Style - Dare to Compare

Designer Rick Owens is known for his sharp cuts and sculptural designs. Case in point? Check his plunge-back crepe jumpsuit (L). A flowing blend of 67 percent rayon, 33 percent silk, this jumpsuit slips on and is sure to make you stand out. With a wide-leg design, v-neck front and plunging back, this is a great alternative to the classic cocktail dress.

Not willing to drop close to 2000 dollars?

Slip into a convertible jumpsuit by Victoria's Secret (R). While it's not silk - VS's jumpsuit is made from a polyester/spandex jersey blend - it's design is certainly comparable (and then some!) to Owens's creation. What I like about VS's jumpsuit is the fact that you can style it more than 10 different ways! From a v-neck front with plunging back, to one-shouldered with a back braid, this one-piece is über-versatile. It features a wide-leg design, and seemingly endless options. Not only is it an excellent alternative to a dress, it's also budget-friendly!
