Dressing down - Telegraph What is it about David Cameron and formal attire? At the royal wedding last year he was all set to wear a lounge suit to the occasion, until better counsel prevailed and he wore tails, as was fitting. But the Prime Minister evidently still has a problem with his sartorial antennae. At the weekend, he attended a wedding in Oxfordshire wearing a suit when most of the men - including his Cabinet colleague, Jeremy Hunt, the Culture Secretary - were in tails. Perhaps Mr Cameron is worried about looking too "posh"; yet the whole point of formal wear is that it is a leveller - everyone looks the same and no one stands out. Dress codes are drawn up for a purpose. The more Mr Cameron seems to want to show himself as a man of the people, the more contrived it looks. No one will think less of him if he brushes down his morning coat for the occasional outing.
