In the summertime, and all the time, dresses are everything. I'm not all about that short life, but you know what I am about? Rompers. Rompers take the best two summertime apparel types and makes them better. Honesty, rompers > all other summer clothing if you actually think about it. Here's why.

1. You have all the mobility of shorts and all the cuteness of a dress.

Even though I personally wear dresses when doing things like moving furniture and playing fun outdoor games, that doesn't mean I'm in the majority. As a matter of fact, I actually think that I'm the 1 percent in this matter. If you're wearing a romper, you can do all the moving or game playing that you want, and still be hella cute and even go to a nice dinner afterwards. It's a win-win.

2. No matching.

Sure this also holds true for dresses, but it's such a plus. If you're wearing shorts or pants, you have to worry about matching and complimenting both pieces. Not with a romper! You just stick that little baby on and go!

3. They're flattering on every body type.

Most rompers cinch in at the waist, making them appear high-waisted, which is literally flattering on everyone. I dare you to tell me someone doesn't look good in something high-waisted.

4. You can dress them up or down so easily.

Put on a sweater and heels — and boom — you're business casual. Throw on some flip flops, and you're casual AF. The fashion world is your oyster when you're equipped with a romper.

5. The patterns.

There are solid colored rompers, stripes, florals, chevron, lace — literally anything your little heart desires.

6. It confuses people in the best way possible.

When I wear rompers, so many people think I'm wearing a dress. Surprise, sir or ma'am, it's a romper! A lot of people are confused about rompers. We need to educate them. Stay in school, kids.

7. Pockets.

Most rompers have pockets! Sometimes you'll get lucky enough to find a dress with pockets, but it's less likely. And yes — most, if not all, shorts and pants have pockets, but it's not as fun as when a romper has pockets.

8. The perfect beach or pool cover up.

You can just causally wear your bathing suit under your romper all day, and no one will even know. It's that good of a cover up! Plus you can wear it to eat before or after and feel totally comfortable. I have done this many times.

So, now that we've had this talk, I suggest you discard your entire wardrobe and replace it with only rompers. You'll save time and money, and drawer space. It's OK, you can thank me later.
