Easy Summer Dressing: The Romper


The 7 For All Mankind Boyfriend Shirt Romper.

The season of barbeques, boating, and outdoor music festivals is upon us, and with it comes steamy temperatures and (for this writer, anyway) a desire to minimize effort in all areas possible, including dress. Enter rompers, fashion’s answer to easy summer dressing.

The one-piece playsuit started to creep into collections a handful of seasons ago and came into full-blown ubiquity last summer. This season, designers like 7 For All Mankind, Diane von Furstenberg, ADAM by Adam Lippes, and Mara Hoffman are taking the look to a new level, making jumpers rival dresses in the world of effortless warm-weather chic.

Try pairing a floral Rachel Pally romper with Havaianas flip-flops and oversized Oliver Peoples sunglasses for a put-together casual look, or take chambray to Bonnaroo with layers of bold necklaces and bracelets and Elizabeth and James flat sandals. For a more formal affair, break out of the box and wear a strapless romper with Camilla Skovgaard sandals and Gara Danielle jewelry. This look is all about having a little fun with the way you dress.

The rompers are darling if you're 20 years old. I'd love to see things for mature women.

I got the Juicy for Shopbop Terry Romper in Lilac and it is super cute and sexy!! I love it!! I concede that not everyone can pull off this look, but every girl should rock it if she can. What's the fun of looking "mature"??
