In Defense of Tan

As regular COTTonLINE readers know, we rarely come to the defense of President Obama. However, today is one of those rare events.

A number of sources, including Esquire, have beaten up Obama for the tan suit he wore to a press conference a day or two ago. There has been considerable piling-on.

Nobody accuses DrC of being a fashion plate, but I tend to know what looks "together" and what does not. I thought his tan suit looked entirely appropriate for summer wear, and he wore it well.

Admittedly, the world condition is grave. Must our president therefore always dress like a mortician?

The real fashion gaffe is V. Putin going shirtless at photo ops. That truly lacks class.
