what fashion advice would you give Theresa May

[CreepingClematis]

?
Please don't let this descend into a gender issue- quite happy to discuss male politicians too.

But if she is to be PM as looks likely she needs some serious intervention. Her outfit today was ghastly- a cheap shot a wearing tartan to unite the UK.
Her blouse is gaping around her tummy showing skin.

Since she's been in politics, her hair has gone grey, she has terrible eye bags, and she looks much older than she is imo.

Yes, of course her work is the most important thing, but over the years her outfits have been a huge distraction - the garish patchwork coat, the evening dress showing her shoulders , and more....

I think she looks great. Elegant.

She's been diagnosed with diabetes so she probably has a few physical challenges to be on top of. I'd love her to be PM right now.

[Mrsmaudwatts]

My first bit of advice would be to get a new job. Then she can wear what the fuck she likes!

[DubiousCredentials]

^^what they said.

[Clangersarepink]

Strangely, when I saw May's photos I was thinking "I wonder what sort of PM she'll make?"

[TheLittlestBear]

Is this the same tartan suit Cara Delavine wore?

[Hellonlegs]

She should wear whatever she feels comfortable in - but perhaps a blouse which doesn't gape and strain around the buttons...

[hollyisalovelyname]

That whatever she has been doing in the past continue ... at her peril.
Christine Lagarde always looks well.

[IHeartKingThistle]

I liked her old hair.

I think we're allowed to discuss hair AND politics. We're women. We can do it all.

We can discuss Michael Gove's hair too if you like

[cressetmama]

her appearance is much improved from a few years ago. She appears to be on top of the diabetes, and generally looks as though she's bothered just enough, then decided which shoes will rock it a bit. I think she looks okay.

[CreepingClematis]

well, I think it's one faux pas after another.
At the weekend she was pictures coming out of church wearing jeans, a quilted jacket and a blouse. Fair enough but the jeans were high waisted, no belt, slight tummy bulge, and worst of all they had been pressed so they had a crease down the leg. It looked like a bad 1980s outfit.

Last Tory conference she came in for some stick as she wore an off the shoulder (one shoulder ) black dress. A few years back she appeared in an evening gown that was a terrible fit and did her no favours- strapless and showing wobbly cleavage and fat upper arms - not a good look. She tries to make a 'aren't I glam' statement but she ends up looking cheap and dated at the same time.

[CreepingClematis]

I just think that for someone in the public eye- as Home Sec or likely PM- she needs some guidance.

[WipsGlitter]

The gaping shirt wasn't good. I preferred her old hair. She had funnel neck coat that was super.

[bojorojo]

Mrs T used to look dated too. All pussy bows and mumsy. She looked terrif a few years later when she went to Russia. She just need a stylist that understands women of a certain age! (And be willing to spend a bit of money). Christine Lagarde is the No 1 in the perfect dressing stakes. It's easy for her, she's French and it is in her DNA. Theresa May is slim and just needs some help. Skirts a tad longer and dresses would look better. At least she is not in a Frau Merkel trouser suit!

[Eliza22]

I don't care. She has a huge job to do, if she's elected. She could wear a bin liner for me, as long as she sorts out this mess.

[Doobigetta]

No, sorry. I love S&B, but she isn't out there asking for fashion advice, so anyone thinking of giving it needs to wind their neck in. She's a politician, not a model. We really need to stop judging other women on their appearance if it is irrelevant to the reason they are in the public eye. This is what holds all of us back, just stop it.

[dudsville]

So what if she had a tummy bulge. She's not an athletics Coach. And she's not a personal stylist. Or a model. ...

[BabyGanoush]

I think she looks just fine.

[BabyGanoush]

Better than Gove and his hideous wife!

[BackforGood]

Exactly what doobigetta said.

Unbelievable that you think its acceptable to tear apart a politician's appearance when she's always smart, clean and presentable.

I love the s&b boards when people ask for help, , but find it pretty pathetic that in 2016 you are judging a politicians capabilities on if you approve of her clothes choices and

[TheSpottedZebra]

What's the problem with her shoulders?
You've mentioned them a bit, so I feel it's quite a grave issue for you, OP.

[FourFlapjacksPlease]

I don't give a fuck what she wears. I am quite depressed that her hair, eye bags and outfit are being criticised by other women. I think its a sad reflection of our society.

If she does her job well she can wear a bikini and deeply boppers for all I care.

[29redshoes]

I'd tell her to wear whatever she likes!

[HopeClearwater]

What Flapjacks said.

Although I am finding it really hard not to criticise that awful Sarah Vine by reference to her appearance. We are so conditioned to have a go at women's looks. So far, am succeeding in restricting myself to simply mouthing off about her 'accidental' leaked email.

[needastrongone]

She's looks perfectly fine. She's potentially the next PM. I'd rather listen to what comes out of her mouth than what she wears.

How about picking up on Boris and his unkempt and flustered look? Doesn't stop him being highly astute and savvy.

[OlennasWimple]

She does have someone advising her about her fashion choices

This article from a couple of years ago is interesting
