I've never seen one in the wild, but I follow a few Sixties/Seventies-inspired boutiques on Instagram and jumpsuits are definitely a thing there: https://shopmiracleeye.com/collections/overalls-jumpsuits

Everyone who takes time to express themselves with an unconventional outfit looks good imo

Good work rompers and jumpsuit people
xxxp - only don't have to think about it if the super short haircut and/or romper is actually flattering and low-maintenance. in my case, neither are.

Can’t be too flattering though or they’ll accuse you of “trying too hard to be cute” Can’t win!! Might as well give up, wear a onesie and think about something else.

idk regularly having to do wedgie removal is the opposite of the spirit of the romper as I understand it

You can never be too cute

i know that is why i objected to that post! it's not the cute person's responsibility to be less cute so as not to burn out the eyes of those who gaze upon them. deal with it, gazers.

I much prefer pinafores/jumpers over rompers. No bathroom shenanigans and I don't have to worry too much about ironing my shirt underneath if I am going to work.

Oh ok—just read the thread and saw the full context.
― Trϵϵship, Friday, 3 May 2019 17:43 (five years ago) link
but surely there are social conventions for what you wear and when? like would you wear a romper to a black tie event and be like "deal with it"? i mean, i suppose you could. i'm just saying i can't think of a lot of situations where a romper feels appropriate.

of course not, give me some crediti am pretty good at dressing myself!

and self aside, no one ever said "wear a romper to a job interview"

I saw a bearded man in a brightly colored patterned romper hop onto his bike this afternoon and I was like “OK”
