I’ve been something of a romper skeptic since the trendy onesie first (re-)entered the zeitgeist in 2011. At the time, I’d caught a lot of flack (from one friend’s grandmother in particular) for adorning my long legs with shorts of any kind; summer rompers threatened to strengthen shorts’ stranglehold over the seasonal trend-sphere—a thing I felt all but excluded from.
As time has gone on—and as I’ve grown older—I’ve realized a minor dose of criticism is no reason to forgo something as delightful as a summer romper. (I mean really, rompers are basically dresses rendered in an even more comfortable form—plus, they’re all-in-one outfits that require zero mental energy to style. What’s not to love?!) And even if I hadn’t had this sartorial epiphany, this summer’s romper selection would certainly be pushing me in that direction. The array of rompers on offer right now is so vast, so varied and so damn cute that no amount of grandmother shade could possibly convince me to refrain from romp-ing around all season long.
Whether you’re romper-reluctant or romper-obsessed, I’d encourage you to peruse this summer’s offerings—mostly because, well, they’re too damn good to pass up. If even I, a romper convert, can find something (or, let’s be real, a ton of things) to add to my wishlist, you surely can. And even if you’re not down to hop aboard the short-onesie train just yet, there’s nothing wrong with a little window-shopping, right?
