JUMP, JUMP!



2009 Spring/Summer collections are full with fresh ideas. Although the economic situation tightens belts we still need to wear something. Let’s jump into spring with the most sophisticated trend!

Last year we expected jumpsuits to be a one-season trend. But looking at the 2009 spring collections, there are enough examples to inspire us to bravely invest into a comfortable all-in-one because they will definitely demand space in your summer wardrobe. Don’t think about the vivid Pucci colors of the sixties, the Abba-style bell-bottom overalls seventies or the acid wash denim pieces of the eighties. This year designers finally found out how to create sophisticated, sexy and feminine all-in-ones. Catherine Malandrino paired silvery shimmering satin V-neck suit with a colorful gritty belt, while Cynthia Steffe created a more resorty look with her snow white jumpsuit accessorized with chunky gold bracelet and visor.
We are not telling you to replace your favorite LBD with a satin all-in-one but you can consider it as a sophisticated alternative for the evening dress. Although they are more suited for the tall and skinny (of course!) it is not as hard to wear, as you would think. First of all keep it simple and choose a plain suit (definitely avoid patterns!) that fits your shape the best and accessorize it with a belt to create an instant hourglass figure. Glam up the look with huge bracelets or a statement necklace. To put the cream onto the tart pair your jumpsuit with sky-high heels. If you still feel uncomfortable cover your back with a long line cardigan or a blazer.
