PRESIDENTIAL STYLE
|
|
Barack Obama is returning sartorial style to the White House. Some say his
understated wardrobe elegance was last evident when Ronald and Nancy Reagan
resided there. Others point even further back in time, drawing comparisons to
the trendsetting wardrobes of John F. and Jackie Kennedy when they occupied 1600
Pennsylvania Avenue. Regardless of political persuasion, it's easy to agree
that President-Elect Obama's custom tailored suits set a presidential tone and
standard befitting this nation's highest office. While President-elect
Obama's wardrobe is understatedly chic in dark gray or blue suits, his
presidential style has garnered plenty of attention from late-night talk show
hosts, to multiple covers of Men's Vogue and an endorsement from Esquire
Magazine. Obama is certainly on-trend with the current influence in
men's style. With the movement to trimmer fitting clothes, narrower lapels, and
shorter jackets inspired by the 60's, it's easy to see why Obama-Kennedy
comparisons are so prevalent. Conservative, perfectly dimpled
neckties, crisp white shirts and cleanly tailored, slim-fit suits are low-key
and classic. Combined with Obama's youthful, athletic build and the silhouette
of the classic power suit reemerges. Such style, especially custom tailored, is
appropriate for any well-dressed man, whether you're in a boutique law firm, a
multinational corporation or the leader of the free world.
