When we're looking for a dressed-in-a-flash, one-and-done outfit, we're reaching for a T9 jumpsuit or romper for women. Better than a dress, easier than figuring out what the heck goes with those pants, forever versatile and always on-trend, they're the grab-and-go solution to the never-ending question of "what should I wear?"
What's a romper? What's a jumpsuit?
Rompers and jumpsuits are wardrobe sisters—they often do the same job (casual, effortless, ready for anything) but there are some key differences between the two styles:
Rompers: A romper is usually a one or two-piece outfit that involves shorts and a matching top. Rompers can be all sorts of styles, from sleeveless to long-sleeve, denim to floral, flowy to ruched waist, but shorts are the piece that makes the difference. Check out our
