A jumpsuits or romper is a garment that incorporates both the top and bottom in one piece. It was originally referred to as the utilitarian one-piece garments. The first jumpsuit was designed in 1919 by Florentine Thayat, as a futuristic and subversive outfit and many years later, the jumpsuit, whether in full-length form or in an abbreviated romper style, still seems to be the calling card of a gutsy lady. With so many types and designs available today, almost any woman can find a jumpsuit that will make her look smart and sophisticated. It’s all about finding the right fit and style for you.

Styling
The jumpsuit is a versatile piece of clothing every woman should have and wear during any season. If anything, a basic jumpsuit is a great base that can be layered with a jacket or blazer to create a perfect work look. There’s nothing like a jumpsuit to whittle down your morning what-to-wear routine. It doubles perfectly as an after-work wear as you can ditch the blazer or jacket and your look is transformed effortlessly from day to night. Giving the illusion of a top and bottom, it’s completely unfussy, as you never have to worry about your blouse staying tucked in, and it feels perfectly polished for the office. When choosing your own 9-to-5 jumpsuit, be conscious of the fit, think tailored and not too tight or clingy. You’ll want to leave the body-hugging numbers for your off-duty hours. You can use a belt in your midsection area to create the illusion of a snugger waistline.

While some people believe rompers should be reserved for toddlers, we have some ideas on how to make the piece safe for adults. You’ll want to make sure it fits perfectly, so visit the tailor if needed, you can have it taken in a bit at the waist for a more flattering look. Also make sure the hemline hits around the ends of your fingertips to avoid any onesie comparisons. Everyone is wearing a jumpsuit but if you follow these easy tips, you will look flawless even if you have never worn one before. We have put together some pictures to inspire your next look, so feel free to copy any of these looks.
