Being one of the key trends of Spring/Summer 2008, jumpsuits and rompers (but mostly jumpsuits) are still going strong this fall. Blake Lively, who adopted jumpsuit as her signature garment on screen and in real life, is partially responsible for keeping interest in jumpsuits alive.

MCQ ALEXANDER MCQUEEN Tux Jumpsuit $561.

Rebecca Taylor Tie Me Up Jumpsuit $195, was $273. 

Nicole Miller Jumpsuit [sold out, was $510].

Belted Velour Jumpsuit $59.

Bird Washed Silk-Cotton Jumpsuit $398. 

There’s a particular advantage of jumpsuits — they instantly spice-up any ensemble turning it into a perfect party style.

Great news for those who already own this garment — with little styling you will be able to wear your favorite summer piece and stay warm while spending the night on the town this fall!

Pictures above show Blake Lively, who styled her black romper with Dries Van Noten Fall 2009 blazer and Marc by Marc Jacobs grey booties ($359, was $595). Jennifer Lopez styled her draped jumpsuit with white A. L. C. asymmetrical leather jacket and Thomas Wylde boots.

So, blazers (boyfriend), bolero jackets, military jackets, leather jackets, coats, etc. are great to make jumpsuits fall ready.
