Barack Obama and Prince Harry are famously very friendly with each other. They first met back in 2015, when British prince visited Washington. Since then, the paths of two political figures crossed several times during many public events. Every time they saw each other, Obama openly tweeted about it and referred to Harry as ‘my friend’.

In 2017, the two even went to a basketball game in Toronto, most likely because Harry was spending a lot of time there with his bride-to-be Meghan Markle. So, it’s safe to say Obama knew about his friend’s relationship before it became public.

This warm relationship, however, might’ve something to do with Barack Obama and Prince Harry sharing a similar mindset, which is supported by a certain aspect of their lives.

All about the suit

If you’re following Prince Harry’s public appearances and paid attention to millions of his photos online, you might’ve noticed something. The royal heir has a very distinct style, which he’d deliberately chosen: he always wears the same suit. 

Now, we don’t mean the prince has only one suit in his closet, but that he prefers the same cut and color. Think about it, Prince Harry is almost exclusively seen wearing a dark blue suit. It’s his usual choice for royal engagements, and it was his outfit for gorgeous engagement photos with Meghan Markle.

Fashion bloggers and connoisseurs celebrate Harry’s choice and say there’s a very simple explanation for it. Many powerful men find one style that suits them the best and stick to it. This way, less time is spent deciding what to wear. If you know what suits you best, you’re always ready to go and look dashing.

Notably, Barack Obama shares Prince Harry’s style direction, as he also decided on one suit a long time ago. His wife, Michelle, revealed that for eight years of public appearances ex-president of the United States wore the same suit and shoes.

It certainly makes sense, doesn’t it? People pay less attention to what men are wearing. Most of the time, if a male in a public eye is rocking a good suit, he will be spared the fashion judgment.

Barack and Harry aren’t the only ones

There are so many more famous men, who follow the same style beliefs as Barack Obama and Prince Harry. Legendary tech mind, Steve Jobs, was known for sticking to a black turtleneck and jeans, while his colleague Mark Zuckerberg pairs similar jeans with plain T-shirts. Music industry mogul, Simon Cowell, has the same preference: jeans and long-sleeve white T-shirts.

The fashion designer Tom Ford is the most surprising to be seen on this list. He’s known for making stunning suits in the world, but he sticks to a stylish black suit.

We say – if you know what looks good on you, and it fits the occasion, then stick to what you know best.
