For the best fit, Girlfriend Collective recommends measuring yourself and doesn’t offer a conversion chart for pants sizes, so a little bit of work is involved if you’re unsure what size to go with. But it’s pretty accurate! Upon opening the recyclable packaging, the material felt a little on the stiffer side but was still really easy to slip right on. You wouldn’t know that it’s made from upcycled plastic bottles.

I loved the fit and look of the skort! It’s genuinely so cute and falls on my body really nicely. I’d even wear it as a mini skirt for a night of dancing. It held up during activities such as squats, high knees, and running in place. The shorts on the inside had to be adjusted slightly in between some of those activities; I’d also go ahead and use Megababe to prevent any further chafing from the thigh area. As for the Paloma bra, I think I could have sized down for more compression. It was a little loose around the bottom band (I’m a 42DDD in regular bras).  I’d avoid any workouts above low-moderate impact with this bra.

Shop Girlfriend Collective

Old Navy

Size Range XS-4X
I was kindly gifted some pieces from Old Navy’s active line. R29 readers to really be a fan of its offerings, so I had to see what all the hype was about. I received a medium support sports bra and a pair of light compression leggings from their fan-favorite PowerSoft line of activewear. It’s marketed as “peachy-soft” and very comfortable. I definitely agree with this description: It’s smooth and very easy to move in and didn’t feel cheap or scratchy despite being the most budget-friendly option I’ve reviewed for this piece. If you want something ultra-compressive, however, the leggings might not be for you because they are pretty light. However, I don’t see that as an issue as it added to the non-restrictive feeling when wearing it. For the bra, I took out the removable cups because my boobs are on the bigger side. Also, I’m around 5’9″ and the leggings were full-length on me.

I did a series of exercises while wearing this active set including jogging, deep squats, high knees, and stretching. The medium support bra surprisingly held my boobs down pretty well, so I definitely felt supported with slightly higher-intensity movement activities. Although the fabric was slightly thinner than the fabric Athleta (Old Navy’s sister brand) uses, the four-way stretch in the fabric works very well as all these movements happened so seamlessly. While doing these exercises, there was some adjusting of the leggings, but it was pretty minimal. For the price and quality, Old Navy active makes a product that’s genuinely hard to beat. I do really love Athleta, but if you are looking for a solid budget option this is it.

Shop Old Navy

Universal Standard

Size Range: 00-40
Universal Standard is known for its wide range of sizes and perfecting everyday classic staples, but the brand is quickly making a name for itself in activewear. I tried the Next-to-Naked bodysuit in black, and just like the name, it feels akin to a second skin. It has a sort of barely-there feel with little to no compression. It’s buttery soft and honestly can be used for really any workout you’d like. However, if you are doing something more intensive I recommend wearing a sports bra as there is no hold or lift with this bodysuit. If you are someone that prefers wearing no clothes, I’d have to say this is the next best thing!

Besides my Storm costume from a few Halloweens back, I’ve never owned a bodysuit. This piece is definitely something I’d work out in, but I can also imagine myself wearing this with an oversized shacket and platform converse for a cute casual outfit.

Shop Universal Standard

Beyond Yoga

Size Range: XXS-4X or 00-28
Beyond Yoga is definitely a force with their custom Space Dye Performance fabric known to be incredibly smooth with a unique texture. I tried on the Spacedye Slim Racerback Cropped Tank and the Space Dye Caught In The Midi High Waisted Legging in Purple Pop. First off, I was immediately drawn to the fun bright color! If you can get your hand on this seasonal favorite, I highly recommend it. You’ll be the center of attention in the best way!

This set would be good for low-intensity exercises as the top does not hold down your boobs enough to wear it on a run if you are busty. However, it is incredibly comfortable. While doing squats, high knees, and running in place, I did have to adjust the leggings every now and then. Although it wasn’t that bad, it’s something to keep in mind.

Shop Beyond Yoga

Fabletics

Size Range: XXS-4X or 00-24
Fabletics is known for its trendy workout clothes and celeb partnerships. I was excited to get my hands on some of these goods because I’ve seen lots of Fabletics love on Instagram. I tried the All day Everyday Bra and Oasis High Waisted Pocket Legging in a 3X. I love how these leggings have cool side pockets that can definitely fit your phone or keys. The strappiness of the bra was very cute. However, the bra itself was not as compressive as I’d have liked. I’d probably have to size down to get the fit I’d want to do slightly more intensive activities. There was a little adjusting of the leggings while I did squats, high knees, and running in place.

I’d double-check on sizing for Fabletics and even read reviews because the sizing could be a little off compared to what the overall size chart says depending on the garment. Overall the pieces were standard for activewear, but the cool patterns and designs were what stood out the most.

Jo Malone London’s New Spring Scents Are Here — & So Are Our Outfit Pairings

Jo Malone London is a magician when it comes to capturing nostalgic scents in a bottle. Over the years, the brand has created coveted layer-able scents that can transport you to a specific season, place, or memory with one whiff. And after a long mellow winter, Jo Malone London’s limited-edition Blossoms Collection couldn’t have arrived at a better time. The excitement for spring is beginning to seep through the air, and what better way to manifest a fresh start than with four colognes that enhance what we love about the season? Not to mention a fabulous collection of coordinating spring looks, which we’ve created for each scent.

Unlike the signature packaging of Jo Malone London’s classic colognes that are delivered in a tall rectangular bottle with a silver cap, the Blossoms Collection comes in rounded containers with circular tops in whimsical pastels. Each stopper matches the characteristic of its correlating scent, with Osmanthus having a pale orange hue, Nashi a light yellow, Star Magnolia a lilac, and Waterlily with a pastel blue. The four vibrant colognes in the Blossoms Collection come in two sizes: a 50ml for $112 and a 100ml for $158.

And just like how we freshen up our wardrobe each season, the same goes for our perfumes. Your smoky, woody fall and winter cologne needs an airy spring upgrade. Hence, Jo Malone London’s Blossoms Collection has it all if you’re looking for a playful, exotic, fresh, or pristine perfume. Since fragrances can only take you so far, we’ve curated the perfect spring ensembles that physically represent the scent. Are you ready to be a walking human bottle of Jo Malone London’s Blossoms Collection?

Jo Malone London Osmanthus Blossom, $158

Opt for Jo Malone London’s exotic Osmanthus Blossom cologne for a bit of early spring coziness. With notes of apricot, cashmere wood, and orange blossom, the subtle woody scent will gradually hug you like a snug blanket. It’s reminiscent of the first touches of the sun in spring, which we’ll gladly take ASAP.

We’ll welcome any warmth — from the outdoors to our attire — with open arms. That means bursts of sun-kissed orange handbags, suede shoes, and faux leather jackets paired with airy tops. The combination of the cozy suede heels, light warm tone pieces, and bursts of orange are tangible characteristics of Jo Malone London’s Osmanthus Blossom.

Jo Malone London Nashi Blossom, $158

Nashi is designed for all playful fashion enthusiasts who are over the moon about attending social events, from spring weddings to garden dinner parties. The pale yellow-capped cologne harmoniously merges crisp lemon with a hint of pears, white peony, jasmine petals, and a finishing touch of sandalwood. 

When it comes to attire, Nashi lovers will pair glossy pale-green silk dresses with ivory cardigans. The only rule they’re following: Spring has awakened, and they want all the fresh shades correlated with greenery. The fragrance is the finishing touch and adds a bit of liveliness and bounce to your step.

Jo Malone London Star Magnolia, $158

Jo Malone London’s Star Magnolia has a flirtatious aroma like bees to a pot of honey or bouquet. It’ll captivate the people around you and make them ask what perfume you’re wearing. The cologne is a sweet-smelling fragrance that fuses notes of zesty lemon with pristine star magnolia petals. Sandalwood gives that faint warm touch while helping the scent last all day.

Warm weather and the blooming of kaleidoscopic flowers mean more outdoor dates, picnics, and walks in the park instead of being cramped inside. It also means we’ll take any chance to mimic the vibrant lavender, blue, and gold hues of the bountiful flowers outdoors. Take inspiration from the pastel pieces below: floral tops with puff sleeves, golden faux leather jackets, iridescent mules, and must-have denim.

Jo Malone London Waterlily, $158

Although spring brings flowers and sun, the season also delivers dewiness from rain. Waterlily is a clean scent that radiates notes of jasmine sambac, neroli oil from orange blossoms, water lilies, and a faint powdery white musk. One spritz and you’ll get a light aquatic floral aroma that’ll remind you of a meadow after a morning rain shower.

Sky blue and clean white accessories are the essence of this scent. Glide into Free People’s Brigitte Jumpsuit to look like a modern water nymph and elegantly carry your cream-colored M Frame Bag. The Veja sneakers add a contemporary and practical touch.
