There is a lot of talk around body shapes and which style of coat, dress, trouser, suits your physique; particularly if you’re a woman, but men are often forgotten. With the colder seasons right around the corner, Superdry has created this graphic to help men get the right jacket/coat for their body shape. Particularly if you’ve booked an Autumn/Winter trip away, packing your bag perfectly for the colder weather is something that you should always get right first time round,...

Free range meat – check. Against animal tested products – check. Ethical sustainable clothing – err…… but Primark!!!  This is awkward. I am just as guilty as most people who try and make the effort to live a more ethical life; I have gaping blind spots.  It appears I care more about animal welfare than people.  I do get blinded by a bargain and have dismissed organic, sustainable, and ethical clothing as too expensive, weirdly patterned or based on the fear that I...

Team GB have unveiled the formal wear for the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro. The suits are modelled by super heavyweight boxer Joe Joyce and gymnast Nile Wilson to highlight the diversity of sizes, with 30-year-old Joe weighing in at 17 stone and a huge 6ft 5ins tall compared to 20-year-old Nile, who is just 5ft 4in and nine-and-a-half stone. Accrington-based Simon Jersey designed the suits for 350 athletes – Team GB’s largest ever away team – in a process which...

Scientists have unveiled a formula for why socks go missing. The so-called 'sock loss index' has been created by Psychologist Dr Simon Moore and leading statistician Dr Geoff Ellis and takes a variety of sock-related factors into account to calculate the probability of socks going missing. For the mathematicians out there, it looks something like this:  (L(p x f)+C(t x s))-(P x A) Samsung commissioned the scientists to promote the launch of its new AddWash washing machine which allows you to...
