Mrs Merkel

Has Angela Merkel ever worn anything other than a jacket and trousers, in which she has a variety of various colours. Even at the grandest occasion, it's jacket and trousers
I presume there is no problem with her legs.
I can understand that they are probably more comfortable, but it would be nice to see her in an evening dress, cocktail dress or any dress sometimes.

I think seeing Mr. Cameron in an evening gown would be way more entertaining. Can we have that, please?

I don't follow politics much, let alone political fashion, but if what you're saying is true I find it quite refreshing tbh. Why should she have to wear a dress just because she's a female? Let her wear what she likes!

I, too, never wear dresses. Not even for formal occasions. I think the only place I'll wear a dress is my wedding, because I just don't feel comfortable in them otherwise.

Oh, and by the way, a quick Google of 'Angela Merkel dress' throws up some pictures of her, gasp, in a dress!

Maybe she should dress like Putin:

It's just her style. Like Margaret Thatcher had her own style or Timmy Mallet, etc.

Complete with Maggie Thatcher hair-do of course ;-)

Shouldn't she be actually Frau Merkel as she is known in Germany?

From what I remember seeing the photos of Frau Merkel wearing a few dresses and she looked a walking fashion disaster bar one midnight blue evening gown which she wore looked rather elegant on her.

Probably she knew her limits in fashion and decided to stick wearing trouser suits for most of her career instead.

It's almost like she can choose what to wear what she likes without randomers dropping their two cents.

As always the important subjects of the day can be found on DS

She may well have her knockers, but..:o

She is one of the most powerful women in the world and people want to discuss what she's wearing. Says it all. >:(

Lighten up!
It's just a bit of frivolity!

She is known as Mutti, (Mummy), in Germany, not always meant nicely.
