President Obama Rocked a Tan Suit, So Twitter Went Nuts

President Obama, likely knowing full well that stricter fashion rules go into place following Labor Day, wore a tan suit to a press conference on Thursday.

The typically navy-blue clad POTUS' fashion choice shocked Twitter, and naturally, they reacted en masse. The #tansuit hashtag quickly began trending in Washington, D.C.

Has a standing U.S. President worn a tan suit before? Yes. Has President Obama? Probably, sure. Is it still funny? You bet.

Message from senior White House official: 'He loves that suit.'
