Eric Adams- New York City Mayor- elect
View attachment 1715306

I like Eric Adams' style, but I don't think he is particularly well dressed or not well dressed. He is put together, though, and looks a lot better with a tie than when he wears the open neck dress shirt.

Like to be clear: I think he has good style, I just don't think he is in the top tier of well dressed men in politics. He's a big improvement over di Blasio in virtually every way, shape, and form, though.

on that note, however, the bar for entry to being well dressed in American politics is quite low.

Dutch politician Theo Hiddema, politically not my guy but love to see a bit of dandyism in politics. Especially today when anything more than a clean navy worsted suit with blue or red tie is seen as elitism and not approachable.

I saw Rockefeller in person probably in the early sixties. Even then I had an eye for
clothing. He was wearing a two button sharkskin (?) suit with peaked lapels. This
was during the height of the Ivy era. He looked great.
