Why do US presidents always wear the Navy Blue suits when the black suit is more formal? Is it a history/military thing?

>> No.17048628

Black suit is for funerals.
In Northern Europe, traditionally a dark gray suit is the most formal colour of a suit.

A black suit isn't the more formal. Black tie is more formal, but that's not a normal suit. Blue means business that's all. It makes them look as trustworthy and industrious even if they're all a bunch of worthless crooks

True but the fit makes all the difference. A slim fitting tailored black suit with a skinny tie looks way too sleek for anyone to think you're going to a funeral.
At the same time it's way too stylish for a professional, it looks vain like you're trying to bring attention to your looks.

Don't wear black suits. Even at a funeral you're better off with a charcoal suit - pic related

Because blue is held to be 'trustworthy' in the eyes of voters. At least in policy wonk/PR circles. That's why you see so much of it in debates, for instance.

Plus Navy/Charcoal are the default for suits in the United States. Politicians/Presidents grew up with that as the case, and stubbornly hold onto it. To do otherwise would be to be considered 'flashy', like Obongo's faux pas tan suit.

Black in suiting is seen as a color for undertakers, waitstaff, and funerals. In an American/Western context.

>black silk necktie is symbol of mourning
>charcoal gray suit is somber and versatile
Full black suit is too associated as strictly for funerals and deep mourning. In 21st century, the dark gray/charcoal gray suit is sufficient for mourning and funerals, and is more versatile in use.

Notice that King Philip VI of Spain has chosen to wear the black silk necktie as the subtle yet unmistakable sign of mourning.

It's lacking the usual dark business blue presidential style, but this beige - ecru suit and his necktie are definitely styling drippy and not inappropriate for Summer.

Mrs. Obama is wearing ivory lace outfit. I like the look although it's non-traditional for US Presidents in 21st century.

I'm sure that past US Presidents have varied their wardrobe colors and suit style according to Seasons.

You wear black if you want to be in the background. It's ok for a winter overcoat but as a suit it's for activities/venues where you don't want attention. Casino and philanthropies or galas aside, you wear black in a professional capacity if you're a chauffeur(very classic would have a driver's suit with hat but that's another tangent) or a bodyguard where you don't want to be the center of attention. Otherwise it's for funerals or the club. Wearing black shows that you're not bon vivant and a bit uncultured. An overuse of black shows laziness, incapacity, lack of virility, discretion and it's sort of glaring desu.
