I am finding Spring’s jumpsuit trend fascinating, though not always wearable. A glam, fitted black catsuit that flares out slightly from the knee to show just a peek of a spiked heel is one thing — one made of denim with big, puffy pleated pockets? Quite another.
But the short romper is the perfect compromise. I can’t wait to wear one with black tights, little black ankle boots and a fantastic sweater. Better yet, a luxurious cape.
On the runway — Betsey Johnson, BCBG Maz Azria and Derek Lam made the look their own:
