AIBU to think Sam Cam wears horrible clothes?

I have seen her in about two nice outfits ever. She seems nice enough, but for someone with such a high public profile I just think "Um...is that the best you could come up with?" The shirt waister she wore on Voting Day made her look like a 70s beautician. She has the height and a great figure for clothes.

She dresses, presumably, to please herself. Not you. So therefore YABU. I think it's a bit unkind when women criticise other women on something so superficial.

funnyossity · 09/05/2015 20:07

She is fashionable but since i don't follow fashion I just never "get" what he is wearing.

OrlandoWoolf · 09/05/2015 20:08

What about the men?

Suits.

Her life. Her clothes.

EmilyMaitliss · 09/05/2015 20:08

I agree. That horrid bottle green thing she wore to the royal wedding, with no hat and an attitude of "I'm so fabulous I don't have to try too hard " was an insult to the bride & groom, I thought.

I thought her dress was horrible. She has an eviable figure, yet dresses a bit oddly for someone with money for stylists etc!( maybe she does and that look is in) I am no fashionista and no dress sense myself, but if i were as slim as her i would be over the moon and defo be a bit better dressed! She always looks a bit bored at times too. She took her cardigan to the royal wedding!

The80sweregreat · 09/05/2015 20:11

No, thats not a naice image! ..

MissMogwi · 09/05/2015 20:13

Nice.

She probably dresses in stuff she likes, you know, like the rest of us.

tabulahrasa · 09/05/2015 20:13

I don't know, it was fairly clever of her to wear the results map in dress form

funnyossity · 09/05/2015 20:14

The Scottish Green leader has a slightly quirky style at times.

Farage wears an old fashioned coat...Vince Cable a dodgy hat...

AuntyMag10 · 09/05/2015 20:14

Yabu and people think men are the worst critics of women!

GloGirl · 09/05/2015 20:15

Yabu, it's not what Id pick but it's relatively bold and reflective of a strong personality.

I think she's trying to walk a fine line being in the public eye.

Just had a Google of what she wore to the Royal wedding, what a beautiful dress! But very distasteful not wearing a hat. I suppose she is a rebel at heart.

PunkrockerGirl · 09/05/2015 20:16

YANBU. Nice looking woman, style sense of a bag lady Confused

ScarlettDarling · 09/05/2015 20:17

NoArmani !!!!! Shock

Annunziata · 09/05/2015 20:17

Yes, and for the money and figure, she is dreadful looking! She had this most ridiculous little tiny top hat thing on last time I saw her.

GloGirl · 09/05/2015 20:17

She also has to br careful, if she dresses any more muted she will be compared unfavourably to Princess Catherine.

Fairylea · 09/05/2015 20:17

I think she's very attractive and some of her outfits are nice.

Her taste in men however. .... Wink

SaucyJack · 09/05/2015 20:18

tabulahrasa- have you seen the pic of Maggie Simpson next to the political map?

I dunno OP. I don't know enough about fashion to critique her style. Most people dress pretty horribly to my eyes cos I only wear black.

The80sweregreat · 09/05/2015 20:20

I liked Farages 1950s type get up. It suited him. ( not his policies before i get grief) the welsh leader had a nice dress sense. It must be hard being in the public eye knowing what to wear, glad i dont have that to worry about personally.

This.

Yes Farage looked ready for a trip to the horse racing or the dog track. Always ended up at the pub though!

OrlandoWoolf · 09/05/2015 20:22

It's a good thing female politicians aren't judged by what they wear and look like.

Hang on - they are. Wake up, it's the 21st c. Stop commenting and policing women's appearance.

KateBeckett · 09/05/2015 20:22

YABU to care really...

Agrestic · 09/05/2015 20:23

I like her style.

RhoticSpeaker · 09/05/2015 20:26

I think she usually looks good, but she did get some negative comments in the US when she wore this to the White House dinner the Obamas gave in their honor. Some people thought it looked too casual. I am guessing the fabric was much more elegant than it looked in photographs.

AIBU to think Sam Cam wears horrible clothes?
