One-Piece Wonder

Chanel's $5,000 jumpsuit

I absolutely love that the mainstream has been conditioned to loathe the trends of Spring 2008 (neon, high waists, etc.) Why? If you're getting on them early, you can hit Goodwill and eBay for the goods. Case in point: the jumpsuit.
Now, there aren't many body types that can't rock a jumpsuit, just maybe the very round. (But then again, what trends can you ever rock when you're shaped like a cherry tomato? Not many.)
The new, hot jumpsuit is indeed a 70's look, but not the denim onesie you wore to the hip hop club back in the early 90's, and not your Elvis halloween costume or collared halter. It's either strapless or short sleeved, and the legs are long and wide-- palazzo if you will.
Of course, none of your average catalogs and mall stores are carrying a jumpsuit right now. Victoria's Secret catalog does offer one acceptable style (NOT the terrycloth) but it definitely isn't dead-on. If you're ready and willing to brave the comments of male morons who don't "get it" your best bet for the time being is to find your local vintage or second hand store and start digging!

How to: Wear the jumpsuit with strappy heels, a belt, a free-floating coat or cape and volumized disco hair.
