Stella McCartney's is already on my Christmas list and will be my outfit of choice on Christmas day when my expanding girth doesn't need restraining with a gladiator belt or any other instrument of fashion torture. No, I will be lounging resplendent in an all-in-one. If Stella McCartney's price tag is a little over your budget then head to COS, you can bag yourself a grey knitted version for £39

All-in-ones should be approached with caution, like any fashion trend there are pitfalls aplenty. The boiler suit type, at MaxMara, should be kept really simple, slouchy is good with a pair of killer heels and scraped back hair. You don't want to pile on the accessories or you will look like a throw back from Fame.

Knitted suits are even trickier. Layering is the key. Throw a Dr. Who scarf around your neck with a baggy cardi and a pair of flat boots and a trench. Spray-on is not the way to go. Banish all thoughts of the catsuit from your mind. The new all-in-one should by baggy and boyish. This look is about style not sex. Try it, you just might like it...
