Is it time for Fetterman to change his clothing style?

[Funtatlaguy]

I love John.
Am really rooting for him.
In fact, he will be my FAVORITE Senator when he wins.
And I know this is petty.
But for optics sake, I think he should go away from the sweatshirts and wear regular shirts occasionally. Just in formal settings like sit down one on one interviews. Just wear a nice shirt.

Here’s some photos to compare.

1. I'm thinking John should just be John 🙂😉

[Bev54]

2. Why would he change? Because Trump said he didn't like the way he dresses

All the more reason not to. Do not fall into the republican talking points. Nothing wrong with the way he dresses, he is relatable in every way. He will change when he is on the floor of the senate.

[PortTack]

4. ☝️☝️☝️☝️☝️

It seems what he is doing is working..so agree, don’t change it

[Funtatlaguy]

6. Actually on the Senate floor, I'd like the sweatshirts.

It’s just I’ve never seen in anything else.
But, hey, it’s just one opinion. And, it’s MY opinion. I don’t do talking points.

[Bev54]

7. I think they may have a dress code for the senate floor.

[Funtatlaguy]

9. McConnell gets away with wearing a turtleneck 🐢.

[Funtatlaguy]

11. Rand gets away with wearing a rug.

[Bev54]

12. LOL this could go on all day!

[Funtatlaguy]

16. SineManchin dress as democrats and republicans on different days.

[Funtatlaguy]

17. Ted Cruz dresses as an arsehole every day.

[agingdem]

27. No, Sinema dresses

like a cross between a middle school mean girl, Disney's Cruella de Vil, and a 1960s go-go dancer...just saying

[Funtatlaguy]

31. She claims to be bi partisan. So guess her clothes should reflect that.

[Irish_Dem]

47. Outfits made entirely of $1000 dollar bills.

[tblue37]

24. Gym Jordan won't wear a jacket.

[leftieNanner]

28. That's the House

Senate might be more strict.

[rsdsharp]

30. He does on the floor,

or he doesn’t go onto the floor.

[MOMFUDSKI]

3. I hear you

and the folks seem to like him just the way he is. If he goes the suit route, they may have less respect for him for all of a sudden being compliant. It is a hard call.

[IjustDontlikeRepugs]

5. I'm gonna give a big "NOPE".

Big John, be who you are!

[TheBlackAdder]

15. Yep. He knows his audience better than we do.

[KPN]

8. He's genuine. One of the reasons he is popular.

He’ll be fine.

[Bread and Circuses]

10. Yes.

When he first appeared on the scene, I wasn't sure what was going on.

I did find a photo of him dressed in a suit. He should switch it up. He's not 19, he's running for governor and the hoodie doesn't work.

[Bev54]

13. He is running for senator not governor

[Peregrine Took]

14. Yes, if he changed now it would look phony and it just might throw off his mojo.

If there is a debate he might wear a shirt but no tie.

[Funtatlaguy]

18. I'd be good with that. Hell, wear a "welcome to Pennsylvania" tshirt to gig Oz.

[LakeArenal]

19. He's 6'9". I'm sure suits for him would need to be custom made.

He buys clothes that fit his size.

[Irish_Dem]

21. I thought the same thing. He is a very big guy, suits would cost a fortune?

If there is even off the rack that would fit him, the fit would be terrible.

He is going to need custom and that is going to cost some serious money.

[LakeArenal]

36. And very not the "regular guy" thing that is Fetterman.

[Irish_Dem]

39. I'd love to see a stylist and tailor work on Fetterman.

I think he could look great.

His wife is a great dresser, petite, fashionable and adorable.

I'd love to see Fetterman retain the common man vibe but get a bit sexy in his style.
Get some polish to his look.

I think he could look really good.
And still retain the vibe he is going for.

But probably not during the election if his poll numbers are good right now.
Too big a risk to mix it up now.

[LakeArenal]

40. Everyone would look more fashion forward with a stylist.

But I like him just as he wishes to be.

[Irish_Dem]

45. I do too frankly, but he is such a fashion challenge it is fun to kick it up a notch.

[Butterflylady]

56. He is 6'8"

[LakeArenal]

57. I read 6'9". But so what. How does that change the point of the comment?

[Butterflylady]

58. Yes!!!

[Irish_Dem]

20. He's deliberately trying to say he is not a typical politician.

That he is different, and represents ordinary people.

Typically I might agree with the idea of him wearing traditional clothing, but I looked
at his pictures with him wearing a suit and it is off putting.

He is a very large, hulking kind of guy with a stern face and expression.

The suit and tie make him look scary.

I like him better in softer shirts, hoodies, etc.
He looks less menacing. More friendly and approachable.

It is interesting that his wife is quite the clothes horse, she wears very fashionable clothing.
She is petite and adorable. She would certainly know how to dress her husband if he or she thought
it was a good idea.

[Funtatlaguy]

32. I agree with all of that. But, some rare occasions I think do call

for a little more formal attire. Not necessarily a suit, maybe just a nice polo shirt or button down.

[Irish_Dem]

35. He is a challenge to dress. But yes there should be something to upgrade his look at times.

I love fashion and design, love looking at red carpet looks for men and women.

Looking at many pictures of Fetterman in various kinds of clothing, it is a challenge.

I saw a picture of him in a dark shirt for a portrait type photo.
It looked bad. And a polo, the same.

He has such a huge hulking torso, all you see is a bolt of fabric around a mountain of a man.
Who kind of glares at you.

(I love the guy don't get me wrong, I am just going fashionista here.)

I can see why he likes the sweatshirt with a hoodie.
It softens the whole look, especially around his face.
And the sweat shirt breaks up the mass of fabric look.

Personally for dress up I would like to see him in a navy blue dressy jacket, very well tailored to perfection,
over a dressy t-shirt. I would go for a bit of a sexy younger man look.

Not a formal suit and tie.

So yes I agree with you, I would like to see him kick it up a notch.
In a more youthful, polished, a bit sexy tailored jacket and tee-shirt.

His wife by her clothing choices would know what I mean.
That said, it could look awful.

He truly needs a stylist and tailor.

22. No way,

daughter just said, you have to vote for someone who wears a hoodie.

[Irish_Dem]

43. I think we could dress him in something else that would turn your daughters head.

[FloridaBlues]

25. Pretty sure he won't show up on the senate floor in a hoodie and shorts

Probably not suit either. Until than wear what he wants whatever it takes to get him on the senate floor.

[BlueJac]

26. Be who you are.

Honesty.

[Sneederbunk]

29. He could go Jim Jordan as a compromise.

[Funtatlaguy]

33. Oh please wear a whistle and say he's coaching wrestling.

[Irish_Dem]

42. Jebus, not that.

[Heather MC]

34. NOPE! People in suits have destroyed this country why on Earth would we want someone like that

again🤷🏾‍♀️🤣🤣🤣🤣

[Funtatlaguy]

37. Not suits. Just a dress shirt.

[Heather MC]

38. Ohhhhhh lol

[Irish_Dem]

41. One dress shirt on him would take three bolts of fabric. :(

A white shirt would be blinding.

I agree with you, I would like to see him in some other outfits.

What is the question.

I posted upthread some ideas.

But he needs a special stylist as he is a fashion challenge.

I'd like to see him a bit more polished young man, somewhat sexier.

[Funtatlaguy]

44. Maybe hire these guys ?

[Irish_Dem]

46. Oh yah, now you're talking brother. Exactly what we need.

To be honest that would be the most hilarious and greatest show.

Fetterman gets a fashion make over.

I just know Fetterman has a polished sexy soft side to him.
Women would love it.

[Funtatlaguy]

48. It would be hilarious and show he has a sense of humor.

[Irish_Dem]

49. Yes it would soften him up a bit and show his fun side.

I can only imagine some of the comments from the fashion team.
And Fetterman's replies.

[blue neen]

50. Here in PA we like John just the way he is.

He can wear a suit when he gets to the Senate, that'll be fine with us.

[DiamondShark]

51. I think he will fit in

https://www.google.com/search?q=john+fetterman+suit

[Funtatlaguy]

52. Cool. He really rocks that full beard.

[twodogsbarking]

53. I like him fine the way he is.

[Voltaire2]

54. Nope.

[FakeNoose]

55. We know he owns at least one suit and tie

... because he was sworn in as our Lt. Governor of Pennsylvania while wearing them. Also he has done a few pressers in a suit and tie.

I believe that Big John will revise his mode of dress once he enters the Senate. For now he should be comfortable in the clothes he wants to wear while campaigning. It has become his personal trademark.
