When I was in nursery school, my mom always dressed me in overalls because they were easy to take on and off. That is until she came home from a shopping trip, and I exclaimed, “Openwalls, openwalls, all the time openwalls. What do you think I a farmer?” Well now, I’m totally loving this trend. NOT overalls, but the more adult, updated version of the jumpsuit because it’s just as easy to wear as a dress. The secret is in the proportions, fit and fabric. And of course accessories play a part—jewelry and a handbag will keep the look more chic, less Air Force flight suit.
Jumpsuits, jumpers, rompers. Whatever you call them, there’s no denying that they can be sexy and playful. But please take my advice: the moment you feel the urge to relieve yourself, head to the ladies’ room, especially if your jumpsuit is a button-up. Trust me, you’ll avoid doing the “pee pee dance” and possible public mortification.

i own a nonsilky more cottony version of the 2nd jumpsuit and i wear it with super high wedges for a night out. i put my hair in one of those super high ponytails with a poof in the bang area (i have lonnnng bangs) and i pop the collar. it looks SO cute with a pair of gold hoops.
then for a more casual look i throw on some glatiaors and hot sunglasses. i let my hair do it’s natural wave and maybe throw in a tiny clip to swipe my bangs to the side or even if i’m really enthusiastic…one of those side braids…and i’m set for a day of errands and even work! (i work in real estate so it’s a little more casual).
love this jumpsuitttttt

The 2nd and 5th ones are cute with the booty shorts and heels… but some of those are really dreadful (esp #3). It’s no wonder men hate the vast majority of women’s fashion trends.

lol sometimes we forget the main point of men’s view of fashion is to look sexy or hot. chic ....meeeeh what’s that?! for ex: why are you wearing a bandage on your head?(scarf or thick headband), why is your shirt falling off? (off the shoulder style shirt, is your shirt 3 sizes too big? (the t shirt style dress)...the list goes on and on.

@LovesIt I really love numbers 2 and 5 also. I don’t really think #5 is that bad. It totally works if you’re in a genii kind of mood. Also, very rarely do I get dressed for the random men on the street, so I really don’t care whether they like a new trend I’ve chosen to partake in. I dress for myself.
