The wife's verdict

Oh dear. Whose bright idea was it to make a man shop without his wife? A huge mistake.

What do I think of his outfit? Hmm. He couldn't resist a pair of outsize, low-crotch jeans, and they are far too long. The shirt isn't bad, although it needs a steam iron, but I hate the jacket - it smacks of an old man about to play boules.

The look is really muddled; I would have preferred a slimline black wool suit from Helmet Lang, and a crisp white tee. Next time he wanders off to M&S he will have his instructions - a pair of fine black-wool socks and a lovely lemon tart...
