We’re on the fence about rompers. On the one hand, they have massive potential to look cute, but on the other hand, they’re clothing meant for five-year-olds. And there’s nothing pretty about a grownup wearing clothes designed for kids.
But when we saw pictures of Audrina Patridge absolutely rocking one at the world premiere of ‘The Lone Ranger,’ we considered becoming 100% pro-rompers.
Much of that was because of a critical detail on Audrina Patridge’s summery floral romper from Yumi Kim. See if you can spot it in these photos:

Do you see it? If not, here’s a side-by-side comparison with other previously featured celebrities in rompers to further help you out:

Audrina Patridge’s romper has sleeves, which makes it much more appropriate for an adult. Just compare it with Nicky Hilton’s and Alessandra Ambrosio’s—even when styled with an expensive-looking bag and high heels, Nicky Hilton’s romper still looks very kiddie-ish.
Alessandra’s unflattering, loosely fitted, high-cut hips make her romper all the more weird to wear. The sleeves on Audrina Patridge’s romper make all the difference—mainly because they make the item look like two separate pieces, but that’s the whole point.
Audrina’s adult-appropriate romper is the Yumi Kim “Liz.” It comes in plenty of colorful summery prints:
