That looked just awful. One would surmise that a man of his wealth would understand proper attire.

Well, since this is not supposed to be a political commentary forum, I'll refrain from commenting on what this guy ought to understand...

I saw that and had the same thought that something just looked wrong. I guess the vest is too long? His trousers also look gigantic and engulf his feet.

Yes, a moderator should follow the rules or at least maintain the pretense.

The shadowing makes it hard to see, but I believe Sec. Mnuchin’s coat is of a different cut.

I just kind of think it works for him.

I don’t recall any esquire articles dedicated to BHO’s poor fit with formal wear.

 

[FLMike]

What Trump fun are you adding to? I don’t get your thread title.

 

[SG_67]

Threads like this are always opened either in jest or for innocent purposes and quickly devolve.

As for Esquire, perhaps once they were the last word in classic menswear but they have little room to critique anyone given the nonsense they subscribe to as “well dressed”.

 

[momsdoc]

^ Yes, but I’ve been obsessing over his rig since I saw it. I want, and expect, my President to be well dressed.

If he doesnt know what’s right, then his dressers or valet should.....especially when price is not a concern.

The long tie and baggy suits on a man who has a wardrobe budget all of us could only dream of is bad enough. But this vest/jacket combo was beyond ridiculous.

Maybe not in Esquire but there was certainly a huge ruckus over the tan suit.

Ah yes! The infamous tan suit. I do remember that. That's probably a testament to the overall irrelevancy of the media. I just didn't think that was a good color on him. Just my opinion.

If you fail to see why there is more discussion regarding the current officeholder's formalwear fit, you are blissfully ignorant of the current environment IMO.

Irrelevancy of the media. OK. Yet an entire thread based on a media article. Obviously not irrelevant to you or others posting here. Can't have it both ways.

Why should there be any discussion of any world leaders formal wear fit. What exactly is the point?

Starting a thread is hardly the mark of irrelevancy.

And yes, it's rather irrelevant to me.

Trump looks terrible. So what. A lot of pols look terrible. Bear in mind that this is a publication that routinely publishes a best dressed list that often becomes the butt of jokes here.

Deplorable.
