Consider this a well timed fashion PSA: Dressing for the sofa doesn't have to mean forgetting style altogether. 

We are off the charts excited about the Christmas break. Come 24 December, slumping is very much on the ELLE agenda. However, when we came across this photo of the gorgeous Marilyn Monroe we suddenly found ourselves reconsidering our Christmas packing list. It is unlikely you will be judged for parking yourself on the sofa in a novelty print onesie, with a plate of mince pies and an adult beverage, but just imagine if your Christmas snaps were as timeless as this? 

Resolve to pack classic tops that fall lower on the hips so the elasticated waistbands on your trousers can't be seen. Oh wait, did you think we meant wear trousers with actual zippers and buttons? Don't be silly...
