Rompers: How to Wear the Grown Up Onesie

Rompers is one of those trends that’s hard to pull off if you’re over the age of, well, 22. We’re not saying that you can’t pull it off, just that’s it’s hard because the style is very much like a grown up onesie.
Tips for Wearing a Romper/Playsuit
- Limit your accessories to one key piece (bold statement necklace, embellished headband, etc)
- To dress it up, add a pair of pumps or for a more casual look, add a pair of caged sandals
- If you’re bit top heavy, look for versions with straps or sleeves, so you’re able to wear a bra for support.
“SOME PRODUCTS ARE NO LONGER BEING SOLD”
If you are of a certain age, jumpsuits will make you think of Donna Summer, Charlie’s Angels, and/or skating to “Rock With You” at the roller rink. However, it seems if it’s spring of 2009 (and it is) jumpsuits are one of at least the top 10 trends. Maybe top 5. Of course, last year they tried to bring back the romper. Did you buy one? We didn’t, and quite frankly, we don’t regret it.
Still, the more we see it, the more we’re thinking that if you are fashion-confident enough to pull it off, the modern jumpsuit could be quite chic. The key? Rich fabric and subtle, neutral hues (forget the velour, Juicy-wanna-be, hot pink versions), and modern accessories to assure that your look stays well out of the throwback/retro 70s territory – bib necklaces and gladiator sandals are at the top of our list.
Whilst some are jumping for joy (geddit?) at the return of the jumpsuit, others are wondering exactly how one is supposed to go about making bathroom
