17 summer playsuits that are perfect for frolicking

Playsuits - the shorter, cuter version of jumpsuits - are summer perfection.

Comfortable, practical and playful, playsuits are the cooler alternative to a summer dress - easy to throw on and versatile. They make deciding what to wear very easy (they're the perfect solo project), and there's a lot to be said for a onesie that you can actually wear to work.

Aside from the toilet issue (nothing will make you feel more vulnerable than sitting on the toilet at work half naked in a playsuit), we adore them as a definitive spring staple.

They make great wedding guest outfits, and are perfect festival clothing, for lazy days in the park and your summer holiday (they're a hard-working piece).
