Let me help out with a couple of clips from the articles.
On Zelenskyy:
Zelenskyy’s clothes are sending a soft, anti-elitist message. When he meets with prominent figures and power brokers, his clothes are basically asking, what are you about? Are you about the business of saving lives, or are you about fancy protocols? Even when he meets with kings, he dresses in a way that represents the average Ukrainian involved in this war effort. So it’s a message to say, “I’ve come to the corners of power as a representative of my humble people.”
...
In Ukrainian society, there’s a strong emphasis on equality. People don’t care about status and wealth, but common cause. When Zelenskyy travels abroad, it wouldn’t be very nice of him to wear very expensive suits, such as Ralph Lauren or whatever.
But his clothing is also a message for people beyond Ukrainians. His clothes pose a question: Are you ready to look beyond dress protocols and talk to someone who represents humble soldiers who are doing heroic things every day? Are you ready to step down from the heights of your protocols and talk about real-life issues, such as saving the country and lives of people?
On Trump:
Donald Trump is using suits with heavily padded shoulders to hide his weight — but it isn’t working, according to a menswear expert.
