The other Obama

obama_running_blueflys_blog_flypaper_1.jpgMuch has been said about Michelle Obama's style, but the previously silent question 'can she please do something about her husband's casual clothing?' is now being loudly articulated. Now that he's soon to be top man, Obama's penchant for 'Dad Jeans,' and faded, ill-fitting and even hole-ridden clothes are becoming the subject of stylish people prattle. Granted, it's all gentle derision from the people who voted him in, and they all recognize the man has more to ponder at the moment than the rinse on his denim. But this has to get better; we have hope. Bluefly is the perfect home for him -- he's both blue and fly, duh -- and we'd love to see him keep his presidential cool in some fashionable jeans, a great V-neck sweater to highlight his trim shape, some handsome boots and a nice autumnal scarf. And all of this, might we add, comes to a price tag that won't raise any brows.
