How To Style And Wear Your Playsuit Pattern
Amidst the name different playsuits patterns, a wrap bodice with V-neckline is the most universally-flattering silhouette of them all - plus, they require zero mental energy to style. The Kylie pattern will effortlessly accentuate the waist and bust, while also helping enhance your curves due to the ultra-slimming effect of the waist.
For a nighttime affair, you can style your favorite playsuit with a pair of lace-u heels (or, even better, this year's trendiest platform heels), add two rows of layer-able, dainty necklaces and opt for your favorite chain bag.
For effortlessly chic, casual ensembles, style the Wrap Playsuit with a pair of sneakers and a saddle or bucket bag. If you are ready to embrace trends, opt for statement-colored loafers or almost-flat mules instead.
