EILEEN | One-shoulder wide leg jumpsuit

I honestly expected to look like I was trying too hard. Two people asked me where the skirt was from.

Most women our age gave up on jumpsuits a long time ago, and not for one reason. They pull at the shoulder, they sit wrong in the middle, and the legs are always cut narrow enough that you feel every seam by the end of the evening. So it is a dress again, for the fourth event in a row.

Eileen is cut on one shoulder, which keeps the neckline clean and does the work a necklace usually has to do. From the waist down the legs are wide and flowing, so when you stand still they hang like a long skirt and only reveal themselves as trousers when you walk. The drape runs unbroken from shoulder to hem, which is what makes it read as tall. It comes in black, red, blue, white and green.

Why women our age keep coming back to it

• Wide legs that read as a skirt. The leg is cut full rather than tapered, so it hangs straight from the hip and nothing grips the thigh when you sit.
• One shoulder instead of a necklace. The asymmetric neckline gives the top half a shape of its own, so a plain jumpsuit stops looking plain without any extra effort.
• One piece, one decision. Nothing rides up, nothing comes untucked, and you are dressed for the evening the moment it is on.
• Five colors that go different places. Black and blue for an evening out, white and green for daytime, red for the occasion you actually want to be seen at.

How it fits

Sizes run from S through 2XL and the fit is easy through the body. One-piece garments have to clear both the shoulder and the hip, so if you are between two sizes take the larger one and let the length do the rest. Check the leg length against your usual heel height before you cut anything.

I have not worn trousers to a party in years. This felt like a dress all evening.

The one shoulder worried me and it turned out to be the part I liked most.

Took the black for a cruise dinner. It packed flat and came out fine.
