In France, fashion intersects with political identity, shaping the sartorial choices of its leaders. Male politicians opt for navy blue suits, signaling authority and modesty, favored even by President Emmanuel Macron amid recent somber shifts to black suits. Women politicians eschew designer wear for practical trouser-and-jacket combinations to avoid elitist perceptions, yet risk blending into the background. Extremist factions like Marine Le Pen’s RN emphasize sharp suits to integrate into mainstream politics, contrasting with Jean-Luc Melenchon’s far-left workers’ jackets.
