Glamazon Guide: Rompers For Every Body Type

Glamazons,

Walk down any sunlit street this summer and it’s clear rompers are the trend du jour. Everyone loves the shorts version of jumpsuits this summer, and it’s easy to see why. My bestie who lives in them put it best: they’re ridiculously comfortable. That they are.

But they can also be tricky. They look a bit like a onesie (the infant kind) or pajamas when the fit is off. *shudders*

Luckily, that fashion faux paux is easily avoidable when you know which silhouette compliments your shape. Here’s a short little guide to help everybody look stylish and pulled-together in this season’s romper trend.

1. Pear

A pear body shape is curvy on the bottom and smaller on top. Rompers that draw attention to the top will help balance out your frame. Look for details on top like embellishment and collars. If you rock a colorblock romper, choose one that is darker on the bottom.

2. Apple

Apple shapes are thicker in the waist and midsection. Rompers with a tie, gathered waist or waistband will be ultra-flattering. You can also just throw on a belt to cinch a romper you already have.

3. Top-Heavy

If you’re curvy on top and smaller everywhere else, you want to avoid high necklines and ruffled tops that add volume to a full bust. Instead, try a wrap neckline or strapless top. Added bonus? You can show off sexy décolletage.

4. Hourglass

Since you’re equally proportioned, you can choose rompers that play up your frame; options with cinched waists, v-necks and fitted shorts will compliment your voluptuous shape. Balance is key for this body type so be sure to look for rompers that draw attention to all your curves.

5. Boy Shape

If you have a boy-shaped frame, volume is your best friend. Embrace frills like peplum, ruffles and flared bottoms that fill you out in all the right places.

    I have been wearing rompers since last summer when they first appeared on the scene. Just glad I will be able to wear them another season.

    Like the first commenter stated…thank you for including all body types. Now I am confused as to whether I have a pear shape or an hourglass figure. Lol. Keep up the good work!!!

      Sure thing! And yes, aren’t they great? I’m happy I can keep wearing mine this summer too. If you’re confused, I’m going to guess you’re an hourglass. Luckily, those body shapes (hourglass and pear) are so similar that most rompers can work for both. Thanks for reading! x
