Is it just ME?

Or are playsuits the work of the devil?

I’M AWARE this probably doesn’t make me a very nice person, but I have to admit the sight of Kate Moss looking frankly ridiculous in a playsuit and stiletto heels has brought a certain glow to my week.

Not only because it proves even supermodels are human, but also — and mainly — because it confirms my theory that the playsuit, currently 2018’s go-to clothing staple, is in fact the work of the devil.

Every now and again, fashion does this to us. Takes an item of clothing suited to a minority of individuals — in this case glamour models and infants below two — and declares it the new musthave of the season.

The rules are simple. It must be unflattering (check), require the wearer to be a size 10 or below (check) and expose large amounts of ungovernable flesh (check).

The playsuit ticks all the fashion tyrants’ boxes. It’s one of those items of clothing that, while clearly conceived to be a bit racy, in practice is anything but.

It just makes the wearer look like they’re off to a slightly kinky fancy dress party, or that they have left the house in nightwear.

It is neither fish nor fowl: a pair of shorts attached to a top guarantees that at least one, and often both, will ride up or down.

The playsuit has a middle section that either requires a belt, or makes the wearer look like a sack of potatoes, and a bottom half that challenges even the most famously lovely of legs, as demonstrated by La Moss.

Plus it requires wholesale removal every time the wearer needs the loo.

So, tempting as it may be to rush to M&S and buy the Rosie for Autograph £35 palm-print version for an afternoon in the park, I must urge you resist. This is one summer trend we should all sit out.
