Remaking the jumpsuit
This spring brought forth a trend I never thought would be back, but has caught my attention. Call them catsuits or whatever you like, jumpsuits have made quite a statement.
When I first heard about them, I had a flashback to those worn by performers like Lil’ Kim and Britney Spears, but there are some cute ones out there. While onesies have been consistently available for years as casual wear, these styles, often with ankle length to full length pants, are being advertised more for a night out.
While a more formal one can set you back hundreds of dollars, the high end styles are making their way to every college girl’s favorite bargain shop, Forever 21. There I spotted a jumpsuit inspired by this strapless one by Black Halo.
The jumpsuits range from flowing and casual to more structured, like this tuxedo-inspired jumpsuit by Alexander McQueen for his MCQ line.
The most popular look I have seen thus far is cinched at the waist with a great belt — something that always seems to work — with a great pair of heavier heels, the taller the better, covered in straps or buckles or with a cute pair of booties.
