While dresses will always be our favorites, jumpsuits are taking a bit of our attention this season. We can’t help it. We’ve been seeing a lot of them lately. Yes, they are literally taking over — even to the point of replacing dresses on the red carpet.

Miley Cyrus, Eva Longoria, and Victoria Beckham are just some of the celebrities we have spotted sporting this one-piece wonder to high-profile events, and it looks like we will be seeing a lot more (famous faces in the “suit”) in the coming months.

Does this brewing trend make you want to grab a jumpsuit and wear it to a black-tie soiree?

Many feel that the jumpsuit is a refreshing change from the usual. It is easy to wear just like a dress, but unlike a dress, you enjoy a certain kind of freedom when wearing one. As to whether it can replace a good ol’ frock, we honestly don’t think so, but it’s a great alternative. Do you agree?

That said, the jumpsuit is for ladies who want less fuss. It is less feminine, yet it is also very empowering to wear. A word of caution, though, always make sure you pick the right jumpsuit for the occasion, especially for more formal gatherings.
