2009 Women's Trend: JUMPSUITS

JUMP in to a new kind of swellness and swagger!

This season, fabulous ONESIES come to you like a band of workers stampeding for lunchtime.

They haven't been more noticed and CHICER!

In the pre-war era (before 1950s) JUMPSUITS were primarily male worker uniforms;

mostly AVIATORS & SKYDIVERS, but gradually worn by plumbers, junkyard men, mechanics, military crews alike. Post-war, women slipped onto these utilitairian wonders until these have been stylized and made fashion biggies via Elvis Presley, Charlie's Angels, disco babes in Soul Train and et al.

The 2009 JUMPSUIT is free-wheeling and sashay-worthy,

carefree, sans the neoprene uncomfortability of course.

Of course, these jumpsuits won't lose a flash ever being SHEENY, the least be non-matte or subduedly shiny.

DKNY offered a future classic, really uniform-inspired piece made understatedly CHIC by choosing MAUVE. Dell'Acqua's was the most ELEGANT kind in black, and Chloe's Hannah McGibbon paraded OLIVE for the non-faint-hearted and all-girly.
