Fashpolitico has been challenged by @ashmcgregor on her menswear reporting. He is not sure I cut the mustard when it comes to the fashion of the opposite sex. So here are a couple of my recent male fashpolitico spots with some commentary from me. Let me know what you think Ash – have you a better commentary or some more fashionable spots to challenge me with?!
The first is Fashpolitico’s own MP @ChukaUmunna showing the political classes how to dress when marching for an alternative.
The smart coat with a faded dye added a touch of fashion (apparently it is from Zara) whilst the white open necked shirt with a navy cardigan looks smart without falling into the Conservative smart casual cliché of a striped shirt with two buttons undone. A job well done.
My second male fashpolitico of choice is a German MEP, Peter Simon. His thin suits and horn-rimmed glasses are the Mad Men inspired look of the season. But more importantly, I think somehow (and I really do not know how) he also manages to pull off wearing a baseball cap.
@ashmcgregor, I await your verdict!
