Back in March 2015, Justin Trudeau met up with VICE News to discuss his campaign, and other important topics relevant to Canadian news. This was one of the few times I've seen Trudeau in so much plaid so this ultimately caught my eye.

Highlights: That lovely steel blue matching that sports jacket. Paired perfectly with slim grey trouser which matches Vice's Shane Smith's pair coincidently. Clean white dress shirt, and slim tie.
Appealing to: GQ enthusiasts.
Significance: VICE media is catered to younger generations who prefer alternative medium to get their news. It is though Trudeau's team wanted to have him in anything but a "stuffy" suit, way more relaxed, but still very well put together. The business casual look lightens up his image, making him more relatable for the youth vote. For them seeing a PM candidate in something like a blazer is less serious and boring (then perhaps signifying less dry as a personality).
