Wear are the fashion police? MLCP was wearing the same jacket in Valletta the very next day:

Maybe it brings her back memories of the ’80s, given the well-padded shoulders, the lapels and the shape/style in general. Ah well, at least she bothered changing the top she wore underneath it …

@Daphne – Proverbs are never outdated. They are words of wisdom that stood and will stand the test of time. To say “the wisdom nowadays” is therefore a fallacy.

[Moderator – ‘A woman, a dog and a walnut tree, the more you beat them, the better they be.’ Just like you said: never outdated, and very wise – right?]

@Andrea Camilleri – that’s an outdated proverb. The wisdom nowadays is that if a person isn’t even capable of making a correct decision about what to wear, and if he isn’t capable of judging what’s best to wear, then he’s going to slip up on other things. Knowing what to wear is very simple, especially for a man, given that the male sartorial rules are very rigid and have been the same for decades. It doesn’t take much to know that you shouldn’t wear a pale grey suit to a state funeral – but Jason Micallef did so, and it chimes perfectly with the major slips he made in far more important decisions.

I like this friendly banter about the dress sense of the contestants for Labour’s leadership. However since you brought Benigni to the blog let me give this comment a stronger Italian flavour with this proverb:

L’ABITO NON FA IL MONACO
Proverbio ripetuto per ricordare che l’apparenza molte volte non corrisponde alla realtà; perciò bisogna essere cauti nel giudicare gli altri.

Amanda …. love the that name.Hope you know what the name means and in which place it is very common!

I will not respond to your remark and your childish conclusion because I am afraid I might hurt your level of intelligence.

Nor will I spoil the childish fun of yours and some others.
If that is the way to enjoy yourselves, then have fun. I won’t spoil the way you chose to keep fit.

On a different occasion I told Daphne ‘Prosit’ but of course you haven’t read that. So please do not jump to silly conclusions.

As for Varist’s choice of clothing – His sweater is short enough for what appears to be the buckle of his belt to pop out from underneath it.

What an embarrassing line-up of people!

Peter Muscat – Maybe you could explain to us why you feel such compulsion to see what Daphne has written, seeing that you generally chose to object to whatever she has written. Maybe your paint takes far too long to dry.

To Tony Pace, I’m glad someone else noted the incredible slip up Jason had in Sir Mamo’s state funeral. Is it possible that this guy does not own a black suit?! It’s the funeral of the first president of malta and he comes in a light coloured suit!
Unbelievable
