While our waistbands are tight, our bank balances even tighter and our attempts at a January detox nothing short of depressing, may we suggest fashion’s most inviting trend so far - sofawear...
As the name suggests, it is designed to be worn where any self-respecting mother should be found after the madness of Christmas – lying flat-out on the sofa. Here are our most stylish sources. So breathe and relax.
