Let's look at tan suits!!

Apparently if you're black, you're not allowed to wear a tan summer suit when it's summer.

I'm going to go with Sorta Racism as my answer to this. It's the usual suspects getting outraged over things all Presidents do, be it take vacations or wear tan suits.

What?

It's too bad she didn't get a picture of Obama in the tan suit.

I'm reminded of that line in "Men In Black" when Smith tells
Tommy Lee Jones, "The difference between you and me
is that I make these look good."

[rose-cat.livejournal.com]

Well, some people can make anything look good (see below). Sometimes it's all in the attitude.

I mean, what is this post about?

[hardblue.livejournal.com]

Obama gave a press conference wearing a very snazzy, summery tan suit, and I think Red Staters did a variation on the "this guy just does vacations all the time" routine. So unpresidential!

[lafinjack.livejournal.com]

Oh, missed that one.

Be honest, Conservatives ... It's not the tan suit that bothers you... It's the tan President pic.twitter.com/y84itB1aLd (http://t.co/y84itB1aLd)

Ha!

Ding.

I keep saying... Obama should solve like 75% of the problems in this country, and come out with a strong pro-breathing stance. Maybe fund a government organization to investigate the benefits of breathing...

[moonshaz.livejournal.com]

Absolutely!

Well, not to be racist, but in the realm of **fashion** you gotta match your X with your Y, and Obama does have a different X from his predecessors.

Then none of our former President's should have ever worn a black or dark brown suit.

Where was all the yelling when our same beloved President wore this:

[rose-cat.livejournal.com]

I'm not yelling. I'm laughing and wincing simultaneously. What the hell was he thinking?

[blackdwarv.livejournal.com]

Wait...

I think that's my family tartan...

[deborahkla.livejournal.com]

I think this was his Christmas outfit.

[rose-cat.livejournal.com]

Ehh, I hate light-colored suits. Even on this guy:

Heh, yeah, I don't really see anything working here. :p

[maladaptive.livejournal.com]

That suit could've worked if he hadn't matched it to the vest. He looks like a grocery sack.

"It's PLUM."

[icelore.livejournal.com]

Tennant's tan suit is saved by the tailoring and the vest imo.

[blackdwarv.livejournal.com]

Love that vest.

I also love that vests seem to be making a comeback in men's fashion.
