A How-To Guide: Jumpsuits and Rompers:
Jumpsuits have been around for decades while rompers are more of a recent trend, yet both are staple pieces for any fashion conscious woman looking to go chic for Spring/Summer 2012. Today, the styles have changed, but the jumpsuit and romper is back and more glamorous than ever. This look flatters most figures by creating a slimming effect and can be either casual or sophisticated, depending on the accessories and shoes that are selected to compliment the fit. So how does a woman find a jumpsuit that suits her curves and individuality the best? There are a few things you should consider before purchasing your romper or jumpsuit.

Jumpsuit or Romper?
First, determine which type of suit aesthetically appeals to you most or would fit you the best. A romper is normally a jumper with shorts, while a jumpsuit usually has pants. Both types can either have short sleeves, sleeveless or strapless depending on your style choice. Both types can be worn as a casual fit or for an upscale feel, and can be paired with different accessories to achieve the desired look.

Try It On.
To find a good fit, you should try on all jumper/romper styles and sizes. Each fits completely differently than a dress, a pair of pants, or shorts. If you are looking for a jumpsuit with pants, make sure you check the length to ensure they are not too long or too short. Try them on with flats and heels to get a good idea of the length and if they will need to be hemmed. A tailor is easily accessible if need be so do not count pieces out solely based on length. You should also try to sit down and walk around in the jumper to see if it is too tight to sit or too long when standing. The wrong size jumpsuit can be extremely unflattering. You want to accentuate your shape, not hide or distort it!

Color and Texture.
Floral and prints can be overbearing at times, so depending on the design, it may be best to stick with solid colors as they tend to flatter the figure. Darker colors and jumpers without patterns can minimize anything you may be self conscious about and would prefer to conceal, such as a heavier bottom half or tummy. Choosing the appropriate hue for your shape is extremely important since a jumper can cling to certain areas of the body and each type of fabric—jersey, silk or satin—hugs a woman’s curves in different ways. Solid colors are also best to pair bold accessories with.

Casual and Chic VS. Sexy and Sophisticated
Both jumpsuits and rompers can be casual, depending on the fabric type and the accessories worn with it. To keep your solid print jersey romper cool and casual, wear flat sandals, such as gladiators and minimal jewelry. Throw on a fedora for added flair!
Satin is very sexy and upscale, also perfect for a hot summer night. You’re able to stay cool and still look sophisticated. In order to make this look work the best, pair the satin romper with fun bold accessories, such as a chunky necklace and clutch. Work some high-heeled sandals with this fit to really bring it up a notch!

For a slimming, go anywhere look, a jumpsuit will normally do just the trick. The style is lean and long because of the vertical lines the suit establishes on the body. So the next time you’re worried about what you are going to wear to a outdoor picnic or a nighttime get together, opt for a romper or jumpsuit for a fabulous and simple look.
