Trumps just look so odd and creepy sometimes. Considering their wealth, you'd think they could present themselves better.

(14,858 posts)It may be he's turned up his pant legs to keep the dew off them, or else the the trousers are riding up as well.

I'm better-dressed than he is, and I earn a middle-class salary.

(6,212 posts)he always looks the same with the suit and tie. I think in his mind it makes him look thinner but it doesn't.

(85,998 posts)Did you see the recent report about how wide his pants legs are getting and as if he's in competition with Kim Jun Un for who's are wider?
Vanity Fair:
Theres a photo of Donald Trump from last weekend that I cant stop thinking about. Its from the Easter service in Palm Beach, where hes standing between Tiffany and his wife, Melania, an odd sight for sure. I assume Melania is saying, Do you two know each other? But thats not even the compelling part.
The really compelling part is that his pant legs are enormous. Theyre each roughly the circumference of a healthy toddlers head. They could fit comfortably around The Rocks thighsan image no one wanted to consider, but in the name of this investigation, we must. The angle of the photo makes it even more dramatic, with the grass hiding the presidents feet, shortening his overall frame and terminating his body at a wide point. Even so, those hems do not lie.
Per widely accepted lore, Trump buys expensive suits, but doesnt have them tailored to fit his body. In 2004s Trump: Think Like a Billionaire, he wrote, I wear Brioni suits, which I buy off the rack. Hope Hicks once confirmed that he bought Brioni suits and also wore Martin Greenfield Clothiers. Both are companies willing and able to set a man back many thousands of dollars, and yet the bagginess of it all gives the look a discount feel.
One may be able to distill an entire worldview from a self-professed billionaires choice to forego tailoring an expensive suit, but Im wondering if theres something far more nefarious afootsomething that, if proven, could impact the course of this American experiment forever: are the presidents pant legs getting wider?

(6,212 posts)his pant legs make him look even dumpier than he already is. They are such a strange family it's hard to figure out why Melania doesn't say something to him. It's my opinion that Melania does not have good fashion sense.

(21,646 posts)big waist the pants legs are going to have to be big too , but can be tailored . Some of his better wear was better fitting and I assume the big guy had them tailored.
Some one needs to dress Trump.
He doesn't have to look a mess like this , he has the cash

That article is hilarious.

(63,221 posts)Does he ever look in the mirror? It seems like he has no idea how ridiculous he looks. The clothes, the skin, the hair - all of it. He's just a disaster.

(15,682 posts)Or is it a skirt over his pants and under his jacket? What the f is that?
Oh, no. I think Ivanka may have tried to design a new spring overcoat for him.
Polly Hennessey
(6,799 posts)Ms. Toad
(34,075 posts)The length of the jacket isn't the issue. It is that he does not choose (have tailored) clothes that fit him.
Rorey
(8,445 posts)He looks great in anything he wears.
I'd go so far as to use one of 45's favorite words: "elegant"
Ms. Toad
(34,075 posts)but there is a strong trend to ridicule a particular item of clothing merely because Trump was wearing it - without any recognition that the item may (generically) be a very stylish item.
Note the comments in this thread referred to the style as "dictator wear."
The post I responded to asked if it was a skirt attached to a jacket, not recognizing it as a long overcoat.
If I recall correctly, the previous thread I responded to questioned his masculinity for wearing such a coat.
Just because Trump looks ridiculous in it doesn't make the item of clothing ridiculous.
He needs to allow a good tailor to make his clothes fit him better. He always looks like he's wearing someone else's clothes. I don't think there's anything wrong with his choice to wear a long overcoat. It just didn't fit well. I've got a whole lot of complaints about 45, but what he wears is WAY down the list.
I think 45 sees what he wants to see when he looks in the mirror.
All that said, I always thought that the way that President Obama dressed and carried himself was befitting of his position.
Control-Z
(15,682 posts)Good design. Fantastic model.
As always, all the money in the world couldn't help the maggot look even just ok. I almost feel sorry for him, at times.

And he has clearly gained additional weight, so the fit is too tight with the long coat.

smirkymonkey
(63,221 posts)He subconsciously despises what he looks like so he lashes out and criticizes others on their looks. Either that, or he's never looked in a mirror before.
