President Joe Biden got lambasted on social media late last week when he turned up at a White House press conference wearing a tan cotton suit.
The Twittersphere erupted with criticism over the single-breasted, three-button, notch-lapel suit that Biden paired with a patterned green tie to talk about the economy, the upbeat jobs report and the country’s vaccination status. The White House added fuel to the fire when communications director Kate Bedingfield said Biden discussed “subsTANtial job growth today” in his beige suit, which prompted journalists and observers to start posting comments and opinions IN CAPITAL LETTERS.
This being 2021, when joggers and half-zips have become the work wardrobe of choice for a lot of men , designers and brands were unfazed by the president’s sartorial choice. And while there was some discussion about the fit of the suit, its color was no big deal to most. Todd Snyder was also on board with the president’s choice, but did question the styling: “I think the tan suit is perfectly acceptable and very American. It’s refreshing to see a president take some risks in dressing, but he missed on the fit and should have left the top button undone,” he said.
Jack Carlson, founder of Rowing Blazers, the preppy-inspired brand, gave a thumbs-up to Biden’s choice and drew parallels to the U.K. “It’s very presidential — and it’s a clear homage to President Obama,” he said. “But the tan suit shouldn’t be controversial. If it’s good enough for Prince Charles, the heir apparent to the British throne, it should be good enough for our commander in chief. In the United States, the president is both head of government and head of state. In the U.K.
Custom tailor Alan Flusser, also weighed in: “A well-cut tan suit is always appropriate in summer, especially if worn around a golf course or for traveling, as Obama did. Yes, not as dressy as other dark suits but always appropriate and stylish if cut well. Blue shirt, navy/gold repp stripe tie, white pocket hankie and presto, elegant as ever.”
