What is a Jumpsuit?

A jumpsuit is an all-in-one garment comprising trousers and a sleeved top in one piece, which is now a on-trend item in the fashion world. The life of the jumpsuit started as a protective garment, or uniform for parachuters and skydivers literally jumping out of planes. Pilots and professional drivers also adopted this outfit for their own lines of work. It made the transition into the fashion world much later on and is now a staple for many and can be found in a range of different cuts and fabrics.
