Since we're dispensing fashion advice to Theresa May Hmm I thought I'd balance the batshit.

I mean, have you seen the colour of his hair? Shock And those glasses?? Shock Shock

I have much less interest in mens fashion than in women's fashion but my advice would be to reconsider the style of glasses.

I don't think there's anything batshit about discussing style on a style forum.

paper bag on head? Too much?

herecomesthsun · 02/07/2016 11:10

Sharp, dark suit, well cut, white shirt.

UnGoogleable · 02/07/2016 11:12

Change the glasses.

Iliveinalighthousewiththeghost · 02/07/2016 11:12

I actually don't think he looks too horrendous.
However I was shocked to hear he's only 43. If he's 43. I'm getting coroneted tomorrow. And if he is, then. He must have had a hard 43 years of life.

Do something with the teeth! There's just no excuse for that. Appointment with a good hygienist and whitened.

feckthemall · 02/07/2016 11:16

43? Holy shit I thought he was late 50s.

Destinysdaughter · 02/07/2016 11:17

Anyone remember Jo 90?😀

Hang on, 43??

Tollygunge · 02/07/2016 11:20

Lip salve. Lots of it to eradicate this white flecks at the corners of his mouth. Gag

MadSprocker · 02/07/2016 11:21

He's 48.

Iliveinalighthousewiththeghost · 02/07/2016 11:21

Oh no. 48 but even so.

OurBlanche · 02/07/2016 11:22

Teeth whitened? How American!

New head, preferably encasing a new brain, perched atop a new body... actually, just be someone else entirely.

Ex teacher with a memory...

SirChenjin · 02/07/2016 11:22

Hmm. ..liking the paper bag suggestion. I would like him to acknowledge his Scottish roots so I'd like to see him in a kilt. Black leather preferably. Teamed with a white shirt, grey suit jacket, and chunky boots, and I'm thinking a 'gay but means business' look

Not a lot possible with that face apart from the Eugene "Honey I shrunk the kids" look.

SirChenjin · 02/07/2016 11:27

No I refuse to accept that - no such thing as an ugly man, just a lazy one, as they say

Stop standing next to his wife. I am continually baffled that someone who purports to be a beauty columnist and makes her living criticizing other women's looks in the Fail can look that bad herself. She needs to ditch all the black and reconsider her hair colour as a matter of urgency.

paper bag on head? Too much?

Or how about a plastic one?

DinosaursRoar · 02/07/2016 11:35

I would suggest after that photo, he gets some looser fitting trousers. We don't need to know how big his balls are...

Iliveinalighthousewiththeghost · 02/07/2016 11:36

His wife makes a living criticising other women's looks. Has she taken a long hard look at herself.
I wouldn't say she was a Cheryl's doppelganger.

justbogoff · 02/07/2016 11:55

Sack cloth and ashes, the odious little man, and his wife is no better.

justbogoff · 02/07/2016 11:56

Wandering that made me spit my tea out!

EnriqueTheRingBearingLizard · 02/07/2016 12:18

I'd say get some glasses that suit your face and if you want to take centre stage, don't dress like a backroom civil servant pushed into the limelight.
I'd say for goodness sake stop gurning, you look ridiculous and incompetent. Oh.

UnGoogleable · 02/07/2016 12:24

And learn how to drink from a glass in a more elegant fashion. URGENTLY.

This is how Michael Gove Drinks
