Leave The Suits At Home Girls
The National Party seem to have a lot of women standing for Parliament this time around all idealistically seeking to make New Zealand a better place.
As nice as this is I do have one request.
DITCH the Glassons cut suits. It's scaring the punters.
We have to wear them in our professional jobs to meet clients and appear before Courts, but you are standing for Parliament, not applying to be secretaries at Accountancy firms. Because of cheap suiting at Glassons and Max in New Zealand, secretaries wear the suits. Important people now wear either extremely expensive hand-tailored suiting or don't bother and go smart casually-more-expensive.
True to form, the National Party are getting excited about women standing for them and highlighting them as future this and future that......yawn. At least half these women will turn purple after being selected and believe in paying people to breed and other silly policies such as Welfare for Families.
As they all seem to have private sector careers behind them with the exception of Nikki Kaye, who really has achieved very little in the way of actual professional performance (admittedly due to having recently left High School...yes we know Head Girl at Corran School, I think anyone under 40 is too young to stand for Parliament), you will all scare the living shit out of your electorates presenting a corporate image. It just looks silly.
I hate suits full stop and loathe wearing them. Very few women look good in a suit. Unless you are Italian. For some reason Italians look like they were born in suits.
As much maligned as she is, Paula Bennett dresses as she is and presents as a real person, not a cardboard corporate cut-out with perfect photoshopped hair from a Russell McVeagh brochure.
And Paula is more likely than any of you NOT to be compared with these three....the Ghosts of National past. All known for their wide and varied SUIT collections that make babies cry and grandmothers hide under their woolen blankets in fear.

And your opinion on the "lesbian haircut" look is ? It is particularly common among women as they get older and I assume is motivated by their hair getting more brittle and harder to manage.
And you are only seeing stuff from the top up. One of the 'fashions' in New Zealand at the moment is pockets in the trousers of suits. Now I'm sure there may be some women who can pull them off, but not those with good ole child bearing hips which would be pretty much every New Zealand women who isn't Asian or Eastern European pre-baby.

Every one of these women has a better haircut than the Labour candidates!
The suit can ruin ANY haircut on a woman. BUt I do agree that New Zealand women need to stop hitting the suburban salons in their droves for a $100 cut and colour. Its the hairdressers who should be shot.

Oh god DON'T tell me they have side pockets!!! Nothing good can come from that.....NOTHING.
I was thinking of getting a bit of jiggy on with mrs expat tonite but the roll call of polyester suits has dampened my enthusiasm somewhat. The mental montage of shipley, richardson et al during the act wouldnt make for a successful foray.
Kate maybe you have only looked at photos of Nicky Wagner. Those of us who know her, and yes I work with her, know that shes does not wear suits. Look at her web site if you like, no her other one Fashionz.co.nz.
