Mrs May and her blue coat

On an earlier GN thread about the PM, someone said that type 1 diabetes can cause lower bone density, which can lead to a slight hunch back. True or not, I don't know.

Like Luckygirl, if I had a coat that had cost so much, I'd never have it off my back either!

I like her blue coat, but I don't get the sleeves. I thought it looked expensive but not that much. No wonder she wears it a lot. It looks comfy and stylish.
I agree that she looks better in bold colours Day6

According to Google, she is 5'8".

She does seem to be 'humphy backit' (colloquial Scots alert!).
Maybe she's always had a slight curvature of the spine or maybe it's from hunching over the millions of pages she must have had to read over the years.

Sunday paper said it cost £920!!!!! I would wear it for ever if I had forked out that sort of money!!!

She's 5'8". I think she feels the cold as she's always well wrapped up even though she only has to walk short distances to a waiting car.

I wondered, does she have some physical problem that's causing her hunched back? especially if she really is only 5'6"

a mayor's

I think TM looks good in strong colours. She suits her blue coat. I think she dresses well and always looks well turned out.

I see big chunky necklaces seem to be making a come back in fashion stores. I find some of her necklaces fascinatingly (horrifically!) big - almost like mayors chain of office!

She has her own style and I like it.

It’s a sort of double coat with a down jacket underneath. I quite like it but she looks a bit round shouldered in it. I know it’s shallow commenting on people’s outfits and appearance, but she is in the public eye and is going to come under scrutiny.

Perhaps it's her 'security blanket'? She sure needs one.

I read that Theresa May is 5' 6" - so not 'very tall' as Flexible Friend says. I reached my adult height of 5' 8 1/2" when I was 13. As I'd always been average height till then, it took some adjusting to. I suspect that Mrs May was subjected to the kind of negative and frankly, cruel comments that I was in my teens. the description of her as very tall and gangly, so nothing ever fits as it should is exactly the kind of comments shed have had in her teens but I expect she thought she'd left behind.

I don't share her politics but I hope if I'm to criticise her its on that, rather than her height.

I wish I could remove some of the veries in that last post! (Help me, please, pedants and grammar experts - I know I have used the correct plural of very, but it looks ridiculous here. What should I have put?)

Good on her, I say. It often bugs me, the way women in the public eye are so often criticized for over- or under-wearing their outfits.
Not that I often notice what she is wearing anyway. Oh, apart from the huge, heavy-looking necklaces that she favours, and I guess she could use those very effectively to defend herself should the need arise

She has a beautiful sort of kimono jacket in blue and silver. I've seen her in it couple of times for dresser occasions.

mm interesting thought.

Strange to think that the blue coat will be remembered long after Mrs May has left. Bit like Mr Wilson’s Gamex, Douglas Hurd’s very smart long overcoat and Michael Foot’s donkey jacket. To have spent all those years in politics and then just be remembered for your coat. Sobering thought.

Maybe its her 'Lucky' coat , God knows she needs some luck

I quite like her clothing. However in common with many of us taller women she has developed a slightly stooping posture - not a good look whatever your shape but it's one that's hard to avoid if you are constantly bending forward to speak with shorter spouse/friends/family/colleagues. Of course those shoulders are carrying a tremendous weight just now and that doesn't help.

I think she has more important things to be doing than worrying about clothing. Just as long as she wears something on that painful twig-like body of hers is all I care about.

I don't think her clothes ever look good, it's not the clothes fault but she's very tall and gangly and nothing ever fits as it should. I think she should get some clothes made for her rather than the high priced off the peg she favours that frankly look dire.

She's getting her money's worth out of it.
I tend to reach for the same coat for everyday use.

I should think which coat she wears is the last thing on her mind. It certainly ought to be. And anyway) how many of us have several “big coats” good enough to be photographed?
Why come to think of it, does JC always wear that red tie?
Does it - any of it- matter?

Her coat cost £920 from Herno. Got to say I do like it.

Maybe she's so preoccupied at the moment she just grabs the nearest coat..
