Do you look good on the classroom floor? Sharp? Does your wardrobe cut it? Well, it better. Who says? Sir Michael Wilshaw. He’s just had another “clamp-down”. Scruffy teachers must go. You better shape up. You better get the Look. And what’s that? The Scrubbed Corporate. He modelled it in the Daily Mail – Autograph Suit from M&S, Sensible Footwear, White Shirt and a proper, if shrill, tie. It sends out the right message – “business-like”, “professional” and “appropriate” – and fit all genders.
It suggests gravity, authority, moral probity and is also popular with New Labour politicians, the present minister of education, any estate agent, Apprentice winners, and most of the world’s arms dealers.
