Pushing for Progress
Sock Game On Fleek
 |

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau kept it conservative and cool at his initial World Economic Forum message and appearance on Wednesday. On Jan. 21 PMJT met a group of young forum attendees at the session "Global Shapers on Pluralism", according to the CBC. The meeting changed his style game immensely in Davos, Switzerland with one of his signature looks.

Highlights: PMJT kept it light and fun with a purple tie, sans jacket, rolled up sleeves on his dress shirt, and of course, quirky skull-and-crossbones purple socks.
Significance: This may be the first time we have seen PMJT without a jacket on so far in Davos. By wearing a shirt with the sleeves rolled up, we get a more casual vibe coming from the Prime Minister. By having been styled this way we think he is seen as more approachable to the youth, as it sets a more easy-going atmosphere and breaks down any barriers for young people who don't tend to wear suits in their daily lives just yet. However, he presents himself as respectable to the group by sporting a business casual look with a shirt and tie. The fun socks were a great opportunity to wear them, as the group were neighbourly and welcoming.
Overall: We think this is a great approach for engaging the youth this way. The tone of the session was positive and uplifting, so we think this look was just right. Well done.

Dapper in Davos

PMJT arrived in Davos, Switzerland in style this week for the World Economic Forum. The Prime Minister declared it is the best time to invest in Canada.
His opening speech also touched on the country's diversity, and now more than ever, Canada's focus on equality.
PMJT also had the chance to speak with U2's Bono, House of Cards' Kevin Spacey, and environmental activist Leonardo DiCaprio at a private reception hosted by businessman and philanthropist, Jack Ma according to the CBC.

Highlights: We feel PMJT looks his best in anything blue, so the World Economic Forum stage made him look even more on point as if it were a real-life Instagram filter.
Significance: His carefully crafted look complimented the World Economic Forums's cobalt blue backdrop with a complimentary pale blue dress shirt, and what looks like the same Hugo Boss tie he wore on the day of his swear-in as PM. As this is a more serious forum and environment, PMJT's usual sock game was toned down a notch or two for a more conservative vibe for the meeting.
Overall: His suit, tie, shirt, and modest socks complimented just about everything around him. Although we would have loved to see him wear his bold socks, we understand the meeting's more serious atmosphere for his initial message, and we like that he did too.
