For me, no garment in my closet earns me extra compliments than the Free Folks Christa Sequin Romper ($168).

Somewhat backstory: As a lot as I like sequins, I’m usually one to avoid sequin-adorned bottoms, as a result of let’s be actual, there’s nothing fairly as uncomfortable as chafing thighs compounded by stiff plastic or steel discs. That mentioned, once I noticed that the show-stopping pink Free Folks Christa Sequin Romper—which has over 3,000 likes on Free Folks’s web site—was on sale final summer season for simply $70, I merely couldn’t go it up, particularly as a result of the retailer has hassle-free returns. I knew I’d be capable to get my a reimbursement if it didn’t work out, and since I wished one thing daring for my first journey to Nashville.

When the romper arrived, I used to be instantly impressed with the standard. Whereas I anticipated it to be a heavy, considerably stiff garment, this romper is so light-weight, to not point out absolutely lined in silky nude mesh, so it’s not itchy within the slightest. What’s extra, is that it’s stretchy, so it doesn’t really feel constricting, which is usually the large drawback with rompers. Better of all, because it has a wrap-front closure—making it appear to be a mini costume from the entrance however a romper from the again—I’m capable of hike up the shorts (with out it being noticeable from the entrance or the again) to keep away from any uncomfortable sequin-boosted chafing.

Suffice to say, this top-rated romper (which repeatedly sells out) is just not solely a assured head-turner (significantly, women and men approached me throughout Broadway about this sequined magnificence!) however one of the vital comfy going-out outfits that I’ve ever owned. Along with the thick thigh-friendly silhouette, the romper has billowing balloon sleeves, a deep V neckline, and an elastic waist, accompanied by an identical, removable sequin belt. Really, it’s the most effective.

The one factor I don’t love about this romper, which is offered in pink, in addition to black and navy blue, is how delicate it’s to scrub (particularly since this can be a garment that I like to wear down in town for hours on finish, so it actually wants a radical rinsing by the top of the night). It’s beneficial for hand-washing solely, however I’ve discovered that springing for dry cleansing works finest.
