"A true Slave to Fashion has pretty much one philosophy when it comes to crazy, fleeting, &amp;quot;are they serious!?&amp;quot; trends: Bring. It. On. It&amp;#x27;s a true testament to a woman&amp;#x27;s style if she can make a pair of jodhpurs look smashing, breathe new life into an old pair of pointy-toe pumps, or yes, make the jumpsuit look like the epitome of chic... When this trend first emerged on the runways of BCBG, Proenza Schouler, and Malandrino a few months back, you guys were pretty divided on whether it was a Do or a Don&amp;#x27;t. Then, I found a shining example of a jumpsuit done right, and a few of you, it seemed, became converts. Now it&amp;#x27;s time to tackle the one-piece wonder from the standpoint of a real woman...you! There are a few simple tricks to pulling this look off--and weighing 99 pounds is not one of them, as you can see by Jennifer Hudson&amp;#x27;s fabulous version, above. DO: Wear a jumpsuit instead of a cocktail dress. If you treat it like an LBD, it can be one of the most versatile items in your wardrobe. Jennifer&amp;#x27;s satin version looks polished and pretty, especially with the addition of the metallic topper--it&amp;#x27;s such a refreshing alternative for evening! If you&amp;#x27;re not comfortable baring everything and looking like you&amp;#x27;re in a onesie, adding a belt or a blazer is the perfect way to help break up the look. DON&amp;#x27;T: Do head-to-toe pattern. Or any pattern, for that matter. Would you wear a floral top and floral pants at the same time? Then why would you wear an all-floral jumpsuit? Keep the 80s where they belong--in the past--and make this look modern by choosing solid colors, sophisticated fabrics, and an evening-appropriate aesthetic. Anything else will have much too juvenile a feel. Still not convinced the jumpsuit can work for you? Choose one that has wide-leg pants and a forgiving fabric, like flowing jersey, to conceal anything you don&amp;#x27;t feel 100% comfortable showing. Act like it&amp;#x27;s a tube top or a halter top with a great pair of pants, and you&amp;#x27;ll get a feel for what looks right. Shop some of the jumpsuits I&amp;#x27;m currently loving: What do you guys think of the Dos and Don&amp;#x27;ts of wearing jumpsuits? Are these rules enough to tempt you to try out the trend? Or is it still just a little too intimidating? Would you wear a jumpsuit? Photos: Getty Images"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
