Don't go thinking all the fashion talk about the Obamas is geared towards Michelle, Barack has also been getting his fair share of critique since before he even won the election--Tim Gunn approved his style back in June.
Now that he's done campaigning, and has ditched the dark suits, The NY Times is taking a look at his casual side. Belted jeans, sneakers, tucked-in polo shirts...sounds a little like he raided Jerry Seinfeld's closet, no? (Not that there's anything wrong with that.)
The paper asked the comedian how it felt to have the President-elect copping his style, and he told them: “I don’t know that I can make a proprietary claim to that look. [But] I’m happy to have the association.”
No need to panic until we see the leader of the free world in a pirate shirt, right?

Cult leader Obama is looking like a total slob lately.
I think we may have also just elected the first gay president too.
This article was stupid on gawker and it was stupid here too.
I think obama is very well dressed. When they caught him in the sox cap and jacket it was the morning after the inaguration.
He's always dressed in well fitting suits.
And jerry seinfeld dresses like a pederast, imo.
can he sue me for saying that?
Ides, the gayest person here is you.
Who or what is a "jerry seinfeld" and should I care?
maybe this would be a pertinent joke in 1991.
NO WAY! Polo shirts AND jeans? The first thing I think of is Jerry Seinfeld. NO ONE else wears those particular garments together!
Thanks for pointing this out.
Obama is definitely very elegant, comparisons with Seinfeld are absurd.
I think that white people would get scared if Obama dressed "cool" at all. Granted, they treat all politicians like that. That's why all these pols dress so crappy, so that the lowest common denominator won't consider them "high-falutin". His casual clothes are very simple and safe.
But can he clear brush in it?
Excellent use of photoshop.
Jerry Seinfeld has the worst style of any man to walk the face of the planet. As long as Obama doesn't show up in a suede jacket and purple turtle neck tucked into black jeans with white tennis shoes I'm not going to take shots at him.
I barely found him funny when his show was originally on TV, and I don't understand his continued popularity. Hell, Microsoft used him in those ads. But he seems so dated -- like Alf or Small Wonder or something.
Oops, by "him" I mean Seinfeld, not Obama.
Wow, Hugo and Ides--first and second out of the gate. He really excites you guys, doesn't he? It's like a high-school crush.
