Jumpsuits Are a Thing

Here's a thing

This week, NBA point guard Russell Westbrook updated his line for Barney's, a collection of high-fashion-trolling joggers, shirts and generally loud athleisure wear. In this collection, he included a jumpsuit (above, $500) that underlines a summer trend: jumpsuits. Jumpsuits are a thing now.

Rick Owens:

This is listed for $800, used, on StyleForum. It has not been sold.

Once this baby gets on the Uniqlo/Century 21 wave, it's over. Brace for it: Every motherfucker is gonna be out here looking like a "Rocketeer Hits the Hamptons" GQ spread. Zip up.
