How To: Rompers and jumpers are made in several different styles and are flattering on many shapes if worn properly. This summer we have seen Fashionistas rocking bright colored rompers in light, carefree materials. Rompers that cinch at the middle, like Megan’s, are perfect for showing off your figure and accentuating your waistline. A simple romper is ideal for accessorizing with colorful jewelry and shoes in the summer and for layering in the fall.
