President Barrack Obama and Vice President Joe Biden may be on the same team when it comes to work, but when it comes to who dresses better, it looks like they do vie for the better score. Fashion blogger and style critic Hendrik Pohl in a recent article compared the styles of Obama and Biden, and confirmed Obama as the obvious winner, with a 3-2 lead.

“How we dress has a big impact on how we are perceived. It should come to no surprise then that politicians put some serious thought into how they dress before appearing in public - a simple fact that inspired me to take a closer look at Biden's and Obama's dress on their campaign trail,” Pohl said in a press release.

Politicians are often perceived as serious people who dress conservatively. They are not exactly considered as fashion icons, even though they may wear designer suits with the perfect material and fit. They may look extremely neat, organized and professional, but their dressing style is usually classified as a black suit-black tie affair.

Obama, often seen dressed formally, falls back at times with his shirt sleeves folded to three-fourth its length. But even that casual change doesn’t really compromise his style and sophistication.

In the article, Pohl deconstructs the attire of both Biden and Obama, categorizing it into suit fit, shirt fit, the neck tie and its knot, the collar, and the accessories. When it came to the suit fit, Biden took the lead with a perfectly fitting suit, whereas Obama’s suit needed some tailoring as it was a tad baggy. However, Obama was back in the game with his perfectly tailored shirt, right from the collar to the cuffs.

Biden’s collar spread and tie knot were ranked higher by Pohl than Obama’s, as his wide collar spread was more attractive and coordinated with the lapels of his suit. But Obama won hands down when it came to the tie and accessories. His tie was a sober blue-and-gray striped one, as opposed to the bright pink and blue one of Biden’s. Also, Obama accessorized his outfit with a sleek, classy wristwatch with a black leather band.

“Dressing in suit and tie doesn't have to be boring or monotonous. There are lots of subtle accessories that can bring an outfit to the next level without sacrificing the conservative approach politicians tend to take these days. Unfortunately, politicians stick to a somewhat boring and risk-free approach. The fear to 'stand out too much' is apparent as much in Obama's as it is in Romney's looks,” Pohl adds.

First lady Michelle Obama recently rocked the stage at the DNC 2012 in a Tracy Reese dress, gathering positive reviews for her choice of outfit. And now, her husband has been named as better dressed than the Vice President. Quite a fashionable couple, one might say.
