LuxeStaple: Jumpsuits

For some time now I've been seeing more and more features on jumpsuits. For me, jumpsuits have a nostalgic feeling. As a kid, I remember my mom wearing them with a pair of heels, oversize glasses and her hair perfectly styled. She looked gorgeous. But to see them now, I can't say I'm completely sold on the idea of wearing jumpsuits. Perhaps it's because the modern day jumpsuits seem more scandalous than stylish. I don't want to look as though I'm a missing member of the Rick James female entourage. Luckily, there are some designers that are able to capture the simplicity of a jumpsuit and pair it with a fabric or print that is complimentary, making a woman feel sexy without feeling trampy. These designers are able to celebrate a woman's body without having to outfit her in an all around tight fitting, low cut ensemble. Of the many jumpsuits featured below, a favorite is Donna Karen's Seafoam Jumpsuit from her Spring 2009 line. The seafoam color would shine beautifully against any skin tone, while the fabric and print fall effortlessly on your body for a perfect fit without fuss. This particular jumpsuit is bold and eye popping enough that accessories could be kept to a minimum and you'd still look gorgeous.
