Britain’s changeable weather has long been a cause for concern among fashionistas, who are forced to weigh up whether they can get away with their lovely new shirt when faced with the threat of a sudden downpour.

Now, though, they can shop in peace, thanks to the launch of a new collection of fashion accessories which change colour in reaction to the weather.

The collection, designed by London design studio The Unseen and now for sale in Selfridges, includes a heat reactive scarf that responds to different sections of the body and a leather backpack that changes colour in response to heat, light, shade and changes in air pressure,according to Creative Review.

“The scarf has five formulas hand-painted within each devoréd section –  we observed how different sections of the body react to specific material and coded each formula to respond to areas like the neck and head, causing deeper colours to flourish around the face then around the body,” The Unseen founder Lauren Bowker told Creative Review.
