The one-piece pants that have trended in recent years are jumpsuits. Initially, I thought I blogged about jumpsuits before here on "StyleSpace by JBM," but apparently not! Until now, of course. Anyhow- a jumpsuit is a one-piece pant suit consisting of pants attached to a top. They can be thought of as pant alternatives to dresses- especially long dresses. These garments can range from fashion jumpsuits to jumpsuits worn for certain occupations (such as welding). Much like rompers got a modern revival, jumpsuits also have gained a modern revival. This blog post is all about jumpsuits.
BEFORE I BEGIN...
I am defining jumpsuits as one-piece pants that extend below the knees. If you want to read about one-piece shorts (rompers/playsuits), I invite you to read this blog post instead:"Rompers/Playsuits" (StyleSpace by JBM)

Do not fall into any sort of fear or premonition that jumpsuits are ugly. In fact, I think some jumpsuits can be just as fun as a dress or any pair of pants. Some people just look at jumpsuits like only babies should wear them. That is entirely not true. Jumpsuits can be great to wear ranging from casual wear to a vast variety of evening jumpsuits. They can be enjoyed by various females from little girls to adults, and not to mention jumpsuits being wearable among petites and plus size females. About the only problem area I see with jumpsuits mostly are with tall females. They can be a total no-no for taller women.
What gives jumpsuits their beauty is in providing a slimming silhouette along with a chic pair of pants. Just like a dress is often flattering in providing a stylish top along with a skirt portion, a jumpsuit often provides a flattering top combined with a stylish pair of pants. Some of my favorite jumpsuits offer a stylish silhouette or offer a dress-like appearance (preferably wide legs or palazzo pant legs). Most jumpsuits I dislike have either boyfriend-like pant legs or harem-like pant legs.
Jumpsuits can be just as wearable as dresses. So if you love dresses, you may be able to find a jumpsuit that you can love as much as some of your favorite dresses. It is not likely you will find a jumpsuit you will love as much as or more than a certain dress. However, you can still find and wear a lovely enough jumpsuit that will be as wearable as your favorite dress or even your favorite pair of pants.

Jumpsuits: Final Thoughts
Jumpsuits can be thought of as pant alternatives to dresses. They are about the best way I can market jumpsuits to you all. Many jumpsuits offer the one-piece comfort and style that make them wearable ranging from casual days to dressy nights. Feel free to enjoy the appeal that is associated with jumpsuits. The real appeal to me mostly lies in the different pant types that make up jumpsuits. Even if you're petite, curvy, or curvy petite, you can still enjoy jumpsuits and even enjoy wearing jumpsuits. Get out there and proudly wear your jumpsuits if you love them!
