Style it your way!

One of the things I love about the Lainey Romper is how versatile it is. You can sew it up in athletic fabrics for a sporty vibe - hello Pilates, toss on a jean jacket on for those cooler evenings, or even make it out of swim for the perfect poolside outfit.

Lainey Romper  styling guide

  • Beach Babe: Pair your Lainey Romper with a sun hat, some shades, your favorite sandals and a beach bag and head out for some fun in the sun in style. 
  • Athleisure: Pilates in the park? Yoga at the studio? Or go full beast mode at the gym in your Lainey Romper that will help you get the job done! As long as you've got some water and some tunes you'll be alright!
  • Comfy Chic:  Put on your one and done Lainey Romper and accessorize! Add a jean jacket, a ball cap and earrings and you've got yourself a cute, simple and put together look in no time flat!

However you style it, Lainey is sure to become a staple in your handmade wardrobe.
