Smart Clothes You Can Move In
By Gary Kingsnorth last updated
The UK’s top acrobatic troupe BMT put the latest sportswear and smart tailoring combinations through their vigorous paces

These gravity-defying individuals are the Barely Methodical Troupe, whose blend of dance and balancing on top of each other has made them Britain’s hottest young acrobats. They will be staging the world premiere of their new show KIN on 20th-24th April as part of CircusFest 2016 (opens in new tab) at The Roundhouse (opens in new tab) – and they’ve kindly lent their jaw-dropping athleticism to the first Coach fashion special, testing the ease of movement in the latest sportswear and tailoring. If they can pull off these moves in these clothes, they should suffice for everyone else. You try these moves in the office at your own risk.
