Are they not just universally horrible?

What are you supposed to jump while in a jumpsuit?

BitOfFun · 04/07/2011 15:45

Out of a plane, I think. Like Anneka Rice.

No, a suit. You go hang out in the City and pick yourself a suit to jump.

Difficult, not universally horrible. I wore a French Connection jumpsuit (sale swoop) yesterday and got comments from people all day about it looking great. It's got a great comfort/glamour ratio which is v important in my book. Plus you only have to throw on 1 thing in the morning rather than matching stuff. Winning all round in my book.

Perhaps it's the idea of grown women 'playing' in romper suits that I find a bit urgh. Like that 'babydoll' aesthetic that some porn stars go for. It just has a slight nonce-chic aura about it.

Yeah that makes me sick up in my mouth too. Clothes to 'frolic' in. Bleugh.

love jumpsuits myself Wink

obv i must live in the sticks as i have yet to see anybody at all over the age of around 18 wearing either a playsuit or a jumpsuit

which speaks volumes IMO

though if you look good in one feel free to wander past my house so i can see :) (in a non-pervey way, that is)

My best friend (aged 35) wore a gorgeous navy blue jumpsuit when we went out on Saturday night. It was from French Connection, very flattering and grown up looking and she looked fabulous :)

I have both a jumpsuit and a playsuit.
The playsuit will only be worn on holidays.
I like both and they look fab on the right person

I love those retro spotted ones you linked to, a different ballpark to the baggy strapless ones I have seen.
