Guatemalan playsuit, £40 by Kate Moss Topshop

Believe it or not, this is actually an incredibly flattering piece. The embroidered detail and cute beaded shoulder ties draw attention away from a curvy midriff while the black elongate the torso. Add funky Aviators and you're all set.

Six of the Best Playsuits

Granted there's not much fabric in the current crop of playsuits but if you've got shapely limbs, a traffic-stopping behind and megawatt confidence then this is the look for you. And no, they're not the exclusive domain of teenagers - Ms Moss and Helena Christenson have already put paid to that. Go for Stella McCartney' parachute silk or hit the high street in Jane Norman' curve-sculpting denim or Topshop' more casual interpretation. Statement dressing like this requires minimal accessories: anything more than shades and a funky wedge is simply de trop. Play on!
