When it comes to well-dressed world leaders, Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau might just take the top honors (sorry, Obama!). From his days as a totally chill snowboard instructor with a completely understandable penchant for thermals and quilted vests to his current expertly executed way around a suit, we gotta say the 44-year-old is setting some sartorial benchmarks in the sphere of world politics.
And while Trudeau certainly leans heavily on suited looks—he’s gotta look professional, after all—this weekend we got to see him in a more relaxed state while walking with his family in the Vancouver Pride Parade (’cause he’s not a regular PM, he’s a cool one). And what does Canada’s second most important fella (the first being Bieber) wear while off duty? Well, cool dad Trudeau cemented his status as ultimate Cool World Leader by stepping out in a pair of white jeans. With everyone from Nick Jonas to Prince William sporting it (HRH while doing yoga, no less), white denim has got to be the runaway trend of the summer. In fact, barely a day has gone by this summer that some GQ staffer hasn’t embraced it, and it’s looked good every time.
Have questions/comments/concerns about how/when/where to wear white jeans? Fear not, we have answers. Lots of ’em. No, seriously, we got you covered.
In the meantime, just marvel at the borderline ecstatic Trudeau as he walks in the parade, wearing them white jeans with pride. There’s a reason that he’s being mentioned in the same sentence as Leonardo DiCaprio. What next, a GQ cover? Never say never.
