Why We Love The Jumpsuit
This one piece wonder will make dressing for warmer weather seem as easy as apple pie. Polka dots, stripes, monochrome … pick your pleasure and you’ll be set. Wearing one is incredibly comfortable and versatile. You’ll be floating in and out of summer BBQs feeling fashionably content.
Jumpsuits have been around for years and are usually easy to find at vintage clothing shops, both walk-in and virtual ones. Fit is key. The waist should be cinched at the smallest part of your waist or right below it for the most flattering fit. We all have different figures, so one jumpsuit may fit a girlfriend perfectly while another may fit you the best. Try different types of styles to see what works: short, wide-leg, cuffed at the ankle, sleeveless, or even overalls. Many jumpsuits currently available also have a drawstring at the waist, which helps one attain a crisp, tailored fit.
Going to the office? Throw on a blazer and some pointed toe heels. Off to the beach? Jumpsuits makes lovely cover-ups. Once you find your favorite style it will be a go-to gem in your closet. Have fun!

This is a beautiful round-up of the versatility of a trend. The added accent pieces play up or down the formality and cuteness of a jumpsuit/romper. Each ensemble maintains an individual attitude fit for multiple occasions.
