The President style guide; the tale of White House dressing

From donning a beige suite to carrying off an ill-fitting jeans to accompany daughter, here is a look at the sartorial choices of President Barack Obama:

Beige under siege

Obama, who usually turns up in darker hues for pressers, playing some sort of Jedi mind trick by going “beige/tan” on this occasion? If so, then it worked. The whole world was so busy concentrating on his controversial pale suit that no one heard what he said about ISIS.
