Going back to work in January is grim, especially when the time comes to suck into your stomach and squeeze into that power dress. That’s where this COS cardi comes in. Cut to plunge at the neckline and hang by the knees, it veils the two main problem areas – tum and bum – in uber-cosy lambswool. Try a crisp shirt underneath and cropped trousers; showing some ankle will add some inches.

The best way to dress your body shape
If you’ve got a little extra padding after Christmas feasting, don’t bundle up in baggy jumpers and an enormous overcoat.
