While pundits were quick to debate the shoes and clothes of first lady Melania Trump, commerce secretary Wilbur Ross and many Democratic lawmakers at the joint address to Congress on Tuesday, there was one person who made it through the night with flying colors, from a fashion standpoint: President Donald Trump.
As CNN, USA Today and Town & Country all noted, Trump, who has been criticized for his fashion choices in the past, looked noticeably sharper Tuesday, sporting a tailored suit that he kept buttoned, along with shorter sleeves and a blue-and-white tie that was far more subdued that his usual bright red.
But just a few days after his warmly received outfit, Trump was back on the road and back to sporting his traditional look — a black suit with a red tie that extended several inches past his belt, as seen above. And thanks to a gust of wind that caught Trump at just the right moment as he descended the staircase from Air Force One, we now know Trump has also continued one of his most bewildering and, some say, embarrassing fashion choices: taping his tie to ensure it stays together.
