One-pieces have gone utterly mainstream in the past three years, and designers and retailers are capitalizing on the trend.
Before 2011, jumpsuits were worn largely by inmates, toddlers, and those otherworldly fashion people who are always just a few too many years ahead of the rest of us. But now, it seems the jumpsuit and its short-legged sister, the romper, are everywhere. Nearly every designer this season is offering a take on the trend. Jumpsuits have made red carpet appearances on the likes of Kristen Stewart, Jennifer Lawrence, and Diane Kruger. Google searches for "jumpsuit" have risen steadily in the past three years, and Net-a-porter now has an entire "jumpsuits" category on its dropdown menu. As Lauren Sherman (an occasional Co.Design writer) explains over at Fashionista , these onesies have become an unlikely moneymaker for designers and retailers.
