Mr. President, the most formal shirt is a white one. Sometimes it looks out of place when worn without a jacket. A French blue shirt does not. Even wearing a dark suit jacket with a white shirt looks like an abandoned orphan - and out of place. I'd love to see you wear more French …

President Obama, please don't wear a grey suit with a grey tie; it's blah and boring. Grey is born negative - old & grey, tired & grey, sad & grey - and needs a powerful tie to give it power and presence. Your purple tie does just that! Always think "contrast" when you're selecting a …

The blue pantsuit is a good style and good color for you. Glad to see you're not wearing any more of those campaign-trail pantsuits that flared out at the bottom in a Nehru style, like the one above, right. They didn't flatter your figure. Also, the blue color is a bit wimpy - as are …

Now that's a presidential look on the left. White shirts are the most formal, so they are the most powerful; however, you need a power tie to match, and one that is also dynamic. The darker the color, the higher the authority, but the tie in the center photo isn't appropriate for a dark suit …

Hillary, your hair looks great in the left photo- especially the right side in this photo (your left side), because it is slightly angled so that it frames your face so nicely. The photo on the right isn't as good, because you have swept the bangs back, presumably to keep them out of your eyes. …

Hillary, Yes!! Your hair is nearly there. You look so soft, so pretty. But distinguished, dynamic and powerful, too. The best place to be is in that sweet spot where you are attractive and powerful! That photo on the right is there. Plus you look relaxed, confident and happy! Tip: The color of the suit …

Dear Mr. President, A reminder that grey is a very passive color and needs to be made positive by the addition of a power tie in a bold color. The tie on the left is just plain wimpy. Pale colors come across as passive and powerless. A man's tie is the only place where he …

Yes, yes, yes to the hair on the right. It frames the face and flatters. Ash tones with very pale highlights framing the face would be perfect for you, Madam Secretary! Even though it's probably the camera setting, the golden tones on the left are not as nice as the pink skin tones and cool …

Dear Mr. President, Please don't wear any more pastel blue ties. I know former President Bush wore them all the time; and I assume it's because he had John Molloy's "Dress for Success" book, which had a dark power suit teamed with a light blue tie on the cover. Mr. Molloy did lots of research …

Dear President Obama, Grey is not a color for a president. It's a color for many politicians, because it is so wishy washy - neither good nor bad, black nor white, but somewhere vaguely in between. I think you'll agree that a Grey Lie and a Grey Area do not have positive connotations. Please ditch …
