2 Ways to Wear a Jumpsuit

9.04.2013


Because looking like an inmate is so #hotrightnow—orange is the new black, bishes!

But in all seriousness, jumpsuits are having a major moment. Obvs our first point of reference is the inspiration board I made the other week, but also of note: Carine Roitfeld styled a Home Depot painter's suit 7 different ways and it was a revelation and a half. That being said, I had to fit shooting this post in between eating and masturbating (speaking of which, look at this picture of Zac Efron!) so I only got to two ways to style my jumpsuit. I hope you can deal.

The 'suit is a vintage Navy uniform I picked up at Low Vintage when I visited Charlottesville last month. The first way I'm wearing it, above, is casual/ruffian—backwards cap, collar turned down, bandana in full effect, hems cuffed. Googling, "mechanic jumpsuit" tells me this is a pretty literal way to wear the thing. Also, if you're in the market, you can find a similar style at Fancydress.com; you're welcome. The second way, below, is formal/Brooklyn businessman.


Pop the collar, turn down the hems, shed that bandana, and top it all off with a vintage fedora. This is a great look for when you're not necessarily working on cars. All the boys will want you and all the girls will be like, "Ugh this bitch again," but in a good way. Like this post? Check out 2 Ways To Wear Overalls. Photos Brian Marrone.

We Need to Talk About Jumpsuits

8.12.2013


Because I just bought one and it is totally boner-inducing. These are a few I've seen and pinned that are a really good jumping off point if you're in the market (for inspiration.)

01 Balmain. Rousteing did a few more in a racecar-driver-y style, but I don't think those are as wearable as this denim number. Love it with the striped tee!
02 Hermès. Christophe Lemaire showed a sexy, modern, and totally chic jumpsuit for SS14 and I'm happy to say that the one I picked up bears a strong resemblance to this baby. Sort of like its cousin...a cousin who's maybe in a chain gang...but it's like whatever.
03 Tommy Ton shot this guy and I just loooove the look.

Mine is vintage, duh, and is pretty versatile—just like me!

HANGING IN THERE

5.02.2012

1) No, I didn't buy this. The world mourns...
2) My messy "bedroom."
3) A supercute line of candles I discovered at Roxie Daisy, handmade in Chicago in a range of sophisticated and unexpected scents...
4) #WIWT (last week) - Banana Republic linen shirt, BR ladypants, green Doc Martens.
5) Lemon ginger tea, mmm!

My apologies for the excessive iPhone-ography on the blog lately, I have a few things on my proverbial plate right now...but I should be back in the swing of things soon!
