Jumpsuits and rompers are everywhere this season and promise to be both a daytime and nighttime staple for the spring and summer months. They are a one-stop-shop because you can effortlessly create a polished outfit with just one piece. Jumpsuits and rompers allow for the addition of bold accessories and are comfortable in a way that a cocktail dress or even a sundress is not. With warmer weather already creeping up on us in Southern California, these one-piece looks are the perfect go-to.  

Los Angeles fashion blogger Emily Schuman of Cupcakes & Cashmere shows us the perfect black jumpsuit that rivals your little black dress as the ideal going out outfit. The Rag & Bone jumpsuit is black, sleeveless and has a drop-waist and side pockets. The legs are skinny for a fitted look that is perfectly polished for your night out. Schuman pairs the jumpsuit with black sandals from Zara for a simple, chic outfit that can be enhanced with accessories.

While Schuman pairs the jumpsuit with minimal bangles and a basic black clutch, there still is room for bolder accessories and a pop of color. Schuman also features a list of colorful rompers on her blog, which she categorizes by color and occasion. This list of rompers can definitely serve as inspiration when shopping for that one piece that will make a memorable statement.

L.A.-based fashion blogger Sophie Elkus of Angel Food also wears a black romper on her blog that she styles in several different ways. The sleeveless romper by Parker features a cinched waistband that adds a little extra comfort. The straps on the romper are adjustable to create a more perfect fit and the shorts, while not too short, are playful. You can construct a daytime look with a scarf or bright jacket as Elkus shows for day, or choose edgy accessories and gold pumps for a hot nighttime look.  

Rompers and jumpsuits come in all colors, patterns and textures. Retailers like American Eagle Outfitters and Forever 21 carry denim jumpsuits, short overalls and printed rompers that are perfect for a myriad of occasions, from the upcoming festival season to a fun girls' night out.

So if you are tired of dresses and skirts and want a trendy outfit without having to put too many pieces together, rompers and jumpsuits are right for you!
