Despite the persistent struggle of the fair half of humanity for the right not to yield to men in anything, a female politician remains a phenomenon that attracts attention today. If this woman is the Federal Chancellor of Germany, who has led the country since 2005, then the interest in her from the public and the media is understandable.
Angela Dorothea Merkel belongs to the category of people who purposefully pursue their goals and achieve significant results. It has always been this way. And in her youth, when a graduate of the University of Leipzig defended her dissertation in physics with an unpronounceable title, and today, when she managed to significantly strengthen Germany’s position in the European Union.
Why does Merkel dress so boringly?
Angela Merkel as a politician is credited with tough pragmatism and balanced decisions. Many stylists believe that Frau Merkel's political and government activities are reflected in her appearance.
The Federal Chancellor of Germany has been repeatedly reproached for conservatism and excessive restraint in her appearance. It is almost impossible to find a skirt in the wardrobe of a German politician. But there are a lot of straight blazers of different colors and shades, but always the same style.
As for blouses, their appearance clearly promotes minimalism and looks more like laconic T-shirts. As a rule, the set is completed with black straight trousers. An attempt to replace them with light, light-colored hip flared trousers, according to stylists, turned out to be extremely unsuccessful.
Perhaps the reason was the lack of appropriate shoes. Angela feels confident in ballet flats without a hint of heel, does not wear perfume, and only allows beads made of semi-precious stones and watches as jewelry. As for cosmetics, Merkel clearly prefers the most natural make-up and does not resort to the services of plastic surgeons.
Journalists who try to convince the public that the chancellor's professional activities are the reason for his modest dress are easily challenged. It’s enough to flip through photo albums from the times of Merkel’s youth and youth.
When her peers were sporting ultra-short miniskirts, Angela wore a boyish haircut and the usual jeans. At the very beginning of her political career, the future chancellor appeared in an invariable cardigan, extremely reminiscent of a man's, and still wore a short haircut.
Most likely, a confident woman simply chooses clothes that are comfortable for herself, guided by the motto that is always before her eyes. On Merkel's desk there is a silver stand with the inscription "In der Ruhe liegt die Kraft" - "Strength in Calm".
When will we finally see Merkel in a dress?
However, we still have a chance to see Angela in a dress. At the age of 44, she entered into a second marriage, which, according to others, made her a happy woman. It was then that the short haircut approached a feminine bob, and Frau Merkel was photographed in an extravagant black dress with a boa. The image of Angela in an elegant suit of delicate amethyst color, where instead of the usual black trousers, she wore a floor-length year-length skirt, also went down in history.
Stylists strongly recommend classic-length skirts with comfortable low-heeled pumps for high-status ladies, and for special occasions a real evening dress that correctly emphasizes the waistline and tactfully hides the arms with long sleeves of a complex cut.
Who chooses ridiculous costumes for Merkel
However, Angela Merkel listens to the opinions of people who have been working on her image for many years. The choice of color and tailoring of the Chancellor’s favorite blazers was entrusted to his personal tailor, Frau Bettina Schönbach. On business trips with a German politician, her personal stylist Petra Keller is always present. Finally, Merkel's haircut has long been the concern of personal hairdresser Udo Waltz.
Angela Merkel's appearance often becomes the subject of discussion on the pages of popular magazines. But, having achieved recognition as one of the most influential politicians of the 21st century, she has certainly earned the right to remain herself in matters of choosing her image.
