Justin Trudeau
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is a fan of fun, off-the-shelf socks. So, in September, at the opening of the Bloomberg World Business Forum in New York, the politician appeared in a pair with Chewbacca, a Star Wars character. The Stance sock model cost Trudeau $ 20, Esquire noted.

Stance with Chewbacca are not the only socks in the wardrobe of the politician with the heroes of the cult saga of George Lucas. In May 2017, the Canadian came to a meeting with then Prime Minister of Ireland Enda Kenny wearing a multi-colored pair with the image of the droids R2-D2 and C-3PO. And German Chancellor Angela Merkel Trudeau charmed with pink socks with the NATO emblem. She even posted a photo of them on her Instagram page.
Theresa May
British Prime Minister Theresa May also prefers bright images. Since her inauguration in July 2016, the politician's wardrobe has been repeatedly discussed in the press. Last December, a scandal erupted over the things in which May appeared on the pages of The Sunday Times. The politician wore leather pants for $ 1,270 and Burberry sneakers for $ 376. Then the prime minister was accused of extravagance, but this kit cannot be called the most "hooligan" in May. The Conservative leader has repeatedly appeared in public in a few “bold” shoes: leopard print pumps, loafers with metal spikes and crocodile leather boots. And Teresa May calls her "happy" outfit a Vivienne Westwood suit in a cage and with wide trousers.

Dmitry Medvedev
Dmitry Medvedev's clothes have attracted public attention more than once. So, last summer, everyone discussed the Jimmy Choo Oxfords of the Russian Prime Minister, and in February 2017, the Carlo Visconti tie, in which the politician appeared at a meeting of United Russia. Attention was drawn to the tie print - blue Vespa mopeds on a green background. “ Carlo Visconti is one of our firms, ties are made in Italy. It is a great honor for us that your minister wears our tie, next time we will treat him as our best client and will certainly provide a discount,”noted brand owner Federico Belli. It is worth noting that the price of a tie is very affordable - € 35.

Narendra Modi
In January 2015, Barack Obama paid an official visit to India. A suit was made specially for this event for the Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi. It was made by a tailor from Ahmedabad in the tradition of North Indian fashion - with a low stand-up collar. But the main "highlight" of the costume was the vertical golden stripes made up of Modi's full name. The outfit that the Indian politician wore only once, according to media reports, cost him dearly: a million rupees or $ 15 thousand.

True, a month later, the cost of the suit increased sharply. In February 2015, Modi put it up for auction. Its new owner is the "diamond baron" Laljibhai Patel, who owns the Dharmananda Diamond Company for the sale of diamonds. He paid $ 643,000 for the lot, which Modi sent to cleanse the Ganges River, sacred to the Hindus.>
