Consuls turned squires
[ROME] Bright blue sky, crisp sunshine and a pleasant 12 degrees Centigrade was the weather at midday today. Ideal conditions, then, for displaying the Roman winter wardrobe. If there's one brand that stands out, it's Barbour quilted jackets, especially olive green and navy blue, are hugely popular and in the competition to see who can look most English, the men appear to be ahead of the women. I should point out, though, that when it comes to wearing Burberry, the women have the field to themselves. Trousers sporting the famous stripes are big. Classy insulation against the chilly evening cold.
Today's consuls and their ladies seem to prefer the squire look. It should come as no surprise then that the Italians are becoming such fine rugby players. What's next? Horary membership of the Anglosphere?
