Wearable technology has come a long way from its awkward roots. But what about clothing? UK-based DressCode Shirts has found inspiration for its designs from the tech world, but now it is moving further into wearable technology with the Cash Cuff. The feature allows you to pay for your lunch or dinner with a contactless chip embedded in your shirt. You load money on to the virtual credit card via an app on your phone, and the payment function can be turned on and off as you see fit. The Cash Cuff is expected to go on sale later this year. dresscodeshirts.co.uk
