Jumpers vs. Rompers

Jumpers always make me think of my first day of kindergarten when my mom put me in a pink corduroy jumper with a white blouse underneath. The jumper had straps- very similar to those on overalls, except the bottom was a skirt. It also had pockets, and I loved it. In the U.K., jumpers are what we would call sweaters. Either way, it’s a cool word for various items of clothing. Just make sure you don’t look like the 60-something woman who played the piano at my cousin’s high school graduation.
A romper, on the other hand, is more like a playsuit. In short, this is a loose, light-fitting one-piece garment, similar to a jumper in that the top is attached to the bottom. The main difference is that the bottoms are usually shorts and they may be gathered (like a fancier version of the onesie underclothes, which newborns may wear). All in all, the romper is a fairly practical item as far as physical activity is concerned- unless you need to you the bathroom in which case you better hope you’re not in a hurry since you need to practically undress. Rompers have had a recent comeback among the hipster elite and A-list celebs, but there’s no reason why six-months-from-now, people won’t be saying you look like an overgrown, skanky extra from Barney.
