US Politics has changed drastically over the past decade \u2014 from the \u2018Barack Obama tan suit scandal\u2019 to debate over the fashion choices of current presidential nominee Kamala Harris. Beige (or tan) may be a synonym for \u2018dull\u2019 in GenZ parlance, it is anything but \u2018safe\u2019 for White House aspirants.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Barack Obama cut a dashing yet controversial figure in August 2014 as he held a live press conference about the ISIS situation in Syria. And while terrorism would be considered an important issue, his \u2018shockingly\u2019 light-colored suit was all many could talk about. Ten years later, the colour reclaimed its rightful place in the political discourse after US Vice President Kamala Harris joined the Democratic National Convention in a flared-leg tan suit.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Netizens deemed it an \u2018expert level choice\u2019 for the US Vice President with many convinced that she was subtly trolling Republican pundits. And former POTUS Barack Obama appeared to be in agreement.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\u201cHow it started. How it\u2019s going. Ten years later, and it\u2019s still a good look!\u201d he insisted in an Instagram post.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\u201cRemember when a tan suit was the biggest scandal a sitting president had ? I miss those days,\u201d read one nostalgic comment on the post.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\u201cIntegrity and tan suits never go out of style,\u201d wrote another.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\u201cThis is the type of petty to which I aspire!\u201d cheered a third.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Netizens also remain convinced that Harris had opted for a tan suit to \u2018troll Republicans\u2019 at the DNC. Many also predicted \u201can entire week of tan suit coverage\u201d from right-leaning US news platforms after her appearance.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\u201cKamala bringing back the tan suit! There might be a tear in Obama’s eye. Will media lose its mind? Either way, excellent trolling I might add and she looks fabulous while doing it,\u201d wrote one X user.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\u201cOMG she’s wearing a tan suit. That’s deep cut trolling. Respect,\u201d agreed a second.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
