I’ve talked a lot about one piece outfits in the past because of their ease and effortlessly chic appearance, and this item is no different. Fashion meets function with the romper, making it the perfect summertime wardrobe staple.
The best part is that this romper is under $20. Yes, you heard me right, it’s under $20 and fits like a dream. For reference, I’m a size small, so it fits pretty true to size. Originally I thought that it would be tricky to wear a regular bra with this because of the lattice back, but it’s actually high enough that I had no problem. I did however choose to wear a bandeau under it because the front was a little low for my taste.
A good romper will have the flattering shape and feel of a dress with the convenience of shorts. Look for styles with a cinched waist to give you an hourglass shape and add structure to your outfit. Without a cinched waist or belt, rompers can easily go from stylish to looking like an oversized potato sack.
To keep the look timeless, look for rompers that aren’t super tight, and have some flare around the legs to make them look a little more like a dress. When accessorized with jewelry and heels, the right romper can be dressed up too. Think about this option for an outside wedding or get together. The key to dressing up this look is to find a style in a more luxe looking material. If you are going to dress your romper up, stay away from cotton and stick with materials that look like satin or silk, or for an extra breezy look, linen.
Fashion meets function with the romper, so take advantage of this and dress it up or down to meet your varying needs!
