Whether you wear it long or short, an all-in-one playsuit is the perfect piece for summer.

After years of nothing but dresses, the prevalence of the playsuit (yes, there were a few last year, but this year they’re everywhere!) has been a fashion-forward breath of fresh air. Everyone from Stella McCartney to Missoni sent their take on the trend down the runway. And celebs were quick to give the look their A-list seal of approval. While Maggie Gyllenhaal rocked a silky black Stella McCartney version at the London premiere of The Dark Knight, Selma Blair sported a slinky Marchesa number on the red carpet promoting Hellboy II.

How to wear it: The full-length playsuit can be tricky to pull off. For classic glamour, opt for slinky satin in a dark hue like black or navy and team with heels à la Gwyneth Paltrow, or mix it up with a shorter style in a floral print for a fun weekend look.
