Set your inner chameleon free.

A colour-change sweater is now on sale which morphs from yellow to orange depending on the air temperature.

The Ice Knit comes from tech-loving clothing brand Stone Island.

Previously colour-change technology, such as 90s’ mainstay Global Hypercolor, reacted to the wearer’s body temperature.

The Ice Knit is different because it reacts to the external temperature.

It means there are no awkward sweat-patch shapes in the contrasting colours, although it is still possible to make hand prints.

As well as the sweater, Stone Island’s AW 17/18 range includes a zipped hooded-cardigan and a beanie hat.

Stone Island has a history of applying innovative design and tech to its fashions.

While the Ice Knit is the first thermo-sensitive sweater, the company’s first such piece was the Ice Jacket which launched in 1989 and has evolved in different colours and styles since then.
