Barack Obama marked 10 years since his infamous fashion scandal by celebrating the new tan suit-wearer on the block.
“How it started. How it’s going,” the former president posted on social media with side-by-side pics of himself and Vice President Kamala Harris wearing tan-coloured suits.
Harris, the Democratic presidential nominee, rocked the look at the recent Democratic National Convention, in what some speculated was a jab at Republicans who lost their minds when Obama did it during his presidency.
On August 28, 2014, Obama appeared at a White House press briefing clad in tan. Republican critics claimed it demonstrated a “lack of seriousness,” even though multiple past presidents have worn that colour.
A similar version of Harris’ suit, by Chloé, is listed on the designer’s site under the shade “coconut brown” — apparently a fitting reference to her meme-inspiring “coconut tree” quote.
