As with every show about friendship, from Friends to Sex and the City, the question everyone always comes around to is: which character do you identify with most? The Good Life is arguably the first show to inspire this, and the wardrobes play an important part.
So, is your style more Barbara or more Margo? Read on to find out…
Margo
Google autocomplete tells me ‘Margo Good Life kaftan’ remains a popular search term in 2024, and with good reason: Margo is the kind of woman who enjoys putting together a glamorous look, and has an array of flowy, draped gowns in vibrant prints. She knows how to show just enough skin, and accessorises with care, whether it’s a silk headscarf, chandelier earrings, a corsage brooch, or all of the above.
This kind of wardrobe doesn’t lend itself to much more than pruning roses, but that’s about the extent of Margo’s horticultural talents. Her favourite thing in her garden is the sun lounger anyway.
