Rompers have the difficult reputation of being associated with babies. And we get it. Their other name is literally "playsuit," which just sounds like something you'd dress Prince George in. But Saint Laurent and Alexander Wang are reinterpreting the style for adults, and we're ready to transition from jumpsuits to rompers immediately. See 7 grown-woman ways to make the romper work for you, here.
Wedding Wear
Weddings are a great excuse to buy a new dress, or in this case, a fancy romper. This frilly lace number is going to get you all the compliments. Style them with your most comfortable dancing shoes and hit the dance floor.
