Do I love Jumpsuits?

Posted By: Christy Bamber

I’ve long been a fan of the jumpsuitway before they were available anywhere and everywhereand even have a full section of closet devoted to my collection.

This is my newest edition to the jumpsuit collection. No, not rented, but available at TopShop right now. The bag is Rented! Direct from Bag Borrow or Steal. This Chanel wallet on chain (WOC) was the sunshine in my palm tree onesie. I added a bit of snake in the palm jungle with the python Pierre Hardy peeptoe shoes.

Jumpsuits (and their shorter friend, the romper) have been in vogue for a few years now, and show no sign of moving out of the spotlight: from dressed down to black-tie-worthy, designers as varied as Dior, Pucci and Ralph Lauren all sent their versions of the ubiquitous outfit down the runway for spring 2015.

This year’s twist took a more industrial approach to the all-in-one outfit, with lots of straps, oversize buttons and extra-long zippers in evidence.

When romping around in the jumper, adding a jacket can be practical for weather conditions without killing the look. Jumpsuits are begging you to add to them, so make sure you do. It’s cooler than a pantsuit and more versatile than a dress. The effort of matching top to bottom is all taken care of, even before you open up your closet door.

Rompers make for great travel day outfits. You can still feel comfortable on your long flights but no need for an outfit change when you land. You’re ready to go and explore!

Another great trick for the romper is add tights for evening look. So easy to dress up or down, it’s also the perfect day-to-night look: undo a few buttons, swap out flats for heels.

Guessing how to dress for an afternoon brunch? Wear a jumper. Take extra accessories in your bag like a fancy necklace, or pair of jeweled heels. If you are feeling underdressed, just add the glam accessories and voila you are right on point for the luncheon. Jumpsuit make a multi-event day a breeze without requiring a major change.

This sheer black BCBG Runway jumpsuit is my favorite black-tie onesie. Pile on the accessories and you have a unique hit for the party.

If you dare, choose a sexy cutout look like Balmain’s from this season, and you’re good to go!

A girl can have a jumpsuit crush! And this Balmain is my current love. No matter what type of jumpsuit you decide to rock, it’s important you make it your own. I’ve seen this beauty on numerous celebs the last month, and each one has their own take on it. A jumpsuit is a pretty canvas, it’s your job to find the perfect frame for it with the bag, shoes and jewelry.

My secret for any jumper– the almighty belt. A belt can completely change the look of any jumper. If you rent one and think you are disappointed, don’t give up– find a fabulous belt.
