Aren't you excited for a continuation of my 80's trends?
My trend reports are almost coming to an end. You're shedding a tear, right?
Anyways, jumpsuits. I'm sure you've noticed them:
Because they were EVERYWHERE S/S '09.
So some of them aren't screaming 80's, actually I would say some of them are more of a "modern" jumpsuit. Every trend that was done before is almost always brought back with a more modern (or "to date") feel.
I think rompers can be ADORABLE (sort of a lolita chic kind of feel) but jumpsuits sort of remind me of pajamas or long johns. Oh, they also remind me of that harem pant style trend for S/S. (which is also another 80's trend for S/S '09, I am just going to reference by word though, not by pictures this time. Sorry!) They are awfully functional however, we all can tell.
Thing is, you have to have a pretty rockin' body to pull off a jumpsuit. The typical model pulls it off easily: tall and thin.
If you are interested in wearing a jumpsuit but don't know where to start styling it or what to wear WITH it, here are some cute girls who I thought pulled the jumpsuit off well:
I think the key with the jumpsuit is to make sure you don't look like you're stuck in the 80's. Especially if you're older. Do it with a modern flare, or paired with classic, more contemporary modern, or timeless pieces or accessories. Keep the colors neutral or dark, only go with neon or bright colors if you have darker accessories or darker layers on top.
Another 80's-esque trend out there was dresses longer in the back, and shorter in the front. Here are just a few:
Maison Martin Marglela did a more toned-down, modern touch on this trend while Balmain went all out 80's prom (with a slightly more modern feel) with the ruffles.
That's all for now!
