Theresa’s new trousers are top of the crops
AS Theresa May strode into the Conservative Party conference this week, cameras focused on her £555 navy wool blazer from Daniel Blake, cropped hair, statement necklace and business-like manner.
So far, so sensible – it’s a style that has become almost a work uniform for our Prime Minister. But look a little closer, and you soon realise there is more to this outfit – at the level of Mrs May’s ankles, a dash of levity creeps into the ensemble.
Her plain navy blue suit ends with a cropped ‘kick-flare’, revealing a well-turned ankle and a very elegant pair of £175 Russell & Bromley black stilettos.
The trousers allow her to infuse her businesslike, practical wardrobe with a hint of individualism – without compromising on dignity. And after all, what’s the use of investing in a great pair of heels if you can’t see the things? – Fiona McIntosh
