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.
