It seems like whenever I need a special outfit for a particular occasion, a romper or jumpsuit is my go-to. Does this happen to you? Let it be known that I own my fair share of rompers, enough that I am making this look book of 14 romper outfit ideas! Allow me to show you how to easily throw together a romper look with accessories and layering, while also exploring different colors and patterns. From a casual look to go shopping, all the way up to outfits you can wear on a date or to a party, I have it all. Like usual, you can shop similar items for each look and ultimately copy my style.
14 Romper Outfit Ideas
A Girl’s Day Out
The first outfit in my romper outfit ideas look book is girly and elegant, yet you can totally wear it to get your errands done. Your eyes easily notice the vibrant hues of the flowers, and I am choosing to pull out the hot pink tones with the statement handbag. With all of the bright colors going on, a simple necklace is best. In the same vein, basic black shoes help control the vibrancy situation, but gladiator straps add additional interest.

Bohemian Flair
Second is a look that screams boho. Do not be fooled into thinking this look is stolen from basic black romper outfit ideas. For starters, it has a surplice front, which is a special extra. It leaves the perfect area for a layered necklace. I knew this romper had to be paired with these exact gladiator sandals before I even owned them. You better believe I went to the store the night before I wanted to wear this for the first time to grab them! Finally, a fringe handbag is the ultimate boho finishing touch.

Paint The Town Red
Third is a red romper outfit that you will want to bookmark for your next date night! The material has a feeling that reminds me of dress pants in some ways, but the crochet lace details are on point. Gold always looks nice with red, so why not go with a gold handbag. Neutral shoes are also a fine choice with red, especially if you want to avoid wearing red shoes that do not match the shade exactly. The necklace matches every element in this outfit.

Let’s Lavender About It
Fourth is a lavender moment that is not to be missed. Besides the fact that it is off-the-shoulder, it features bell-sleeves and lace-up details. In my typical extreme matching fashion, round silver earrings match the holes for the laces. The iridescent handbag mostly shows purple in the light, so it matches well, but you will also note that it has silver accents. Neutral shoes are a safe choice.

Who Wore It Better?
Fifth in this romper outfit ideas look book is an amazing option for transitional fall weather! You can always go for a long sleeve romper and booties if you need to lean on the warmer side. Cognac and burgundy are match made in fashion heaven, so the bootie and handbag choices are coming in heavy. You can never go wrong by incorporating some fringe. The stacking bangle bracelets bring all the shine.

Coral Conundrum
Next is the most simple style out of all these romper ideas! Can you say comfy and casual? This coral romper slips right on, plus it features pockets. Flat shoes will have you up and out the door in a hurry. Cognac also loves coral, hence the handbag and shoe pairing. Studs on any item add extra pizzazz in a flash. A dainty necklace pulls the outfit together, yet all of the final accents are gold.

A Fierce Pairing
Here is a party romper idea if there ever was one. This unique shade of dusty blue invites you to incorporate leopard, which I am accomplishing with a handbag. Cognac heels pull the hue out of the handbag, plus they add dressy vibes. The jewelry set is so glam that it is practically blinding the camera.

A Little Beachy
Continuing on, we have stripes that make me think everything beach, although it also has patriotic flair. White sandals go with the striping in a neutral way that does not compete with the pattern. A rattan handbag solidifies the beachy feel. White tassel earrings are so playful, but also control the colors. I cannot skip a chance to incorporate a pineapple in somewhere!

Fashion in Flight
If you are in need of some white romper outfit ideas, look no further than this unique piece featuring birds! As if that detail is not enough, it has a cute tie front with keyhole action. To keep up with the crisp white, I am sticking with white sandals and a neutral handbag. Often, I let the outfit tell me what color the accents should be, and I am feeling silver. The clutch is all studded out, and it pulls the bar earrings and cuff bracelet into the theme.

Overdressed For The Party
Pressing on with the romper outfit ideas, this is another party look that I quite enjoy. The light baby blue color works lovely with tan shoes and the handbag. Since the flowers are white, jewelry with white accents feeds your inner matching beast. Can we take a moment to appreciate all of the lacing on the romper itself?! She look so delicate and elegant.

Layering Game
Sometimes you might feel stumped about what to wear with a romper. In this case, I can wear the romper on its own, but something about it makes me want to layer it over a shirt. From here, I can go with a flat shoe, or even a sneaker if I want a more casual look. However, I am doing a wedge heel sandal in white to match the shirt. The pink and gold handbag matches the romper, but makes it more obvious I am aiming to look dressy. I like how the necklace simply lays on the shirt. Rose gold and pink always look cute.

So You Are Not a Model?
This next outfit is a good example of how to get a grip on your short romper outfit ideas. This particular romper is not necessarily short on me, but, you can always balance out the extra leg showing with tall boots/shoes. I need to take a moment to discuss how darn unique this entire outfit is. In real life, I cannot name the color of this romper! What do you think it is? I swear, it is not mustard, green, gold, or yellow. But, it is covered in feminine ruffles, and the back is not to be ignored. Further, these shoes are like the love child of gladiators, Mary Jane’s, and boots! I like how the taupe shoes work with the unusual yellow tone. The neck area is way too revealing, and I always counteract that with a bralette. A necklace in the chest area also helps tone things down. All accents are gold, even down to the buckles on the shoes.

Take Me to the Gift Shop
Once per year I am blessed to do outfit photography at my favorite place in the entire world. In 2020 I shot a look for my tulle skirts post. Here in 2021 I decided why stop at one outfit, when I can do two! The final two outfits are from my trip, which is why I take more than the normal three to four pictures.
When I dress for a special occasion, I typically add extra jewelry and layering to ensure each detail is special. This outfit starts with the romper itself. You can totally wear it on its own, and I have pictures to display that. But, I want to work with the striping. I am opting for a mustard kimono, but you can layer with any piece that matches whatever color in the striping you want to accentuate.
Since the romper is rust, I do not want to abandon that while I go on a mustard trip. Earrings are the best option here, as I feel a necklace would be too much going on with the striping, keyhole feature, and bedazzled kimono. Since I am being extra, a huge quartz cocktail ring is imperative. Plus, the cuff bracelet continues the slight boho theme that is happening. The handbag is also rusty.
Shoes were quite a conundrum here, as I do not want to incorporate too many colors and risk looking like a clown. Cognac is the safest choice. Flat shoes were a requirement because I was walking all day, but that does not mean that style needs to be thrown out the window. The gold chain accent is to die for! I would have done heeled peep-toe bootie sandals if I did not need to walk.

Unicorn Cotton Candy Dreams
The last look in my romper outfit ideas makes me think of both unicorns and cotton candy. Do not make me decide! When I wear this romper I have the uncontrollable urge to spin around like a ballerina, as the bottom portion looks like a skirt. Since the romper throws so many colors at you, I am doing everything else in white. Braided sandals add a special touch. I really do not have rhyme or reason for the earrings, besides the fact they spoke to me. The slouchy handbag is super trendy. Also, the Unicorn Brit ponytail matches the romper perfectly. Honestly, I cannot stand it! A lady literally came over to our dinner table to tell me how much she liked my entire look. There is no other hair to wear with this romper period (except for the Unicorn Miley buns).
