3. pants too short
4. pants too wide
5. cuffs too short

Well, he is wearing a tux. And the monogram on the loafers is Ralph Lauren, who does a lot of monogram tux shoes.

Has potential. Those pants need to be trimmed down alot below the knee if he wants to wear them at that length and have it look correct.

Might want to wear a tuxedo shirt if you're going to wear a tux....

Not sure why he's wearing a tux to begin with.

I get what's he's trying to do... but he's not successful at it.

This should be the poster for the need for slim fitting suits.

Give the guy a break... yes it would have looked better slimmer, but I'm sure everyone in here has pics of them dressed worse.

I disagree, I think the jacket is fine, its the pink business shirt and too short pants that arent tapered killing the look. These guys are all trying to be Jay Z and they're not very good at it.

It's ironic b/c when Jay first started 'dressing well' he would generally look bad to mediocre imo.
He has grown into his fits (kind of like Lebron has started to).

Whereas, Pharrell usually looks good.
I just think this was ill conceived. Particularly for the White House.

You're right, thats a good point.

All of us who didnt grow up in jackets and ties probably took a little while to get it together.
