Here are some tips that will help you know the difference the next time you go shopping for your babies rompers (or even yours).
Children's clothes are supposed to be quite simple. Sometimes, however, it becomes incredibly hard to tell the difference between any two or more sets that are supposed to be very different from each other. Take rompers and jumpsuits, for example. They both just seem to be one thing; some kind of overall that stretches all the way you the feet. As it is, however, these two are quite different. Here are some tips that will help you know the difference the next time you go shopping for your babies rompers (or even yours):
THE LENGTH
What is a baby romper? To answer this, just look at the length of the cloth in question.
This is perhaps the most obvious difference between rompers and jumpsuits.
While they are both one-piece outfits, rompers tend to short at the bottom, reaching the knees or even above. Jumpsuits, on the other hand, are like pants at the bottom; quite long.
SLEEVES
Sometimes, both rompers and jumpsuits may have short or long sleeves. In most cases, however, jumpsuits have the longest sleeves. Rompers often have short ones and sometimes none at all. This is, of course, traditionally. In the current fashion industry, the sleeves may be there or not and maybe at any length film both rompers and jumpsuits.
THE PANTS
Ah, yes. The pants.
While jumpsuits will mostly be trousers at the bottom, rompers are mainly shorts. The length will depend, but they never go below the knee.
Rompers are actually quite interesting because sometimes they will be skirts are the bottom, making them kind of like dresses. Others times they are both with the skirt attached to the shorts so that on the outside they look like dresses. Jumpsuits are much simpler; they will always be pants at the bottom.
FORMALITY
It would be bizarre to walk into an office with a romper unless you work in an organization that doesn't care much about how you dress. It's like wearing a booty short to work. They are very casual, which is why you'll see them a whole lot more in summer at the beach before the bikinis come out.
Jumpsuits, on the other hand, can be quite formal depending on the design. It's like wearing a formal pantsuit, only that the top is attached to the bottom. You can accessories your jumpsuit and stun at the office.
Jumpsuits are also easy to multitask. When chosen well, you can comfortably wear one to work, to dinner, to a picnic and even to church (if you are Christian and your church allows it.)
THE DESIGN
Rompers are generally designed for a casual look, which is why they will appear more flirty than rompers. The tops will mostly be open or curved to give a more feminine look. Jumpsuits are not very different except for the fact that they may have longer sleeves.
Conclusively, both rompers and jumpsuits are one-piece outfits. The significant difference is the length of the pants attached. For the cold season, a jumpsuit would be ideal for your baby. Remember to be very careful when buying clothes for your baby; it's much more involving than buying kitchen stools or anything else.
