David Cameron overcomes terrible taste in holiday clothing School's out, and so are the Prime Minister David Cameron's suits as he holidays in Portugal with a triumphant holiday wardrobe. Future biographers of David Cameron will record the Prime Minister's appearance in the fish market of Aljezur, Portugal, today as a highly telling footwear footnote. For it was there, as he clutched a carrier bag of damp squid, that Mr Cameron finally managed to lance the boil that was his terrible taste in holiday clothing. SEE: David Cameron's wardrobe malfunction For years the nation has been subjected each summer to a succession of appalling Cameron casual ensembles. He's worn black socks with black shoes and shorts; he's appeared incapably of breaking his bad polo shirt habit, and he's regularly confused sports gear with something acceptable for a British head of state to meander about an agreeable Mediterranean locale in. Today, however, Mr Cameron has triumphed. The fish merchants of Aljezur can only have admired his chambray-effect short sleeved shirt and olive green shorts (blessedly all-cotton and free of combat pockets). Most of all, however, they - and we - should rejoice at those shoes. Because wherever they are from (and I would guess its Marks & Spencer), Mr Cameron's adoption of these loafers/driving shoes represents a paradigm shift in the Prime Minister's off-duty persona. A close-up of Cameron's holiday-friendly loafers. Yes, it's a U-turn: but by ousting black in favour of fawn and consigning socks forever to the bottom draw of his summer wardrobe Mr Cameron has in a flash transformed himself from Mr Bean to Mr Someone-You'd-Be-Perfectly-Happy-To-Be-Seen-With. Little wonder then, that Mrs Cameron looks so delighted. For it she who is responsible for the creation of this New Cameron. READ: 'Blame Sam, says Cameron as he confesses his crimes against fashion' The Prime Minister may run the country (this week apart) but he recently confessed that it is Samantha who runs his wardrobe. Earlier this year he told an audience of fashion experts at Downing Street: "When I go shopping my wife doesn't actually allow me to look around the store at all. I am just put in a changing room and things are sort of passed to me as you would pass food to a prisoner. This summer, Mrs Cameron has finally come up with the goods.
