We know almost every little detail about first lady Michelle Obama’s style, but now thanks to the addition of President Barack Obama to this year’s Vanity Fair International Best-Dressed list, we get a better look into what is about the man that got him on the same list as his fashionable wife.
His “notable purchase” of 2009 that seemingly got him on the magzine’s list (it sure wasn’t his choice in jeans) was his $1,500 Hart Schaffner Marx suit. He opted for the Chicago tailor’s Gold Trumpeter collection – a two-button, single-vent jacket (complete with a pocket inside that reads “Made Exclusively for Barack Obama”) and cuffed trousers. For accessories, Obama sports Ray-Ban 3217 glasses and a Jorg Gray 6500 watch, presented to him by the Secret Service.
And while Michelle Obama heads to J. Crew for bargain hunting, Obama keeps it close to home, picking up cheap finds (including his Secret Service baseball cap) from his security detail’s employees’ store.
