Can't link, because of the paywall, but if anyone else has seen the picture of Samantha Cameron on the front of today's Sunday Times..... tell me, is this fashionable? Did I miss the memo??

I have the iPad subscription so may see something different to you, but I just see her wearing a white shirt.

PullMySocksUp · 29/03/2015 11:28

Is this the shirt and skirt combo? Saw it on Sky this morning and thought it looked v odd.

MsJupiter · 29/03/2015 11:40

You can see it on this:

It ooks qute optimistic and spring-ish.

ElizabethHoover · 29/03/2015 11:51

She always wears weird clothes

SconessMcFloness · 29/03/2015 12:17

I rardly rate anything she wears....she has such weird taste in clothing....even the summer that outfit would look all wrong.

guilianna · 29/03/2015 12:19

she looks like a Domestic Science teacher in a girls' grammar c1982

guilianna · 29/03/2015 12:20

which may be WILDLY 'now' for all I know
but granny chic works best when you're young enough for the irony to be self evident

Darkchocsprinkles · 29/03/2015 12:49

Boden clearance.

Has to be.

santamarianovella · 29/03/2015 15:34

The skirt is nice, the shirt sleeves are very short and an odd shape, but I think she looks ok

Chilliplantbox · 29/03/2015 18:13

It looks OK. Not my style, but at least she's not in black.

DrankSangriaInThePark · 29/03/2015 18:21

Bloody hell.

I think it's probably classed as what posh 40 something women wear.

(and before the usual posters start on how she's wonderful and we mustn't comment on her clothes, I'd say the same if it was Maureen down the chippy wearing it, it looks like Maria Von Trapp has been at the soft furnishings again, which as others have said, may well be the look we are all supposed to be aiming for but I think I'll give it a miss. My Mum had some tiles a bit like that in the early 70s)

CointreauVersial · 29/03/2015 19:53

Glad it's not just me...

The shirt is a dead-ringer for DD2's school uniform shirt, and as for the skirt.... well, I'm sure I made one very similar in Domestic Science circa 1982. I will of course be delighted if comfortable elastic waistbands are deemed to be back in fashion.

With all her money you'd think she could do better, really.

I don't get it with Sam Cam. Or with Michelle Obama. I don't like either of their dress styles but they are spoken about as stylish women. This outfit is odd.

WipsGlitter · 29/03/2015 20:23

I saw this. I like the skirt but not the elastic waistband. I quite like what she wears and LOVE what Michelle Obama wears!

DarkNavyBlue · 29/03/2015 20:26

I think she looks great.

AnyFucker · 29/03/2015 20:30

I love the skirt, the shirt looks an odd shape and tucked in too fiercely but doesn't she have a great figure and lovely smile ?

OneOrgasmicBirthPlease · 29/03/2015 21:16

Is it wrong that I love it? Yes, it is wildly now as far as I can tell from blogs/magazines. I am not a Tory, but really rate SamCam's style.

Kundry · 29/03/2015 21:25

Love the skirt, hate the shirt. Have never really understood the love for Sam Cam's style, she always looks a bit off to me.

Greengardenpixie · 29/03/2015 21:32

Its frumpy. She looks dowdy quite frankly.

Oly4 · 29/03/2015 21:38

Hate both. Looks like something my mum would have worn when I was a kid

HappyGirlNow · 29/03/2015 21:40

I think re Sam Cam and Michelle Obama, nobody expects politicians' wives to be stylish so if the exhibit even the slightest sign of it then the media go wild.. Personally I find neither of them remotely original or stylish..

StickledPink · 29/03/2015 21:42

Skirts nice . Shirts hideous. I think she has a good figure and can carry most things off nicely.
