Clothes to make you happy

Online, October 27, 2009 (Newswire.com) - Can what you wear really affect your mood? Women want clothes they feel comfortable in - but they also want to look good. Can the two go together?

Retucco, Scotland's hottest new label, believes they have found the answer with a fleece that flatters the female form, is easy to wear and does not sacrifice style for practicality.

You can't help but feel fabulous when you're wearing one.

Recently launched in Edinburgh is the 'Happy Fleece', the first in a range of clothes that will put a smile on your face. Made from beautiful fabric, cleverly cut, these fleeces are both chic and comfortable.

Happy Fleeces are not for women who follow the pack, they are timeless classics that can be dressed up or down. Whether you are relaxing with friends après ski in Aspen, or digging in your garden.

Worn with the collar rolled up to keep you cosy when walking the dog on a crisp Autumn morning or rolled down while you're at work, glued to the glare of your computer screen.

Sue Tough, Retucco's Style Director explains: "I have worked in fashion for many years and over that time I have been fascinated by the psychology of clothes and how the clothes you wear can affect your outlook on life.

"Our aim at Retucco is to create clothes that make you feel good and produce positive feelings.

"Our fleeces are worn by women of every age and the feedback we get is they put a spring in your step. They'll take you from the school gates to a glass of wine with the girls after an afternoon's shopping".

Retucco gets to know its customers personally through Twitter and Facebook and it is hoped customers will start to get involved in the design process so that Retucco can continue to create the clothes its customers want.

Happy Fleeces are available only online at www.retucco.com. Colours for the initial release include: black, turquoise, red, cerise, orange and cream. Colours coming for winter include: cerise, charcoal melange and dark sky.

All Retucco clothes are made in Scotland by Name Droppers Manufacturing and distributed by Haven Products, a social enterprise firm providing sustainable employment opportunities for disabled and disadvantaged individuals.
