The jumper that keeps you cool

As hard as it might be to believe, we're on the verge of summer weather.

Honest. It's on the way. Just be patient.

So when the sweltering heat comes (yes, it will be sweltering), you'll soon start bemoaning the perils of going to work without coating yourself in sweat. Depressingly, most workplaces probably aren't t-shirt friendly so you're going to have to improvise.

No luck? Yeah we thought so. Well, we have an idea.

The Alan Paine Ice Cool Knitwear range aims to provide you with a smart set of work outfits but without the heat exhaustion that often comes alongside. They've sourced a new yarn which combines Supima Cotton and Clima fibres which manage to keep you cool in the hot weather.

The terrifyingly self-aware fabric reacts to your heat throughout the day and ensures you never get too toasty.

The pieces are available from www.alanpaine.co.uk and selected stockists nationwide.
