Donald Trump has been through two marriages, thousands of lawsuits, and many reforms in public policy. But one thing remains unchanged - his recognizable style. The choice of clothes and hairstyle of the future 47th President of the United States has become as iconic as his controversial statements.
As critic Robin Givhan points out, Trump's suits, though expensive, do not look luxurious. They convey the image of a man who is close to the working class, whose audience, according to polls, are his biggest supporters.
The look of the suits tells a different story compared to the clothes of modern billionaires. The jeans, T-shirts, and sweatshirts of such people reflect the idea of success as a desire for individuality.
Trump's style demonstrates a certain confidence in his choices, even if he does not follow the classic canons of luxury.

Clothes always tell a story - about the times, their course, and how the person who wears them feels about these changes. The style of someone who wants to "make America great again" is strongly nostalgic.
People usually stop in their style at the moment, the journalist says, when they feel they have reached the top. Perhaps this image represents the happiest times in their married life, their greatest professional achievements, or a year of sporting triumph.
Donald Trump's style is a remnant of the 1980s, a time when life was bright and daring. Everything was big then: shoulder pads, ambitions, and hairstyles.

As for his hairstyle, today it is a sleek, styled bun of shiny hair. What once symbolized the image of a man at the peak of his powers now looks like an attempt to preserve the past.

Today's Trump hasn't really changed since then. However, what was once considered impressive now looks hopelessly outdated, says Givhan.
