Sidewalk Style: Romp Around

Share | Print

By Rachel Cothran

Over the weekend, we snapped someone wearing one of the summer's hottest (coolest?) trends: a romper! Take a poll on if you think it's a stylish fad, or a blight on the fashion landscape.

I think Megan looks absolutely great in her romper, but I’m still not a fan of the style overall. It’s just too easy to go wrong with this style.

If they weren’t "in" and I saw this picture, I think I would love it. Rompers are quirky items that are perfect on quirky girls - but 90% of the population is not quirky.

I’d say ditch the romper and BRING ON THE ONE PIECE PANTSUIT. especially peach ones with faux fur collars from Remix.

Its cute but not really work appropriate. I also love the bag, but not with that outfit. It overwhelms the outfit.

She looks adorable! And by saying she looks like a teenager, makes one sound jealous that a woman can pull off youthful and fun. What are you? 37 and you look it? Can’t squeeze into that tube top anymore? D.C. is definitely not a "style" city, and its nice to see someone pull on an effortless, affordable, and fashionable look. Cute hair cut!

Oh he** no! Did we not learn anything from the ’90s, people?

A relevant and important statement on modern fashion. A beautiful specimen to say the least!

She looks like a teenager who stole her grandmother’s purse.

Yeah. There has seriously got to be a better name for this trend than romper. Worst term ever.

Yes, she had three little stars tattooed on her foot!
I wish the pic had come out better. It was denim with great retro styling up top. As we were talking, a girl walked past in a navy knit romper with little blue stars on it. It was adorable. From Topshop...

Does the word "rompers" remind anyone else of a brand of diapers or something?

I agree, I’ve seen some really cute versions of these (i refuse to use that term though). This one just strikes me as boring.

I kinda like her romper...not the best one I’ve seen b4 but its kinda cute! Plus it looks xtra comfy...Yes I luv her bag!!

Me neither, but the flats are cute. And is that a tattoo—or two?—on her foot?

I’m not really feeling the romper...but I love her bag!
