Editor's Notes
April 21, 2020:
Rompers are a great piece of clothing for those days when you wake up and have little energy to put an outfit together, but despite being convenient, they're still appropriate for a large variety of occasions. A nice romper won't seem out of place at beach parties, Sunday brunches with your family, or even nightclub outings with your closest friends. Rompers come in a wide range of styles, so we've created an eclectic list of garments that will meet many preferences.
Several of our selections take their designs from vintage pieces. For instance, the Ecowish Strapless Romper has a colorful, '80s-inspired pattern and shows off your shoulders. The Simplee Apparel Romper provides a modern twist on '70s denim jumpsuits with floral embroidery around the bottom hem of the shorts and on the bodice.
If you're more interested in modern styles, you might want to look at minimal options such as the Merokeety Romper and the Reoria Summer Romper. The former is an elegant piece with a high halter neckline and a long keyhole design on the back. Its material is very soft and lightweight so you can comfortably wear it all day long. The Reoria romper is similarly straight forward with its design, but is a more relaxed garment with a loose bodice and an adjustable drawstring. It's a great option for many casual outings.
Some people had to return their items because they did not fit properly. Ordering clothes online can be difficult since you cannot try them on before purchasing, so check the measurement charts that are provided by the company to ensure you have the best fit possible. In the longterm, it's a great idea to invest in a sewing kit and a sewing machine so you can adjust the strap length or sew on a button if one were to fall off.
It's best to wash your romper before wearing it since some people can be allergic or sensitive to the chemicals that are used to treat clothing such as textile dyes and finishing agents.
