There are so many ways to dress "fair". When we take the fairdare, we commit to doing our best to wear what we have, mend + repair, refashion, thrift, make or buy fair. Those last three choices are what I'd like to explore with a fair/make series. Some of us love to sew + some of us prefer to purchase ready made garments. Searching for these fair garments on resale sites is a great way to use what already exists + to pay a little less. 

All of these jumpsuits are lovely, fair choices. I love to support creative makers like those in the left column (lots more here). A secondhand or vintage find attests to a quality of fabric + craftsmanship (+ makes me feel so lucky!). I also like to exercise my own creativity, so it can be fun to consider talented pattern makers' designs like those in the right column (more indie pattern designers here). I love the ease of all-in-one dressing, so let's take a look at a few fair options for jumpsuits.

Some of these jumpsuits would make cozy choices for the cold months still ahead here in the northern hemisphere. I love the versatility of sleeveless jumpsuits. Cool + breezy in summer months...they can also be perfectly cozy with a layer underneath +/or over top.

Chosen with care, a jumpsuit can be worn casually or dressed up with a change of footwear +/or layer. Worn with heels or pretty flats + a velvet jacket...one of these could scew quite formal. Worn with sandals or trainers + a tee underneath...it could be just right for more casual occasions.

Linen can work for colder months with the addition of tights underneath, as necessary. I love the overalls on the right made up in denim with classic buckles too.

The zipper at the front of this Ilana Kohn jumpsuit makes it supremely functional + inspirational. The sturdy denim would withstand lots of wear + look fantastic fading + patched too.

Swingy, breezy, beautiful. Again...layer under or over...dressy or casual...ultimate comfort in any case.

I like how these two jumpsuits highlight how different fabrics (here in corduroy + knit), different closures, sleeve lengths, width of pants, application of drawstring, shape of pockets can completely change the look + function of a jumpsuit.

Again, check resale sites for second-hand versions. Jumpsuits are great basics in a simple wardrobe. ​So many style options. So many options to keep them fair.  :)
