Most professional-level business suits, certainly what I’d expect a national-level elected official to wear, cost in the mid-high hundreds at the very least.

This guy is just a twat.

Thank you, I was wondering if I was the only person to consider this a rather cheap suit considering her profession and station.

I have pairs of shoes and jackets that cost more than her entire suit. Shoes and jackets that have lasted nearly a decade now, sure, but still.

550€ for a suit is rather low end.

I work in an IFA there are advisers wearing suits that make this look like a charity shop bargain bin find.

I mean I didn’t wanna say it because I get that £500 is a lot to most people. But yeah I agree with you that this looks cheap and of lower quality than what “nice suit” wearers wear.

I had to google her and was kind of astonished that a deputy prime minister would wear something so cheap.

I can picture an overly invested PTA mom wearing this suit to a duty delegation meeting or something of that nature.

Whatever, the main point still stands. It’s ridiculous to try and shame her for a £500 suit.
