Play it cool with your playsuit!

I used to think playsuits were boring because, I thought, if you wear one, there's not much to do left. At least, when you're wearing a skirt, you can waste 45 minutes finding the right top. With a playsuit, it seems a bit too easy!

But I was wrong! HYPEED members made me discover that there are so many different style of playsuits, and so many ways to pair them!

And you can always waste those 45 minutes picking the shoes you're going to wear wih your favorite playsuit!

 

"I loved the youthful playfulness of the polka dots combined with the flirty fullness of the shorts. To keep with the playsuit's innocence, a frilly pair of white socks with wedges seemed a natural touch."

Sue's romper is perfect for summer! She pairs it with the trend of the season, the denim shirt, and rock'n'roll Doc Martens!

"Playsuits are the pefect item of clothing for a hot summer day! But they are also VERY practical because even if it's windy, nothing will show :-). However, playsuits can also be made more glamourous combined with the right accessoires. All in all, a stylish alternative to skirts and dresses!"

"This is my very first romper! I've been searching for 'The One', but none had the print or cut I wanted. When I saw this piece on Lulu's website, I knew it was perfect! The floral print screams my style and the drawstring waist was just what I wanted. I paired it with a ruffled blouse to make it a little extra ordinary and play up the cuteness of the whole look."

Mélanie's tips!

- Playsuits make you save time in the morning: you don't have to think what you gonna wear with a playsuit, cause it's all in one !


- How to lenghten your legs: valorize them with a short playsuit and high heels.

3 questions to Dilay

- Can you tell me more about Matchbox vintage?

Matchox is a new vintage shop in istanbul,they have cool pieces from all over the world.

- Do you like playsuits, and do you like this one in particular? 

I liked this one, it was so comfortable! But unfortunately, after the shoot, I didn't get to keep it! But I have some playsuits,i have pictures on my blog.

- What do you think are the key pieces this summer? 

Clogs, playsuits, high waisted shorts, monokinis and florals prints of course :)

"The playsuit is now a new favourite of mine, i love the silky material and lace trim around the cuffs, simple yet unique with a vintage twist. I have also only just discovered the pockets which is always an added bonus on any outfit."

Camille's black playsuit is very chic (the ruffles are a smart detail), but she dresses it down with casual flat and a leather belt.

Mkoesnadi wears the perfect outfit for a lunch in town. Classy heels and bag, a chic blazer, contrasting with the cool romper, it's a great balance!

When celebrities get it wrong

Too long (where are her feet?),
too many glitters,
too much cleavage...


Lindsay Lohan has tried to adapt the jumpsuit trend to the red carpet and, well... she failed.
