Ah, politics: long deemed the Hollywood for ugly people. But in recent years, the old ways have changed. Politicians look different. They act different. And we don't just mean megaphoning rants to crowds of very angry people.

We're referring to Barack Obama's latest appearance at the big B-ball game (that's what Americans call it, right?). The former POTUS eschewed the shapeless suits of Capitol Hill for something more current, and proved how a guy well into his fifties can still dabble in the new classics. Which, in this instance, meant a Rag & Bone bomber jacket embroidered with the number 44 - a reference to his role as the 44th president of the USA. The internet, of course, went wild.

It's a big move for Obama. Once lambasted for wearing a tan suit in 2014 (well, if you watch Fox News), the former President is getting his wardrobe right. Style may come second place to welfare reform and big beautiful walls, but that doesn't mean it's not important.

Bernie, you're up.
