the White House, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has consistently worn casual attire, particularly military-style sweatshirts or sweaters, often adorned with the Ukrainian trident, rather than suits. This clothing choice, which he has maintained since the start of the full-scale Russian invasion in 2022, is a deliberate show of solidarity with Ukrainian soldiers fighting on the frontlines, according to BBC. He has stated that he will wear a suit after the war concludes.
Zelenskyy's choice has been noted and even criticized by some, including a conservative commentator who questioned his attire during an Oval Office meeting. During a visit to the White House, President Donald Trump even commented on Zelenskyy's attire, saying "You're all dressed up today," referencing his black sweatshirt, according to BBC. Despite the comments, Zelenskyy has remained consistent in his choice of clothing, emphasizing the symbolic meaning behind it.
