As the winter comes to a close and spring comes knocking, we all can’t wait to feel the warm rays of the sun on our skin once again. Sunny days have their magical appeal on the way we look and dress. When the sun hits your hair right, you practically glow and even the simplest attire makes you look glamorous.
But it’s not always so easy. With so many clothes choices in your wardrobe this summer, you might practically spend long hours looking for the best outfit and accessories for the day. Much like Hawaiian leis with their captivating charm and effusive joy, your summer attire should also bring out the best in you. This summer is all about comfort, simple lines, and daring cuts that make a bold statement while making you look more chic and elegant than ever. And one of the best items of summer clothes that fit this bill is the romper.
A Romper vs. a Jumper vs. a Jumpsuit
A romper is a comfortable summer dress where the top and bottom pieces are stitched together to make one piece. It’s different from both a jumper and a jumpsuit in many ways. For starters, a jumper is a sleeveless dress that comes in one piece and is often worn on top of a blouse, a shirt, or a T-shirt. Since the top and bottom are attached, the jumper often has suspenders at the front which give it a certain elegance as a summer dress.
A jumpsuit on the other hand is also a one-piece unit where the shirt or blouse and pants are sewn together. The trousers come in different cuts to suit every figure and body size. If you have a pear-shaped body, then wide legs are an excellent choice. Wear them with high heels to show off your best points. You can also choose a jumpsuit where the top has different patterns from the bottom but they both compliment each other.
And finally, we have the romper. It’s also a one-piece made out of two pieces. But unlike the jumpsuit or jumper, it’s much looser, less formal, and more comfortable. Moreover, it consists of a blouse or shirt at the top and a bottom made of bloomer pants or shorts. Nothing says casual attire on a bright summer day like the romper.
Besides their comfort and casual appeal, rompers are quite easy to mix and match with other clothing items. From denim jackets and cardigans to beachwear, casual mornings, and loungewear, your romper will be a staple of your summer wear this year.
How to Wear a Romper
Before you start shopping for rompers, you need to know which one best suits your body shape and size. Because of their daring cuts, a romper can end up being more revealing than you had anticipated. If you have a long torso or legs, then an extended romper is the best one for you. It doesn’t have a high crotch and will keep you comfortable and confident throughout the day. For smaller bodies, you can pick a petite romper that hugs your hips and reaches the middle of your thighs.
I mentioned that rompers can have patterns and those patterns can be different on the top from those on the bottom. Wearing patterned rompers can be a little tricky especially if you wear them on the wrong occasion. These rompers are more suited to festivals, casual excursions, and brunches with close friends. They don’t require accessories and are by themselves cheerful enough to spend a good summer morning out and about.
Rompers also come with long pants. Admittedly, these long-legged rompers are not for every woman or work for every event. They tend to have a bohemian look and give you a carefree yet assertive and confident look. You’ll have to feel comfortable wearing them to get the best look you’re going for. You can try out the rompers with tapered legs for more formal events. They have an upscale appeal that makes them a good replacement for soiree dresses or even evening gowns.
Rompers and high heels go together. In fact, it seems that the original designs of the rompers had high heels in mind. Even the recent incarnations of the romper, especially those with long and tapered legs, are specifically tailored for high heel sandals. So much so that, you can spend the whole day in a patterned romper then in the evening change into high heels and that’s all you need to start a fun night out in the same romper. That just shows how versatile and multi-purpose those casual summer clothing items can be.
But what if you don’t want to wear high heels with a romper for a brunch or just spend a casual morning in town? Luckily, rompers look just as elegant with sneakers as they do with high heels. Sneakers are casual and comfortable too which is the very essence of what rompers are all about. When you combine those two pieces together, you’re all set to have an enjoyable day with friends wherever you want to go.
Rompers combine elegance and comfort as only a few summer casual outfits can. You can wear them any way you like to have the look that matches the occasion and time of day. And if you want to accent your waist, just wrap a belt around your rompers and strut your stuff with the new sexy chic look.
