Get A Jump On Spring Jumpers

Leonora EpsteinFebruary 3, 2010 //

We have a hunch that jumpers are going to make another appearance this spring. Our guess: they’ll go less girly and get more edgy. As a preview of what’s to come, we’re looking at this strapless Silence & Noise number, which is slightly sporty thanks to its gray color, but also displays a certain quirkiness through the knotted chest detail. We’d rock this now with tights and flats, then accessorize it boho-style with flowy locks and braided sandals come warmer weather. [$48, Urban Outfitters] Keep reading »

Style 911: How Do I Wear A Jumper Without Looking Like A School Girl?

Lily QNovember 20, 2009 //

“At the end of last year’s winter season I got a super comfy and adorable jumper for a steal ($12!) thinking it would be a fall staple this year. Unfortunately I’m having difficulty wearing it without looking like I’m in elementary school. Any tips on how I can make this look more ‘grown-up’?” – Ekelt2

Having spent 10 years all jumpered-up in Catholic school, I feel your pain. If you don’t want to go quirky with the jumper, take references to other school girl accouterments and turn them on their heads. The school girl undertone will always be there with a jumper, so it’s really a matter of taking that aspect and controlling it. That means skip the mary janes, avoid a plain white blouse and tights should be a little more fun than the stark navy I had to wear back in the days when nuns ruled my wardrobe. The good news is that cutting out these additions still leaves you with quite a lot of other options. Outfit ideas after the jump!

This girl is wearing what I call a “jumper” and others call a sleeveless dress with a shirt underneath. What a wonderful way to wear favorite summer dress during the winter! Just make sure to put on a slip underneath — my tights always create static cling with thinner, unlined skirts. [Weardrobe] Keep reading »

Fashion Slideshow: Totally Wearable Jumpsuits

Annika HarrisJuly 21, 2008 //

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. Keep reading »

Rachel Bilson And Hayden Christensen Are Just Too Cute

Catherine StrawnJanuary 9, 2008 //

Did you see the preview for Jumpers? It seems to be a movie about teleporting and fighting and Hayden Christensen and Rachel Bilson making out. In other words, maybe don’t rush to see it when it hits theaters on Valentine’s Day. But even if the movie doesn’t have a positive impact at the box office, it did bring together one of the cutest couples in Hollywood. Rachel and Hayden taped a PSA for Teens for Jeans, and the outtakes show them at their most adorable. [YouTube] Keep reading »
