Don't be shy, send me a message!
This hard-hitting episode looks into the Daily Mail allegations that the Prime Minister of the UK is wearing suits "too small".
Rory Tingle wrote:
"Why doesn't Rishi Sunak buy suits that fit? Men's fashion expert is 'baffled' by the 5ft6in Prime Minister's attempt to look trendy with his ankle-skimming tailoring (and says the Noughties want their trousers back!)...
...In a forensic analysis of Mr Sunak's fashion choices for his 460,000 Twitter followers, Mr Guy said: 'Baffling to me how the wealthiest UK prime minister in history could live just steps away from Savile Row, the single greatest concentration of skilled bespoke tailors, and end up paying $2k for a MTM suit with sleeves and trousers 2-4' too short.'
The fashion expert dismissed claims from his followers that Mr Sunak was trying to mask his short stature, or opting for children's sizes to 'dodge VAT'.
The PM has never been known to skimp on fashion, having previously been seen wearing £3,500 suits from Bloomsbury tailor Henry Herbert, £490 Prada shoes and a £795 Reiss jacket.
He continued: 'Lots of conspiracy theories on why Sunak wears such short trousers and sleeves, but my theory is simple...
'Sunak is a vaguely trend-aware guy, but just a little behind the times. He wears Palm Angels slides, Common Projects sneakers, slim-fit chinos, etc.
'I don't think he has a grand theory for how short sleeves and pants make him look taller.
'He's simply accustomed to wearing trendy things and so, he wears early 2000s menswear trends.
'It is not unusual to see wealthy guys wear such shrunken suits. In fact, this is the dominant silhouette if you visit the downtown district of any major city...
...Mr Guy, who has written for Esquire and the Financial Times, later suggested Mr Sunak had been eclipsed in the fashion stakes by US President Joe Biden, whose 'ready to wear' suits fitted better despite probably being far cheaper."
Well, so says the Daily Mail. What do you think?
