Plus, check out this page from In Touch magazine:


Do any of these women look great? Like they are wearing clothing which flatters the body or highlights its best attributes? Or do you see wrinkled crotches, undefined waists, shapeless legs and a garment that is ill-fitting from bust to toe? Just asking.

<![CDATA[Jumpsuits Are Having A Moment… And Time's Up]]> Cameron Diaz showed up on Jimmy Fallon's show wearing a black satin one. Snobbish blog Luxist declared them a "staple." On Sunday's Running In Heels, an intern cried when one wouldn't fit. Jumpsuits won't die.

The truth is that fashion magazines have been pushing jumpsuits for over a year. And whenever there are movies or TV shows about the future, humans are generally wearing some kind of one-piece, or the aptly named unitard. Jumpsuits in some situations make sense: Like if you're flying a plane, or working on a HAZMAT team. But what of fashion-y jumpsuits, the kind worn with heels? The kind with ballooning legs, as seen in this picture of Katie Holmes? The proportions are never quite right; they seem ungainly, the wearers seem like they desperately want to get into Studio 54 but are being left in the cold. And let's be honest: Forget models and the odd celebrity, are average American women embracing jumpsuits? If so, what is the appeal? Is it that you're putting on one piece — usually the same color, from head-to-toe — and therefore responsible for fewer decisions when getting dressed? Are jumpsuits Garanimals for the truly lazy? Do they flatter anyone? So many questions. The most important of which is: Would you wear a jumpsuit? Oh, and by the way: Overalls and coveralls do not count.
