The Politics of Fashion

     Dressing accordingly can be a minefield, whether for business or leisure, especially for politicians. After the trip to be an MP CEO to the industry, I know that I prefer the choice and the freedom that came with my new life in the economy, it comes.

Too bad the politicians are always supervised when public attention. For politicians, it is of course much worse than it is for women, high-profile politicians and not so high profile.

I still like to remember those days when I was just getting to wear a tie in the room. Take them outside Chambers Tie a modernizer in seconds!

The life of a politician is nothing but varied and the unwritten dress code can sometimes be a big help. Face to attend a village festival on a hot summer day, we dare you in shorts, dress like everyone else and show a leg during the award ceremony for the best jams and pumpkins! Berlusconi was mocked for his bandana holiday but sensitive to a more conservative political British sporting man, even shorts and shoes bridge is guaranteed to produce a song or two. And why our Prime Minister wear black shoes to work on vacation? Looking at the dress sense of G8 leaders at the recent summit Putin was surprisingly better with his casual jeans / jacket combo.

When it came to travel abroad rigid uniform policy was sometimes unbearable. Traveling in Africa is the sweltering heat in a suit to bear dressed VIP visit only acceptable clothing. Frequent flying, even in the long term requires emergent crisp and immaculate in a suit, because there was never a possibility before them directly in an official receipt (or even just swept in the desert outside Dubai Change in the sand for talks with Crown Prince) Sitting .

Being in the public eye also means that anyone and everyone thought they could comment on your appearance. Nothing was taboo and comments would be about weight, hair (or lack thereof) and the skin of his costume choice for a particular TV show. Even with experts on board advice on color for gravitas (or whatever the situation required emotion) carry, did nothing to decrease the comments.

Now, as CEO in the world of fashion pressures are very different. I made the transition between classical and conservative with a small c, to have to look appropriate on trend. My role in all aspects of trafficking in global fur on an international platform means mixing with all those involved in this fascinating industry, but the pervasive theme is in fashion. And does fashion after so many years in politics comes with its own challenges - but the challenges I am pleased - but the excitement is sometimes tinged with panic. How can you dress young? Skinny jeans are acceptable? What Converse? Well I like the last one, but I avoided the first for Zara slim fit a wide range could be the trend for the middle-aged man overeating.

However, the most difficult part of the whole look is the question of facial care. Thatch or not to thatch? As a politician, given the shaved look. You can change the number of real politicians success with the beard on the one hand - in fact less than that! My work these days means that I spend a third of my flight time. Thatch began as a practical response to not want to basket Shaver and various round bottles in his luggage. Now it has become stubble, but I still struggle with the delicate balance between chic and scruffy. The answer can sometimes be found in a single millimeter growth - look nonchalant designer stubble actually takes a lot of hard work to remove!

And again the circle, what, you might ask, has the link to my years as a politician? Most are happy to spend time in charity shops now. I am happy to announce that I'm not really focused on a daily basis for more than three years in my life!
