subject: Playsuits Are The Perfect Fun Summer Party Outfit [print this page] When shopping for a fun and versatile outfit for the summer, look no further than the playsuit. This garment has become increasingly popular over the past few years and with good reason! You will find playsuits across high street stores this summer so it should be really easy to find the perfect cut and design for you.
For any of you that are unfamiliar with the playsuit it can be described as cousin of the jumpsuit. However, unlike a jumpsuit a playsuit has a top-half that is usually a t-shirt or vest and a bottom half that is formed into shorts or culottes. The design is flexible, which is great because this means there is a style out there to suit most body shapes and tastes.
If you have a curvy feminine figure then a loose-fitting top and shorts playsuit can create a really fun tomboy look that can be dressed up or down for day or night. Purchase the perfect playsuit and you can run around on the beach all day in it and then add some heels and a few accessories at night to make a stylish but more unusual party outfit.
If your body shape is more athletic then you will probably want to find a more feminine design that creates the illusion of curves. Look for a cut that nips in at the waist or draws attention to your chest or back with a plunging neckline. With this sort of design you can probably get away with loose shorts on the bottom half of the playsuit, especially if you have great pins, but for those who feel a bit self-conscious in shorts then look for a playsuit that has culottes at the bottom. These really loose shorts will basically look more like a skirt and give the impression that you are wearing something that bears more resemblance to a small summer dress than a t-shirt and shorts combo.
When planning a party outfit for the summer then consider the playsuit as a fun and quirky alternative to a dress. As mentioned the design you choose can be as feminine as you like and even a vest and shorts playsuit can look dressy with the right shoes and accessories. If you are worried that wearing a playsuit for your evening outfit is going to bear too much flesh then you can always cover up your arms and shoulders on top or add a pair of tights on your bottom half. This is also a great option for the current non-existent British summer!
