Sara Davies swapped Wimbledon whites for olive green as she enjoyed a visit to SW19 on Wednesday. Only the night before, she'd asked her Instagram followers for advice on what to wear - and I was quietly hoping she might choose this eye-catching jumpsuit!
It's the Florere Tie Front Sleeveless Wide Leg Jumpsuit, which is available to buy at John Lewis. The adjustable tie front and pleated trousers make it incredibly floaty and flattering, plus the cotton fabric is spot on for a hot day like today. Oh, and as Sara happily pointed out when she tried it on, "it's got pockets!"
A jumpsuit is an extremely chic alternative to a dress for event season, and they make getting ready in the morning so easy. All you need is a pair of shoes and a bag (Sara picked Fairfax & Favor for both) and voilà, you're good to go.

At £228, this all-in-one is an investment piece, but don't you think it looks designer? And it's an entire outfit in one go. The wide straps mean you can hide your best bra underneath, plus the zip only starts around your bra line at the back, which makes it much easier when it comes to going to the loo! The colour is simply stunning.
Fairfax & Favor is a Royal Family favourite, and this bag is rather appropriately named the 'Windsor'. The stone and tan colour combination is a classic that will work with any outfit, and it's got a detachable shoulder strap that can be worn across the body, too.
Finding comfortable heels can be a struggle, to say the least, but these are made from buttery Italian leather and have a blocky heel that won't sink into grass. Tan accessories are a much softer choice than black for the summer months.

If you prefer a bit of shoulder and upper arm coverage, this tailored jumpsuit might just work for you. The gold metal detailing on the belt means you can forego any jewellery, and it's also available in a pretty burgundy-brown colour.
This heatwave-ready jumpsuit is made from breathable cotton and needs only a pair of flat sandals and swept-up hair to be ready for whatever temperatures the Great British weather decides to throw at you.
British clothing brand Nobody's Child might be more famous for wedding guest dresses, but their jumpsuits are well worth checking out, too. This one's got bra-friendly straps, a flattering square neckline and a tie belt to cinch you in at the waist.
Olive green was clearly the colour of the day at Wimbledon. Sara matched Ruth Langsford, who looked very polished in a lime green tailored trouser suit from Reiss, as the pair posed together in their coordinating ensembles.
Sara had three contenders when deciding what to wear to Wimbledon - aside from the jumpsuit she chose, she also tried on this Florere jumpsuit in cobalt blue, as well as the emerald green Lace Detail Cotton Midi Skirt and matching Cotton Top from the same brand. She added the Golborne sunglasses by Royal Family favourite Finlay to complete the look.

The Dragons' Den star said: "Well, that just shows you... [the green jumpsuit] was my least favourite, but now I've got it on, I think I'm here for that."
The beauty of a jumpsuit is that you don't need to spend the day tucking tops into trousers or readjusting your dress, making it the easy one-and-done answer to any summer wardrobe dilemma.
