Blame it on the runways all you like (at Prada and Halpern, spray-on bodysuits came with striking patterns that bring a whole new meaning to the term “all-in-one”), but early adopters have been giving legs—and arms… and everything in-between—to the movement, too.

Of course, not all catsuits are made equal, and this season, the range looks set to be democratic. In addition to Marcia’s, there’s the sporty “just left the gym” take that you can layer with sweats, and there’s also the second skin, which is great for a party and keeping you warm.
