Playsuits are still seemingly popular at the moment. Every mall I’m shopping at, I run into at least one or two women wearing a playsuit (or a ‘jumpsuit’ as some online stores refer to them as). When I first saw runway models sporting one-pieces I was certain that they would only be available in stores for a short period of time but I’ve definitely been proven wrong on this one!
One UK brand, Topshop has a dedicated section for its range of Playsuits. Have a look here if you are interested. Personally I think playsuits are meant for infants and toddlers (although this bias most likely arises from my body type not looking even remotely cute in a playsuit). I am increasingly surprised at the number of women I’ve seen recently that actually look good in a playsuits. In Jakarta, particularly the short jumpsuits are very popular (I’ve yet to spot someone in a jumpsuit with long trousers)!
Fabsugar’s take is that 2009 is ‘the year of the jumpsuit’.
This week ASOS is featuring playsuits from its front page and I’ve just browsed their selection of jumpsuits (so far these are the ones I like best among the online shops I’ve visited).
Here are some of my favorite picks,
ASOS Tencel Jumpsuit, 44.75 pounds
Sophistix Tamara Pinashorts, SG$32.00
Warehouse Silk Structualism Playsuit, 59 pounds
Lots of shops are also selling denim jumpsuits (which can look very cute if worn properly). Do check them out (especially if you are lean or petite as they will suit you gorgeously!) Check out the Denim Jumpsuit at Forever21.

I like the silk one best.
