Margaret Thatcher Style and Fashion

Margaret Thatcher's style over the years

Pearly queen 
Thatcher was advised by   one of her image advisers - to give up her pearls, given to her by her husband Dennis when their twins were born in 1953, but she refused, and they became part of her signature style


she once described her handbag as the only safe place in Downing Street, and it became a symbol of her style of government.

Feminine and floaty, complete with a pussycat bow, a pre-Prime Minister Thatcher in 1977.


Pussycat bows 
An avid fan of the pussycat bow, Thatcher had countless blouses, both printed and plain, with long ties. "I often wear bows; they are rather softening, they are rather pretty" she was quoted as saying.


Thatcher's beloved black Asprey handbag fetched £25,000 when it was auctioned at Christie's recently. Thanks to her Methodist upbringing which taught her the value of everything, the decades-old bag was still in a shiny condition.
