It is clear that our Prime minister Narendra Modi is a living example of simplicity. He has displayed it right at his swearing-in ceremony, by choosing a humble pale grey waistcoat to go with a crisp white kurta-pajama. Modi’s sartorial choices have been noticed since he first took charge as the Prime Minister in 2014. Back then, he wore an understated beige jacket now identified by many as Modi jacket.
This time also, Modi choose a soothing color to face an audience at the forecourt of Rashtrapati Bhavan on a hot summer evening. Designers and fashion experts gave his choice of color and design a thumbs-up, especially as he continues to be a flag-bearer of cultural dressing.
Modi took oath for his second term as Prime Minister after leading the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance to a smashing victory in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections. Celebrated fashion designer Rohit Bal, known for his culturally-rooted creations, described Modi’s fashion as “very elegant, suave and quiet”. Well-fitted bandh-gala suits, half-sleeved kurtas, sleeveless jackets or his style of adding a touch of local culture to his dressing wherever he travels, Modi has been quite on point with his fashion game.
