Theresa May A-Z: U is for Uber Cool

Our Prime Minister is an uber cool fashionista, with a defined sense of style that we haven’t seen before.

But what makes her cool? I particularly like how she constructs outfits, and for me, the way she doesn’t conform to trends, but instead sets them is what makes her an uber interesting politician to watch. May can, for example, take a heavily patterned piece that many might turn away from, and transform it into something which makes everyday fashion a joy to watch. We saw her do this with a bright orange spotted wool coat, teaming it with black patent over the knee boots from Russell & Bromley and boldly wearing it to a State Visit welcome reception at Horse Guards Parade. Epic.

Similarly, a black and white abstract patterned zip jacket from Amanda Wakeley is another statement piece that May elegantly wears. Sport luxe in its design, May lets the pattern speak for itself, putting it with smart black trousers- and most recently, the silver toed Charlize loafers from Russell & Bromley. It takes a brave, and cooly confident individual to wear pieces like this- and Theresa May is the perfect person to do so.

May knows what she wants, what works for her- and she wears it. She’s unafraid to clash patterns, fabrics and textures- and all in the same showing. Case in point- that neon orange coat, leopard print ankle boots and a metallic black and blue bag from Anya Hindmarch. It’s so out there that it works. Uber chic.
