10 Ways To Make A One Piece Look Chic
The weather is still warm out and a t-shirt with jeans shouldn’t be the only outfit you’re able to wear. A one piece is a great way to stay cool while continuing to be stylish. You can wear a one piece with every kind of shoe, from sandals to boots and pointed-toe pumps. Use this guide to discover the many ways you can style a one piece so that your look is chic and ready for the weather
1. Pleats
To showcase your arms, try wearing a pleated halter jumpsuit with a tie-front. Wear open-toe, ankle strap heels or sandals with this look. If you know you will be walking a lot, you can wear flat sandals that have embellishments or leather, woven designs. Since your all-over piece is strapless, you can add a necklace to create a centerpiece. You can also add dangling earrings for added drama. Wear your hair in loose waves or you can wear a middle part, low ponytail.

2. Tye Dye
For a look that is bohemian but also minimalistic, try wearing a spaghetti strap romper. You can choose a romper with a tie-dye design, which creates a cool, mosaic-like effect. Since this look is very chill, try adding a simple, gold chain necklace and wear your hair in a side part and frame your face with wavy bags. You can wear sandals with this look, as well.

3. Cut Out
For a trendy look, try wearing a one piece that has a cut-out detail. Cut-outs are a big trend for fall and can be incorporated in the front, back, or sleeves of your one piece. Try wearing a halter jumpsuit with a cut-out and tied bow front. Add layered necklaces, so that one is shorter than the other. A powder blue piece will create a solid base for your outfit and can be worn with nude or taupe color sandals. Choose a strappy sandal to add more texture, without taking away from the centerpiece of your jumpsuit.

4. Polka Dot
A polka dot romper is ideal for adding eclectic accessories! Wear a tunic-style, strapless romper that has a halter that ties around the neck. If you want to create a cinched waist, choose a one piece that has an elastic waistband that also has a string tie (creating a bow). If you want to conceal your shoes, you can wear a piece that has longer leg hems. Try showcasing your shoes by wearing pointed-toe heels, if you want to achieve the opposite.

5. Belted
A belted one piece is chic and sexy. Try wearing a bold, white piece with an oversized collar. This will create a sharp v-neck look. You can skip a necklace or you can wear one simple chain in silver or gold. You don’t want your necklace to be too long, distracting from your belt. Add a small, top-handle handbag in brown color and dangling earrings. You can wear white, pointed-toe heels and pull your hair back into a messy ponytail.

6. Ruffles
There’s nothing more feminine than ruffles! Wear a ruffle jumper in a military-inspired color like olive or army green. Make sure your romper is fitted but also leaves room for you to move around. If you want to pull in your waist, try wearing a one piece that has a drawstring or elastic waistband. This piece is versatile, allowing you to wear it with sneakers and minimal jewelry. If you want to wear a handbag, opt for a crossbody tote in light leather.

7. Shorts
A crisp, white romper with shorts is the best resort-style piece, especially to wear with jewelry. Try wearing an off-the-shoulder one piece with an accent detail like an unexpected v-neck or embellishments. Add nude, open-toe platform sandals for longer legs and added height. Wear with chandelier earrings and sunglasses. You can add a simple bracelet and a colorful clutch. Wear your hair in a low pony and leave some loose pieces dangling in the front, to frame your face.

8. Buttoned
A buttoned one piece can be a romper with buttons to close the front. This look is both chic and casual, allowing you to jump from one task to the next while staying comfortable. Try wearing a wide-leg one piece that has shorts and a scrunched waistline. This way, your legs look long and slim. Pair with simple earrings like hoops or studs. You can also wear dangling earrings, but try not to overdo it with busy earrings. Complete your look with flat sandals and curl your hair at the ends, with a side part.

9. Wrap-Front
A wrap-front one piece will have you ready for coffee, brunch, and lunch. Try wearing a printed romper with ruffle details at the sleeves or hem. Also, go for a short jumpsuit with pockets for storage throughout the day. Wear flat sandals in white that are simple, allowing you to easily slide your feet inside. You can wear long earrings, aviator sunglasses, and a smartwatch to top off your look.

10. Collard
A sleek collard one piece is great for a day of shopping and iced coffee runs. Wear a solid white romper with shorts and cuffed sleeves. This will give the look of a t-shirt, which is super casual. Add white earrings to continue with the color scheme. Wear sunglasses and stacked jewelry. You can wear a watch and a bracelet or two bracelets. Wear flat sandals in brown or beige color to bring your look together, along with a shoulder bag in white with the same brown color trim.

There’s nothing like an all-in-one piece, especially when it’s warm outside. A romper is the best choice when it comes to versatility and ease. They are simple to put on and they often come with form-fitting elements like shorts to slim your legs and waistbands to give you an hourglass figure. Wear a one piece jumpsuit in these chic styles and you’ll be sure to stand out while keeping cool! Which of these looks do you think would be best to take from day to night?
