It's no secret that former president Barack Obama cleans up well. The man looks great in a suit.
During his downtime, the former commander-in-chief frequently rocked dad jeans. In fact, his proclivity for that particular jean is well-documented.
The thing is, though, not even Obama could make dad jeans cool — they're so big and the color is so plain.
Despite the dad trousers' lack of popularity, he continued to wear them, and the people of the world had to deal.
But that all seemed to change when Mr. Obama recently appeared looking like he just walked off a runway in Milan, wearing fitted jeans, a crisp ironed shirt, and a leather jacket.
It definitely looks like someone has been reading GQ.
*Tyra Banks voice* You are safe from elimination this week, Obama, and you will continue on in the hope of becoming America's Next Top Model.
Of course, the change in his style has not gone unnoticed by people on Twitter. "How dare you, sir," one user tweeted in response to the style upgrade.
Barack Obama gave us 8 years of "dad jeans" knowing all the while that this was possible. How dare you sir!
Folks certainly approve.
No more "dad jeans" for President Obama. He looks so stylish! https://t.co/deyT7T6Y7j
The dad jeans are no more, at least for now.
Dude finally lost the dad jeans. #obama https://t.co/clFcZgKAqt
