Listen Later

From Obama’s tan suit to the Emperor’s new clothes – we’ve always been fascinated by politicians’ wardrobes. But should we care at all what they wear? Marie Le Conte is joined by fashion writer and political commentator, Derek Guy aka "The Menswear Guy" on Twitter to find out.


  • "I don’t like the respectability politics of clothing. Your character isn’t determined by how you dress.” – Derek Guy
  • "I would agree. I’m a bit of a snob.” – Derek Guy
  • “You don’t know if somebody earnestly loves something or if they’re being paid by a brand." – Derek Guy
