How comes most dictators were not only from a Proletarian family but were also very poorly dressed? How comes there never was any fashionable dictator?

Quit making so many threads all over the place, you'll get banned. I'd like to keep you around for a while, you're entertaining.

Most did have a lot of style; distinct and interesting to say the least. Rather it's good style or not is another story.

Hitler didn't dress well at all though I like the Waffen SS Uniforms. Stalin didn't dress welll either, late communist uniforms are nice though. Franco well... Lets say he wasn't Cary Grant. Mussolini dressed OK but he could have made an effort.

Many of them seem to wear just one outfit

Among the three though, there's something about Castro which makes me think of him as the most stylish. His style resembles that of Che Guevara's and who doesn't know Che's style, right ? Aside from that "fighter" look, he's just so marketable.

I guess? Too bad he is a filthy communist.

Do a google image search of Mobutu Sese Seko for the ultimate counterpoint to your Op.
