Tom Ford makes nice suits, wants to fix Obama's wardrobe

Unlike presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama hasn't faced too much scrutiny about his wardrobe choices. In fact, Obama's finely-tuned fashion sense inspired Paper magazine to devote a whole fashion spread to him entitled "Mr. President."

But there seems to be one brave soul who thinks the junior Illinois senator is in dire need of a suit overhaul.

Designer Tom Ford told Vogue UK: "I think he's a great-looking guy but I think his suits don't fit him very well. I think he's a terrific potential presidential candidate and I'm very excited as a Democrat, so Hillary or Obama, I like both options. I wouldn't mind dressing Obama. I wouldn't say he's badly dressed, but he could sharpen up his look a little better."

Well, we'll admit this much, Obama would look amazing in a Tom Ford bespoke suit. Maybe Ford could pull some vintage Gucci for Hillary? Or maybe we should be discussing the two candidates platforms instead of their designer duds?

What do you think?

It's a freakin black suit! Last thing he needs is press on him for spending $2k on a designer suit. Stick with Men's coat factory Obama.
