I don't mind the jibes. Nothing canout me off a boiler suit's effortless ease.

i own roughly 14 of them, and haverecently found hits in taupe at Holland& Holland and Arjé, which will be myway of wearing this season's palette ofhead-to-toe beige in one fell swoop. I'veeven just discovered two British brandswho specialise in slicked-out versions ofthe boiler with every collection -I'veordered Spry Workwear's navy corduroyand MC Overalls' duck-egg blue cotton.

Then there are the ones that got away:I have lost count of the hours I've whiledaway on Vestiaire Collective searchingout a khaki boiler suit from Céline thatI should have snapped up years ago.

Still, I'm feeling pretty smug: spring/summer 2019 is shaping up to be avintage season for boiler suits -perhapsdesigners have realised that busy workingwomen are seeking time-saving wardrobesolutions. They're cut in everything fromnostalgic tomato red cotton at Hermès,to khaki parachute silk at AlbertaFerretti, to multi-zipped cotton at StellaMcCartney, to loose and cool wool at TilSander. Even the king of gowns,Giambattista Valli, sent a laid-back creamversion down his catwalk. Utility hasgone uptown, and the all-in one is nowservicing board meetings, not boilersBelieve it or not, we have WinstonChurchill to thank in part for that. Hechampioned boiler suits, or "siren suits",in the war years, admiring them for their

protective powers when worn during airraids, but also donning them for smartoccasions. Churchill wore bespokeversions by his shirtmaker, Turnbull &Asser, in pinstripe wool and green velvetto meet top diplomats and presidents.

The smartened-up sentiment feelsparticularly right this season. Boiler suitscan be worn with a rollneck underneathand a blazer through the colder months,and tucked into heeled slouch boots asper Isabel Marant. Come summer, aboiler will work with thong sandals anda tank top, its arms belted around yourwaist ifit gets too hot. Look, too, to newindependent label A Plan Applicationconceived by German artist (and wife ofPeter Saville) Anna Blessmann. "Comingfrom a family of artists, I grew up in aboiler suit, so it was the foundation pieceof my first collection," she says. "It's theultimate can-do piece -an empowering,versatile, easy-to-wear staple that justfeels right in an uncertain world,"

I can't help but agree - though thereare pitfalls. Don't try to visit your localmechanic wearing Givenchy's whitecotton gabardine version, fresh fromresort. I learned the hard way that greasyfinger marks are never a good look
