Jeremy Corbyn’s Dress Sense
Jeremy Corbyn has been accused of having an unusual taste in clothes and also not owning a suit.
I suspect though that his attitude to clothes is typical of many of us, who grew up in the mid-1960s.
Men were liberated from the rules, just as much as women were.
For years I never owned a suit and possibly for the last fifty years, I’ve always worn short-sleeved shirts.
Look at some other respected men of the 1960s like Richard Branson and James Dyson. You may see them dressed conventionally, but often they dress for the occasion like my left-wing accountant once accused me of, many years ago.
I’m certainly someone who believes that the message is much more important than the packaging.
So for instance, if I was invited to appear on television to discuss a subject like computer programming or project management software, I’d probably wear my thirty year old tweed jacket, M & S chinos and a short-sleeved shirt, with decent walking shoes. My one nod to style would be a bag or brief case by a well-known designer. The brief case incidentally is forty years old. Design is more important than any famous designer name.
Jeremy Corbyn though, has the task of impressing those who currently don’t, to vote for the Labour Party in an election. So unfortunately, he should observe certain norms or he’ll be leading his party to oblivion.
