From Nicolas Sarkozy to President Obama, it’s the invasion of diplomatic denim. Jeans have become a “legitimate part of the global power-dress lexicon” says the Wall Street Journal. World leaders and the business elite have started wearing denim more frequently to signal that they can be well dressed, innovative and free of fuss. The Journal’s Christina Binkley credits Apple CEO Steve Jobs with starting the trend, writing that “his uniform of Levi’s 501s and a black turtleneck was synonymous with innovation in the ‘90s.”
