What to dress baby in?

I'm sure this has been discussed before but as a mum-to-be to DC1 in december i'm getting somewhat overwhelmed with what i should dress the baby in.
I know they are supposed to be in one more layer than we are, so obviously a bodysuit/vest to start with. I then thought, at least for the first 2 or 3 months, they'll be pretty much exclusively in sleepsuits day and night (obviously with extra layers for going out etc.) However, we were looking in mothercare today and DH thought we should be going for outfits - like trousers and tops during the day and sleepsuits just for bedtiime. I had just assumed that sleep suits/all-in-ones were the done thing because they are easier to change baby in but am i going to be judged as a bad mother if i don't go for the little outfits?

Remember at the end of the day a mums instinct is amazing when ur holding them u will know what to do. Also what we did was put money on like vouchers for tesco and kept them for when baby was born so we coul buy extras. Oh but I will say I did have problem with sleep suits that go sideways and not button up sstraightdown the middle. As James foot kept falling out of them as he was so wriggly. XX again tho remember being a parent is a learning curve and u will learn and no. XX

I had a pair of soft cotton lined denim dungarees from H&M in size 2-4 months which dd is only growing out of now at a chunky 6mo and they seemed to be perfectly comfortable and as they were lined were cosy too
