Why are politicians' costumes still poorly adjusted?<

There are several reasons for this. Explanations.

Did you notice? Most politicians wear suits that are way too big. The current champion is Donald Trump. We often see it with jackets that are too wide and too long, excessive ties, trousers bordering on “baggy” and crumpled. However, we can't say that his wallet isn't big enough to afford made-to-measure clothes. The reason ? No doubt a roundabout way of seducing voters.

There are several explanations for this way of dressing, as reported by the men's online magazine melmagazine.com. The first is due to a hectic lifestyle. Politicians in the countryside are indeed always between two cities with a busy schedule. Their weight varies rapidly, their costume no longer sticks to them as well. Also, because they have little opportunity to change between each speech, their clothes are too crumpled, which accentuates this impression of disproportion.

Getting closer to the people

Sometimes it's a voluntary act. The objective is not to appear too elitist. This awkwardness makes the politician more accessible. Conversely, a well-cut and tight outfit would be synonymous with luxury.

Two exceptions among US presidents

However, there are exceptions, such as John F. Kennedy and Barak Obama. JFK has been named America's most stylish president. He was also the first to wear the two-button jacket. He even changed several times a day. If his appearance seduced, it is also because he was the first to carry out a presidential debate broadcast on television and this presence was immediately appreciated.

Thereafter, this was no longer the case. We remember in particular Bill Clinton's suits with too wide shoulders, but it was the fashion in the 90s. For his part, Obama declared to Vanity Fair: "I don't want to make decisions about what I eat or wears, because I have too many other decisions to make." But his outfits still fit him and his sleeves are cut shorter, more contemporary. He is also known for his more casual style like the no-tie suit.

Hillary Clinton's fashion faux pas

Last April, Hillary Clinton was lynched by the media for daring to wear the $12,495 Armani suit during a speech on economic hardship. She was accused of hypocrisy. Aside from this awkwardness, her Ralph Lauren suits worn during the debates were rather appreciated, especially as she remained very classic.

Why does François Hollande's tie never stay straight?

Have you ever noticed that François Hollande's tie never stays straight? This sartorial detail earned him quite a few taunts. Not long ago, the high priestess of the Cristina Cordula look looked into her case, interviewed by Le Matin.ch. The explanation is not funny. This is actually a physical problem. "What I learned is that his tie is not straight, because he has one leg shorter than the other, a shoulder problem, and the spine is not good" , she explained. Also, "he has one arm longer than the other and suddenly it's twisted", she adds before concluding that she does not know of a miracle solution for this particular case.
