A shopping guide to … joyful jumpsuits

·2 min read



The jumpsuit has shifted from an item favoured by only the fashion-committed to a staple loved by all. Frankly, this change is long overdue. There is only one downside to this versatile piece – having to disrobe to go to the loo.

There are loads to choose from on the high street: the everything jumpsuit for work or play (Omnes); the event jumpsuit, which adds a bit of glamour (J Crew); and a casual one for when your day consists of sofas and box sets (People Tree).

Renting a jumpsuit offers an opportunity to play with different eras, the kind that designers tend to reference. Thrifting is a mixed bag: you may be lucky and find a curio that has that retro feel. Buy now, dress up with jewellery, add shoes and – this is the genius of a jumpsuit – that’s it: you’re good to go.

    Life360 (LIFX) CEO Chris Hulls joins Yahoo Finance to discuss how the app has transformed beyond its baseline location services. As a top location-sharing app on the market, Hulls tells Julie Hyman and Josh Lipton that the app is "not just about safety, but a sense of connection." Besides location services, the company is also able to track driving behavior and help families handle emergency situations by providing in-app emergency assistance. Life360 has additionally expanded to devices, providing its location services for everything from keys to pets. "Our belief is that location is going to be in everything and is very much the early days," Hulls explains. As millennials become parents, mobile devices increasingly play a role in parenting, contributing to Life360's growth. Following the popularization of Apple's (AAPL) Find My iPhone, Hulls explains that Life360 provides a "richer interface" with more detailed information. He adds that the app is not just for families with teenage kids, as Life360 is ultimately about "staying in touch with the people closest to you."
