I cannot be the only adult woman who has issues with shorts. And then, there’s the short’s sister, the romper. I love rompers, and yet I hate them. Tell me I’m not the only one.
Here’s the thing about shorts and rompers–there are just so many chances for things to go wrong. Are they too short? Too structured? Too sloppy? Do you look like a kid in them? I worry about these things every time I put on shorts or a romper.
I’m also brave enough to tell you what no one else will: even when you’re over your fear of rompers and love them (be patient, we’ll get there), you do have to get completely naked to pee. Just keep that in mind, but don’t let it stop you.
So, how do you go from having issues with rompers to romping around? Let’s chat about it.
Romping around? I do love it. As nervous as they can make me, rompers are a great all-in-one option. Just like moods, there are different kinds of rompers. My fave? The more structured ones (though flowy ones are great for the pool), but there’s something about a tailored one that makes me feel grown up.
And somehow, when they’re tailored I worry less about the length. Weird, I know.
This little number? I love the satin/silk fabric. It feels like it would be right at home with heels and a night out. And yet, it goes with sandals (not just wedges) and a day romping around (sorry not sorry). Most importantly, this romper makes me feel like a 1940’s star. It’s the details- the pleats, the cap sleeves, the buttons. I feel like I’m on trend (shorts) but still me. My tip for finding a romper that you love?
-Experiment with cuts. I like structure, maybe you like them loose. Most rompers (just like jumpsuits) can be worn in so many ways, the most important thing is that you like it.
This number is not the first romper I tried, and in fact I’ve had it for years. The trick is that once you find something you love to romper around in, you keep it!
I’ve found a great selection of rompers below for your shopping pleasure! Happy Romping!
