Back For Spring: The Adult Romper




















Eva Longoria in Bebe (source)




















Jessica Simpson

Seems like last summer's hottest trend, adult rompers/shortalls, are back for this spring. While this look is probably best left for fun in the sun and casual wear, with the right shoes (and suntan) the wrap look a la Eva Longoria could actually work. Strappy tanks and drawstring shorts like on Jessica are also probably best left at the beach or for Sunday afternoons cleaning your apartment.

Our suggestion? Don't take after Maria Menounous and try to do the formal romper. The shiny material and ill fitting cut give her a saggy bottom effect that is less than flattering. While, in this case, the belt is kind of cute, the whole thing together just doesn't work for a red carpet event.

Where do you stand on the adult romper/shortalls case? Should this outfit be left for rollerskating events circa 1975, or is it a cool and contemporary way to show off your gams? Let us know!
