A wardrobe staple, the white shirt is something that everyone should own, but it can be a bit of a problem garment when you're trying to do almost anything in your day to day life, as it absorbs and seemingly attracts stains like nothing else. 

Well, those days may well be gone, thanks to a new invention from Elizabeth & Clarke that promises to revolutionise fashion for even the most sloppy coffee drinkers and sandwich eaters among us: the unstainable white shirt. 

Using a fancy futuristic nanotech coating that rejects liquids and dirt by "disrupting the hydrogen bond that binds together water molecules", this shirt will not give in to the everyday demands that you put on it. According to Fast Company, it's not going to feel like weird plastic or strange material either, given the fact that it's a coating applied to the garment: "the magic material uses liquid-repelling fibers that are 100,000 times smaller than a grain of sand, applied to fabric through a bathing and curing process. These fibers sit on top of otherwise normal silk and cotton textiles". 

Apparently it will be able to last for several years (up to 10) and won't make you sweat like a mad yoke either, which is why the Kickstarter page hoping to bring this idea to shops around the world has blasted past its goal and, at the time of writing, has already gotten $86,000 worth of backing. 

Seriously, this is a game changer right here folks. The shirt in the video (as you can probably tell) is made with women in mind, but given its success to date, there's surely got to be a men's version on the way.
