The King of the Navy Suit
President John F. Kennedy has been described as having had an Ivy League-style. This meant plenty of navy or gray suits.
In fact, it was a dark blue suit that helped him pop during a televised presidential debate against Richard Nixon in 1960. So, ask not what your navy suit can do for you, ask what you can do for your navy suit!
Still Dapper Though
Yes, a navy suit is often a safe choice. But, you can't say that JFK didn't wear the hell out of 'em.
Different President, Same Navy Suit
Following in his predecessor's footsteps, Lyndon B. Johnson also wore his fair share of navy suits. He could also be found wearing the colors gray and black.
President he may've been, fashion icon he was not.
A Navy Man in Navy
Richard Nixon had more stuff to worry about than fashion, like ending the Vietnam War. (Also, *cough* Watergate *cough*.) So, it was rare to spot President Nixon in anything other than navy, gray or black.
Mixing It Up With Gray
Case in point: Here's President Nixon in a classic gray suit.
Navy Suit in the Oval Office
This isn't the first navy suit to grace the Oval office. Worn by President Gerald Ford, who was taking, what appears to be, a very serious phone call.
We Call This Blueish Gray
President Jimmy Carter seemed to mix two presidential colors with this blue-gray suit.
Classic Navy
However, in this photo, he kept it classic with a Navy ensemble.
Well, That's Not Navy
Look at this brown suit! We almost did a double take. President Ronald Reagan wore this cool suit when he was just the President-elect visiting the White House.
Back to Basics
While President Reagan could mix it up here and there, he still donned many a navy suit. Here he is wearing one in 1984.
A Charcoal Number
Instead of Navy, President George H.W. Bush wore a charcoal suit while greeting Philippine President Corazon Aquino in 1989.
Keeping It Casual
President Bush did have a casual side though! Here we see him wearing jeans and a leather jacket while at Camp David.
President Clinton in Navy
While campaigning for the presidency in '92, President Bill Clinton wore—wait for it—a navy suit.
Navy, But Not Entirely
Serious up top, party on the bottom. We're not sure what President Clinton is speaking about in this shot, but we do notice his outfit.
While the 42nd president kept it classic with a dark jacket, he spiced things up with bright blue pants. Gotta love the '90s!
Spotted: President George W. Bush in Navy
Like his father, President George W. Bush had plenty of navy suits in his wardrobe. It looks like navy suits will stand the test of time.
More Casual
When he wasn't wearing a navy suit, President Bush would channel his Texan roots and wear jeans and a shirt. However, the ensemble still features shades of a blue.
A Royal Look
For a meeting with Queen Elizabeth II, President Barack Obama wore his finest tail tuxedo.
A Tan Suit We'll Never Forget
President Obama made headlines when he wore a tan suit for a press conference about the U.S.'s plans regarding Syria. At the time, critics called President Obama's suit too casual for such a serious update.
All we remember is he looked damn good and that is wasn't navy!
Looking Good
President Obama went with a classic gray suit for this outing. And may we just say, he looked like pure fire!
No Tie for Trump
President Donald Trump chose to forgo a tie for one of his campaign stops in 2016.
Business Attire
