Trend Report: Romper Room

With spring just around the corner, it’s time to get your closet in order. Looking for a way to welcome warmer weather and find a hot outfit just in time for spring break? Try the ever-so-trendy jumper/romper. These one-pieces are perfect for hitting the streets both day and night, so we’ve found a few jumpers to add to your wardrobe for under $50.

Shopping on a budget doesn’t have to limit your options. Forever 21 never fails to introduce the latest trends for cash-strapped college students. Stay comfortable in shorts, but fashion-forward in this Grecian Grapevine Romper ($24.80). Pair it with black pumps and some chunky bracelets, and you’ll be ready for a night out on the town.

Fun and comfortable daytime pieces are a necessity for school functions and weekend outings, so try Urban Outfitter’s Silence & Noise Knot Front Jumper ($48). Also, check out the Silence & Noise Surplice Jumper ($29.99) for a cropped pant look. Paired with a cute pair of flats during the day or pumps and tights at night, these pieces are bound to get some complements at any time.

Tired of the cocktail dress? Try the Dream Girl Romper from Lulus.com ($47.00) for a dressier, more tailored style. This slimming, strapless one-piece ties in the tuxedo look to dress it up, making it perfect for a evening or afternoon event.

This spring, don’t be afraid to step out of your usual leggings and boots comfort zone. Jumpers and rompers are cute, flirty, and fun - not to mention a great way to experiment with a cool vintage style without breaking the bank!
