Ex-Butler Reveals Why Donald and Barron Avoid Jeans and the Last Time Trump Wore Them
Donald Trump has barely ever been spotted sporting a pair of jeans. But there was one activity that led him to adorn the jeans. The former butler, Anthony Senecal shared that Trump only wore them for his ski trips. "When the skiing stopped, the jeans disappeared. You’ll never just see him in a T-shirt and jeans, he’s going to be in a suit," Senecal said as reported by the Independent.
Good picture here. Trump is wearing the same style he has always worn. The pants are wide, the jacket fits him but isn't too tight. He is wearing traditional black shoes. It's an elegant fit. Lindy

Another reason behind his decision to not appear in jeans has to do with his relativity of confidence with attire. According to the Washington Post, stylist Lauren Rothman said, "It’s versions of the same thing, every day. There’s a confidence that comes from a uniform." Trump has a signature style similar to a businessman's formal attire. According to The List, the professional outfit selection has a lot to do with Trump's intent to present a healthy gait. The wide-length pants and padded jackets help with disguising his body weight and give a more illusioned sense of body proportions.

According to The Guardian, in his memoir, Let Me Finish, Chris Christie especially mentioned Trump's fashion choices and his signature long tie which goes below his waist. Christie also penned how the real estate mogul once confessed that he purposefully wore the ties low as they have a "slenderizing effect" on his appearance. Interestingly, the business professional style has also had a significant impact on his son Barron Trump. The youngest son of the Republican politician has also been spotted adorning a similar style as his father. Barron often marks his presence with his father in formals.

Previously, Melania Trump shared in 2013 that her 7-year-old son likes to dress up like his father. The former FLOTUS told ABC News, "He likes to dress up in a tie sometimes like Daddy" and that he was definitely "not a sweatpants child." Barron as per his mother is not into casual outfits for public appearances. However, the young teen was pictured in jeans several times with his parents in the White House during Trump's tenure as the POTUS.
Other than Trump, yesteryear presidents like- Barack Obama, Bill Clinton, and Ronald Reagan have all marked their informal presence in the jeans with a casual t-shirt. All the mentioned Presidents of the United States of America donned it for the ritual of Easter egg hunts and other similar cultural events at the White House with their kids.
