Following a realisation that their image has become too related to sportswear, UK group N-Dubz have decided that it’s time to ditch the tracksuits for cardigans.

The group intend to break America and believe that they must change their image to do so, exchanging their thuggish looking sportswear for more "grown up" attire.

“We’re trying to grow up,” explained producer Fazer. “Everyone thinks they know N-Dubz for tracksuits, but we don’t like that”.

On what the new image would involve, Rapper Dappy added: “From now we’re starting things like cardigans, crazy shirts, these crazy kind of brown trousers, these crazy suave shoes”.  

N-Dubz's latest record (which is at the moment untitled), is due out November 19.
