Let’s face it, once the wedding day is over, most bridesmaid dresses never see the light of day again. Enter the allure of the jumpsuit, which can be worn again and again, long after a trip down the aisle. Once reserved for men’s workwear, jumpsuits have transformed into impossibly chic, utilitarian staples, gracing the catwalks of major fashion houses like Chanel and Jean-Paul Gaultier in recent seasons. Style expert Beverly Osemwenkhae of ProjectBee agrees. “Jumpsuits are a great alternative for a cocktail dress. They’re quite modern and non-traditional. Sometimes it’s nice to step outside the box and try something new.”
There are a few things to consider when selecting the right jumpsuit, including whether you want a more tailored, fashion-forward look or a breezy, drapey style. Pastel or neutral hues work well for spring weddings, while a matte-satin fabric works best for a structured, power boss bridal party. “Sexy and chic, jumpsuits can easily be styled up,” she adds, noting that jumpsuits work especially well for city weddings and venues where the attire is more cocktail rather than black tie.
Here, we’ve selected some of the best bridal party jumpsuits to make a statement down the aisle, as well as expert advice on sizing, materials, and how to accessorize the look.
Best Color Range
Birdy Grey Gigi Convertible Jumpsuit
With 28 color choices, you’re bound to find the right hue and undertone to fit your wedding color palette in any season. The fully-lined, sweetheart bodice cinches at the waist and includes built-in boning and bra cups for support, plus convertible straps (with an option to go strapless or one shoulder). The front straps are made extra long for easy hemming (depending on how you want to style it) and wearers rave about the overall fit. Pair with rose gold accessories and flesh-toned heels.
Size: XS-3X | Materials: Polyester | Length: Floor Length
Best Pleated Wide Leg
Ieena For Mac Duggal Pleated Satin Wide Leg Jumpsuit
For a modernized ‘70s look, try this festive, satin jumpsuit from Ieena from Mac Duggal. We’re loving the chartreuse color and the regal, jeweled-tone blue, as well as the heart-shaped bodice. The pleated wide leg style features a touch of flair at the ends (plus it has pockets!) and wearers remark on the fabric’s comfortability and weight. It’s a good balance between formal and partywear, so you can go from ceremony to the dance floor with ease.
Size: 0-14 | Materials: Pleated Satin | Length: 62 ½”

Wildfang The Empower High Waisted V-neck Jumpsuit
We’ve fallen head over heels (or combat boots) for this new pleated jumpsuit in dusty rose by Wildfang –– an inclusive, Portland-based brand specializing in all-gender jumpsuits. They’re climate neutral certified and specialize in quality jumpsuits, so not only are you supporting a small business, but also making an eco-conscious purchase. With its tailored, high-waisted fit, high collar, and four pockets, it can easily go from streetwear style to ultra-cool evening wear, depending of course on how you style it.

Best Matte Satin
Fame and Partners The Thais
This matte satin jumpsuit from Fame and Partners comes with personalized length tailoring, on seam pockets, and a wide selection of color options, including dark tan, navy, dark tan, navy, ivory, ruby red, black, lilac, and hot pink. You can even order a color/fabric swatch for $2 to make sure it has the right undertones for the overall wedding color palette. We’re loving the draped neckline and adjustable straps, and the fact that it’s made-to-order from a zero waste-dedicated brand.

Most Tailored Look
A.L.C Kieran II Jumpsuit
For an all-white bridal party with a sexy tailored look, this Kieran II Jumpsuit takes the win. But to be honest, this would also look amazing as a singular bridal wear, too. It’s a beautifully cut jumpsuit with a wide, detachable belt that ties at the natural waistline, producing a structured silhouette. “A.L.C makes beautiful jumpsuits. They're also very classic styles that I can wear now and in 5 years,” says stylist Beverly Osemwenkhae. Pair this look with white or metallic ankle-strap heels for a power walk down the aisle.
Size: 00-14 | Materials: 70% Triacetate 30% Polyester | Length: Long
Best Draped Front
Fame and Partners The Nova
We’re loving the fresh dandelion color of this elegant jumpsuit by Fame and Partners, but it also comes in an array of other shades, including sage green, warm blush, bright iris, and dark nude.
The crisscross back straps and draped wrap neck style look impossibly chic in the matte satin fabric and you’re sure to find a hue that works for you. Plus, the jumpsuit is made to order once you fill in your body measurements.
Size: Custom | Materials: Polyester | Length: Formal Maxi
Best Price
Lulus Thinking Out Loud Backless Jumpsuit
At under $60, this backless, wide-leg jumpsuit is not only a steal, but wearers rave about its quality and comfortability. We’re loving the color pop in sultry red or deep hunter green, as well as the wide crisscross back straps and classy silhouette. The waist line has a touch of elastic for a slimming effect across the tummy and hips, and the lined, V-neck bodice is just cut deep enough to show off a little cleavage.
Size: XS-XL | Materials: 95% Polyester, 5% Spandex. Lining: 100% Polyester | Length: Long
Best Flair Leg
Fame and Partners The Benton Jumpsuit
For a vintage-inspired bell bottoms a modern twist, this camisole-style jumpsuit has a fun, flaring effect and a plunging open back with adjustable straps. It’s ankle-length, which means you can show off your evening footwear (strappy sandals for a more casual wedding or matte satin block heels pair well with this). For a spring wedding, try a pastel hue like lavender or oil blue, and for an all-season evening wedding, the forest, teal, and rust shades in matte satin are stunning (there’s also abstract printed options). But just to be sure, you can order a swatch of any color for $2.
Size: | Materials: Polyester | Length: Ankle
Best Jewel Tone
Fame and Partners The Rosalie
We love a good jewel toned jumpsuit and this lapis shade in matte satin fabric is giving regal vibes. The extra wide legs have a flattering, dress-like effect as they cascade towards the ankles and balance beautifully with the draped, camisole style top. Pair with white mules (like the model) or satin block heel sandals and pearl studded earrings to complete the look.
Size: Custom | Materials: Matte Satin | Length: Ankle
Best Satin
Lulus Champagne Satin Jumpsuit
This eye-catching high-halter jumpsuit in champagne is definitely a showstopper. Featuring an elegant tie back and shiny satin fabric, it’s a romantic, modern look for bridal party wear. The only downside is you may not be able to don shapewear underneath, especially with the exposed back and fitted bodice, but it’s an elegant silhouette nevertheless. We’re especially feeling the high-waisted, ankle-length wide leg that pairs well with strappy heels or nude sandals for a beachside wedding.
Size: XS-XL | Materials: Polyester (Lining 4% Spandex) | Length: Ankle Length
Best Side Cut Out
A.L.C Milan Jumpsuit
A brand favorite of style consultant Beverly Osemwenkhae, this Milan Jumpsuit in black crepe features coquettish side cutouts with corset-inspired detailing. The brand recommends sizing up for a more relaxed look, but the good news is the fabric does have a bit of stretch to it and there are adjustable straps. The chic silhouette pairs well with metallic mules and statement jewelry for a standout look.
Size: 00-14 | Materials: Stretch Crepe | Length: Full
Best Tuxedo Style
Black Halo Lena Strapless Tuxedo Jumpsuit
This strapless tuxedo-style jumpsuit designed by Laurel Berman for Neiman Marcus is ideal for a black tie affair (because why save the tuxedos for the groomsmen only?). We’re loving the satin panels, front pockets, and fitted bodice for a clean, tailored look. Pair with matte black heels and minimalist jewelry to complete the classic look.
Size: 0-14 | Materials: Nylon, viscose, and spandex | Length: Full
Best Front Slit
Susana Monaco Spaghetti Strap Slit-Front Jumpsuit
For some sultry leg action, we’re obsessed with this jumpsuit designed by Susana Monaco featuring thigh-high front slits and a V-neckline. It comes in three shades (black, blanched almond, and pumpkin), and the flattering, ruched fabric at the waist combined with a fluid fit means a dreamy walk down the aisle. Pair the almond color (more of a creamy beige) with gold accessories and strappy, flesh-colored heels.
Size: | Materials: Nylon and Spandex | Length: Ankle
Best Halter
ASOS Style Cheat Tie Waist Satin Jumpsuit
For an effortlessly chic look, this silver satin jumpsuit features smooth, drapey fabric with a touch of shine. We’re loving the twist, halter-neck style and tie waist (so it’s moderately adjustable to suit different figures) and it’s not too form fitting like some of the others in the roundup. Modern and bold, you can dress it up with strappy metallic heels and a jeweled-encrusted clutch.
Size: 2-12 | Materials: Polyester | Length: Full
Best Slip Style
Norma Kamali Low Back Slip Jumpsuit
A classic slip never goes out of style. The rounded, plunging back of this slip jumpsuit by Norma Kamali is both captivating and sultry, and wearers rave that the stretch fit is also super flattering. There’s a touch of flair at the end of the drapey pants and we recommend pairing this with color pop heels (something to complement the undertone of the overall wedding color palette) and chunky gold accessories.
Size: XXS–XL | Materials: 95% poly, 5% spandex | Length: Full
Best Print
Lulus Floral Print Bell Sleeve Wide-Leg Jumpsuit
This breezy, floral jumpsuit is ideal for a destination summer wedding. Featuring teal, rust, and creamy hues across lightweight satin fabric and free-flowing sleeves, it’s the right balance between dressy and casual for seaside nuptials. Plus, the elasticized waistband and wide-leg style allows for slight size flexibility, but the fabric itself has no stretch. Works best with a warm wedding color palette.
Size: XS-XL | Materials: Polyester | Length: Full
Best Strapless
A.L.C Elsie Jumpsuit
And last but not least, we had to add a tailored, strapless option to the mix and this jumpsuit by A.L.C is just too good to pass up. The glace or black options work well for formal nuptials and we’re loving the bone corsetry and pleated wide legs. The black version is also on sale right now and the brand advises to size up since it tends to run a bit small.
Size: 00-14 | Materials: 70% Triacetate 30% Polyester | Length: Full

What to Look for in a Bridal Party Jumpsuit
Silhouette
First, decide whether you want a wide leg or straight leg jumpsuit, which will determine the overall silhouette. “You want to focus on a cut that works on different body shapes,” says Beverly. “A one shoulder is usually a style that works for many shapes, and you can also easily wear a bra for support. A wide leg jumpsuit is definitely a go-to or a jumpsuit with a train feels very elevated,” says Beverly. “A full wide leg jumpsuit is also very flattering.” This pleated, ultra-wide leg from Ieena for Mac Duggal drapes similarly to a dress, as well as this ankle-length option from Fame and Partners.
Length
A full or ankle-length jumpsuit works best for a bridal party. Steer clear of midi lengths.
Neckline
“A sweetheart neckline [like this Gigi Convertible jumpsuit] is a cut that works for most women,” says Beverly. “A sheath cut is also very flattering and forgiving to the body,” she adds.
