Paul Ryan’s Favorite Shirt: the New Campaign Staple
Published at
SAUL LOEB/AFP/Getty Images(WASHINGTON) — Paul Ryan proves it’s hip to be a square. Or at least have a bunch of them on your shirt. The new Republican running mate has a favorite pattern and he’s been shamelessly sporting it on the campaign trail ever since he was announced as Mitt Romney’s VP pick.
Most recently, he sported one Friday at a rally in Virginia, and before that, he wore one Thursday while chowing down on a chili dog in Ohio, where it seems he managed to keep it clean.
Before that, his top of choice also made an appearance at a Wednesday rally at Ryan’s alma mater, Miami of Ohio (think he wore it while he was a student there, too?) and at his first solo rally in Colorado on Tuesday.
The VP hopeful did make one bold fashion choice with a red and white checkered shirt at the Iowa State Fair on Monday.
While it has its issues, the Romney-Ryan campaign is fully in sync on one issue: wardrobe. At one of the first events after the announcement, the pair campaigned in Wisconsin on Sunday in matching checkered shirts, presenting a united front in Ryan’s home state.
Ryan had better hope for a lot of quick turnaround dry cleaners if he’s planning on keeping his wardrobe consistent through November – though, of course, he could always be stocking a closet full of backups on the campaign bus.
