After mesmerising us all with his jam-packed holiday earlier this year, former President Barack Obama is providing some serious style inspiration.
The man who elevated the dadcore trend has evolved from tailored suits and traditional father jeans to suave leather. While visiting the National Gallery of Art with wife Michelle on Sunday, Obama was seen sporting a brown leather jacket and more slim-fitting jeans.

Obama proved to be ever the gentleman, carrying a shopping bag that added a nice printed edge to his neutral attire. (Okay, we’ve gone too far now.)
The casual look comes after the former President was seen wearing a backwards cap, prompting social media to go absolutely mad.
