Warm front

Japanese lingerie company Triumph is dreaming up a fluffy new line in eco-friendly clothing. Its heated bra features padded gel inserts that can be warmed up in the microwave. Fetchingly modelled with a matching dual purpose furry boa/winter scarf, it’s supposedly designed to lower the temperature in the office – by encouraging workers to look to their clothes for winter comfort rather than turning up the thermostat and burning more fossil fuel. And so much more uplifting than a woolly sweater, too.
