A first look at @David_Speers.
The watch messes with the left shirt cuff.
I'll be keeping an eye out for shoes (probably those f***ing boots) and socks. Also on the coffee plunger.

I don't think I saw this light blue tie, white shirt and grey suit effort from @Birmo, replying to the #BudgetReply.
It's classy but unadventurous.
#GenderBalancingClothingCommentary
#insiders
Slight crotch whiskers from @David_Speers this morning.
The hair is overstyled, as it so often is.
#GenderBalancingClothingCommentary
#insiders
@CroweDM isn't always the most fashionable but the shirt (esp. the buttons) and jacket are lovely.
#GenderBalancingClothingCommentary
#insiders
Another one not noted for his sartorial splendour, @PhillipCoorey has chosen a better shirt and jacket than usual.
A masterclass in shine management on his balding head and some chest hair to emphasise his virility.
#GenderBalancingClothingCommentary
#insiders
Crowe's shoes are decent (but no more) and socks good.
Speers's f***ing boots *are* back, alas.
Why doesn't @latingle get an armchair like the blokes?
#GenderBalancingClothingCommentary
#insiders
Oh, dear.
The top half was so promising, @CroweDM, but the jeans let you down. Don't you own any slacks at all?
#GenderBalancingClothingCommentary
#insiders
Why do you need two blue pens inside your jacket on a Sunday morning, @CroweDM?
That's just weird.
#GenderBalancingClothingCommentary
#insiders
What do we think of @JoshFrydenberg's jacket, fashionistas?
The fabric is a little too shiny, if you ask me.
Surprised he didn't go with French cuffs.
Note: no Aussie flag on the lapel.
#GenderBalancingClothingCommentary
#insiders
In close up the jacket is even better and the hair even worse.
#GenderBalancingClothingCommentary
#insiders
There's something awkward about the body language between @David_Speers and @JoshFrydenberg this morning.
Who wears it better, fashionistas?
Note the difference in length of pants.
#GenderBalancingClothingCommentary
#insiders
Blue was the theme of the day when @mpbowers sat down with @SarsIson for #TalkingPictures.
Mike should get a shirt in the same fabric as Ison's dress, I reckon.
#GenderBalancingClothingCommentary
#insiders
Props for giving credit to @KarenMMiddleton for her amazing piece in @SatPaper on #MichaelTowke and #ScottyThePathologicalLiar's shenanigans in the #CookVotes preselection.
No props for the shin flesh, though. 😱
#GenderBalancingClothingCommentary
#insiders
I buggered up the screenshot but the coffee plunger was just as full at the end of #insiders as it was in the beginning.
Perhaps, as at an open inspection, the aroma of the coffee was enough.

Who wears it better: @JoeDoesNews or @MattDoran91?
The lapels and ties are conspicuously lacking bling, gents.
#GenderBalancingClothingCommentary
#ABCNewsMornings Image
Just how quickly does your beard grow, @mf_rennie?
I like the shirt but it's a rather bland. Couldn't you liven it up with some bling?
#GenderBalancingClothingCommentary
#ABCNewsMornings Image
I know it's important for people to know the rank of police officers but the hi-vis under the epaulettes is not the most attractive look.
A traditional police cap rather than a baseball cap would've been better.

Is it just my imagination or were you shivering during this cross, @JakeLapham?
An extra layer would've been a good idea.
Do you not have an ABC News rain jacket?
#GenderBalancingClothingCommentary
#NewsBreakfast Image
I had another shot of you, @mjrowland68, but chose not to use it.
I thought we'd retired this suit?
Good hair this morning.
#GenderBalancingClothingCommentary
#NewsBreakfast Image
Love the socks, @SciNate!
Still persisting with the error of blue jacket and black slacks, @Tonaaayy_? Whyyyyy?

Here's one for you, #CopyEditing and #SubEditing Twitter (esp. those of you outside Australia who don't know the context):
If the headline reads "Outgoing senator shines light on bullying" does 'outgoing' refer to the senator's personality or her impending departure from office?
Here's the story (for those interested, though it's probably paywalled):
canberratimes.com.au/story/7680391/…
A similar question arises with this headline: "‘Partisan football’: Second retiring Coalition senator lashes government".
Is Senator McMahon one who avoids the spotlight or one who is leaving the political arena?

Not the most adventurous suit/shirt/tie combo from @David_Speers tonight.
I'm not really a fan of shades of purple or maroon for the tie when you're wearing a navy or Blue Suit.
#GenderBalancingClothingCommentary
#QandA Image
A better suit than usual from @Barnaby_Joyce tonight.
Not quite enough shirt cuff for my money.
Still referring to 'the Ukraine', though. 🙄
#GenderBalancingClothingCommentary
#QandA Image
Neat hair and a classy suit/shirt/tie combo from @JEChalmers tonight.
Just enough makeup to avoid shine without looking like a clown.
The tie would sit better with a tie bar. #JustSaying

Looking sharp, @AlboMP.
@RichardMarlesMP also looking smart tonight.
Both @tanya_plibersek and @terrimbutler show the blokes how to combine colours more creatively than just a grey or navy suit with a white shirt.
#GenderBalancingClothingCommentary
#BudgetReply
#AusPol Image
Also bringing his A-game is @BOConnorMP, although the tie knot is just a smidge asymmetric.

The grey suit trend has infiltrated the second row of the government benches but the front bench remains in thrall to The Blue Suit Cult (or the navy near-neighbour).

Ed Husic is on fire, both rhetorically and sartorially, on #AfternoonBriefing.
I'm not sure about the blending of the hair on top with that on the sides but love the greying beard.
The tie and the 🇺🇦 lapel ribbon are excellent.
#GenderBalancingClothingCommentary Image
The tie is generously proportioned without straying into tablecloth territory, @GregJennett.
The suit and shirt are good and the hair is excellent.
#GenderBalancingClothingCommentary
#AfternoonBriefing ImageImage
The indefatigable @beejaymac10 looking sharp as he reports from Lismore.
Love the hair, Bruce.
As he said, five years to the day from the 2017 floods.
