Posts with tag jumpsuits

At first we thought maybe this was one of those crazy looks that only celebrities could pull off. But, after witnessing similar outfits in the real world, we've been pulled over to the dark side of jumpsuit shorts -- also known as jumpers, rompers or playsuits.

Intermix online is currently blowing out all sorts of expensive designer goods at pretty hefty discounts. Certain items like Yacht Club's slinky rayon sweater seem like a good deal while others seem like a last ditch attempt to pawn off some over-priced monstrosity whose high-volume purchase probably cost an Intermix buyer his or her job.

Of the latter, I would like to point out Stella McCartney's sweater knit jumpsuit. Originally priced at $1,165, the sweater jumpsuit has been reduced to $399. (If my math is correct, that's 65% off). Even at $399, you'd have to be fool to pay that much money for a garment that is not only impractical (how do you go to the bathroom in a jumpsuit?) but also truly unflattering!

Even the sales copy seems to know that this jumpsuit is a piece of crap:

"As comfortable as PJs, but much, much more sophisticated...cardigan-style front with five buttons and long, long legs (37" inseam) with 3 1/2" ribbed cuffs so that you can scrunch up the jumpsuit to wear to the length desired...The size 40 is equivalent to a US size 4-6-8ish."

Ah, scrunchable legs and 4-6-8-ish sizing, eh? And how exactly do you make something that fits a size 4 also fit a size 8? Oh wait, now I see:

"All sale purchases are final sale. No exchanges, no returns."
