It can be argued that, other than obvious physiological, anatomical and biological differences between women and men, perhaps one of the major reasons holding back women’s optimal performance in sports are bouncing boobs. Don’t you think? Seriously, when you’ve done some form of high-intensity or high-impact sports activity before, like basketball, you must know that we have a point. High Impact Sports Require High Impact Support Yet, with the availability of high-impact bras, there really isn’t any excuse when it...

A trio of bikini-clad beauties braved the chilly capital in a bid to raise awareness for crocodiles being used in high fashion. The beauties wore fake crocodile masks as part of their snappy protest against the likes of Louis Vuitton for using their leather to make expensive bags. Holding banners, the trio crashed the first day of London Fashion Week, while shouting "Animals Die for Exotic Skins" and "Cruelty to Crocodiles Unmasked." The action, at The Strand in central London...

Valentine's Day is on the horizon and the sticky issue going through the minds of every taken man in the country is; what should I buy the missus? Flowers are safe, chocolates are safer and jewellery lands in the same minefield occupied by makeup and toiletries - not to be touched. But with clothes you feel like you might just have a shout. Not according to the vast majority of British women. A new survey has found a huge eight in...

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...

We’ve all heard of ASOS – the UK’s largest independent online fashion and beauty retailer that features over 60,000 branded and own label products across both menswear and womenswear (incidentally, I once spent my life savings on 1,000 penny shares in ASOS, and then lost my nerve and sold them at 1p...  aaaagghhhh!). But, while ASOS is known worldwide and experiencing incredible success, it isn’t the only platform for online shopping. As record numbers of us are using the Internet to...

How long do you spend each morning wrapped in a towel staring to the abyss of your wardrobe wondering what to wear? According to new research British women spend an average of 17 minutes a day rifling through their wardrobes, and it's sending the country into a rage. Almost one in five British women admit they have ended up upset or angry at not finding an outfit they are happy with on a morning, according to a new study, and 15 per cent even say...

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...
