playsuits

Not sure if you've noticed, playsuits (or jumpsuits some may like to call) are gaining the respectable pedestal in the fashion scene. A playsuit look pretty much like a shirt-dress, except it features shorts instead.

Plait Playsuit from TopShop

The simple cut of the one-piece suit would go very well with signature pumps and/or a good waist belt. Fool-proof look to accentuate a girl's figure and legs. Slip on a pair of gladiator sandals or summer wedges for daytime casual or glam up with patent pumps for night-time seduction.

Lively Blake does it good

Unless you are a big fan of Prison Break, you may want to steer clear from loud gaudy colours (think: orange).

Silk Patterned Playsuit from TopShop

In my humble opinion, the one above from TopShop looks a tad like a grandmama's pjs. Try darker colours for beginners. Be careful with floral patterns (though it's making its presence strong in the summer). You don't want to over-accessorise and risk looking 80's and vulgur.
