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

Plastic bag over his head.
I loathe his bottom lip.
It must be like kissing a carp

Karaoke you say? Y'know - it might just work.

I'm going to be a tiny bit contentious (just because this is politics...) and say you would have to include the SNP - they tend to get very upset at Westminster just for being there, so it would only be right to include his kinsfolk - a rousing version of 'Michael, where's yer troosers' might just bring the House back together.

Failing that, it's the plastic bag and the Thames.

I'd say think Michael Caine as Harry Palmer. He's now got a rep as the ultimate political assassin so slim cut black Italian style suit (but from Savile Row) and going much heavier with the glasses would be good.

That may be what he wears already, I haven't really looked at him before

Ok you can have the snp involved, as long as they promise to perform Micheal where's yer troosers, and Tony Blair gets to perform his hit 'smells like bullshit' from his comeback album 'Nevermind about the weapons of mass destruction'.

Jesus you should have put a warning on that link. I nearly visited at the sight of his flubbery lips on that glass Envy

Elfontheedge · 02/07/2016 18:18

*vomited. Bloody autocorrect!

Get a pair of those hulk hands.

Never, never take them off.

Those little clammy pixie hands really freak me out.

If I had to shake one I'd have to work hard not to recoil in horror.

And learn how to clap...

That's not clapping - that's secret signalling to Boris 'I let myself into your house and my dog shagged your pillow. You are now dead to the Tories'

Eeeeeew - Gove, Boris, dog, shagging and pillow in the same sentence. Life is just not right at the moment.

I saw a picture of him at university...he is one of those people that looks the same age for most of their adult life...I agree with the previous posters unfortunately. His 'personality' shines through and no amount of restyling would make him attractive because of this!

MitzyLeFrouf · 02/07/2016 23:14

Some shoes with grippy soles?

Not to wear his waistbands so high/tighten his belt so much

What fashion advice would you give Michael Gove?
Shiningexample · 02/07/2016 23:39

he looks like he's from the 1950's

I think new glasses would be the place to start

Allalonenow · 02/07/2016 23:48

He needs to start going to the same tailor as Prince Charles, and to get some facial work done to firm up his chin, also he should change his hairstylist pronto.

Shiningexample · 03/07/2016 00:07

he needs a trouser intervention and no mistake :o
his body is rather womanly with the wide hips
some press ups to balance it out and give him some shoulders maybe?

RebelandaStunner · 03/07/2016 00:28

A nice neck tattoo with the words 'I'm a backstabbing lying piece of shit' would be quite fetching.
Every time I see him I think of the boy to mouse transformation in The Witches.

momofone69 · 03/07/2016 00:59

I wouldn't, he's a politician not a fashion model!

HandInGove · 03/07/2016 10:21

Rebel's advice with the tattoo would be a responsible public health warning to voters (or colleagues), and could also look quite stylish done in a fancy script etc.

But there's no fashion advice going to sort out the public's impression of Gove as a nasty weasel with terrifying political ideas. WYSIWYG with him.
