Pippa Denim Jumpsuit from French Connection

Pippadenim

While denim has been a perennial fabric found in mens and womens wardrobes for decades, there are still some pieces which manage to retain an unmistakeable retro style. This Pippa Denim Jumpsuit from French Connection is a simple style that has an easy-going touch of seventies style.

Imitating the decade that loved to take denim beyond jeans, this shirt and shorts combo jumpsuit treads the line between toughness and cowgirlish femininity well. The stonewash shade, too, has a real early seventies feel that begs for some brown leather accompaniments.
