Royal Wedding Dilemmas

The leading news on the Today programme this morning – should David Cameron wear a lounge suit or a morning suit to the Royal wedding. A morning suit would follow etiquette, and a man who has been to Eton and Oxford would inevitably be aware of the correct dress code – but would his appearance in tails and pinstripe trousers highlight his privileged background? Would he not be better to dress down to appear more like a man of the people?

As we always advise our clients – you are what you are, do not pretend to be someone different, especially if you are in the public eye and in the media. By pretending to be someone different it will come over as unnatural and you will inevitably be found out. So our advice to the PM is to get the morning suit dry cleaned, and brush off the top hat while you’re at it!
