Are Men Seriously Wearing This?

2017 Men's fashion trend winner.

Men's fashion has been through a pretty crazy roller coaster ride over the last 5 years. We have seen some unique, quirky, and over-the-top trends. For example, the iconic man bun that just recently burned out. The circle sunglasses make everyone look like a weird French interior designer and many other weird things. However, now we have the biggest, quirkiest trend to date, one that will definitely be written in the history books. This year's winner of the most out-of-the-box men's fashion trend is the MALE ROMPER!!

Yes, you heard me correctly: the Male Romper does exist. Not only does it exist, but it is also sweeping the nation faster than Donald Trump jokes. So, What sparked this weird trend? Well, this question is still somewhat a mystery but, here is what we do know: In May 2017 a couple of guys from Chicago launched a Kickstarter campaign to design a male romper. Their Idea exploded, and within 5 days, they managed to raise over $350,000. Now, small boutique romper e-commerce sellers are popping up all over the internet.  

We decided to see what everyone was raving about. So we recently googled male romper and found one of the few companies selling online. We came across RomperJack. RomperJack has four generic romper colors: navy blue, salmon, light blue, and white.  Because of the raving popularity of this trend, what was odd was that we could only find two stores selling online that were not doing pre-sales.  We decided to order Romper Jack's original Navy Blue Romper. It took a little while to receive the order, probably due to the overwhelming number of previous orders being fulfilled.  We received the product about 10 days later and let me tell you I was excited when this thing arrived, it was actually pretty cool.  

 

It came in nice packaging neatly wrapped in nautical-style roped ribbon. The Romper is made out of 100% woven cotton and has a solid stitched feel.  It was perfectly fitted, slim fitted, to be exact.   The material was thin and breathable.   The only negative part was getting the romper on and off.  My brain was still trying to figure out the muscular movement needed to wiggle into a onesie jumpsuit.  It's rather awkward to get into and out of, oh, and don't ever wear a romper if you are having bathroom issues that day. Going to the restroom in a romper is not ideal; you literally have to take the whole thing off to go number #2. Throughout the day, the Romper Jack was easy to move around in, and it was surprisingly comfortable.  I wore it for about 6 hours with no problem at all, and guess what? I would probably do it again.

My Final Thoughts

Male Rompers are definitely going to stick around.  I believe many colors and designs will continue to be developed.  The trend will continue to grow and spread across the US over the next couple of months.  I would recommend every male to own at least one of these, not just because they are comfortable but because they are also a great ice breaker.
