Behind Every Badly Dressed Man...


...is a woman who should know better?

At least that seems to be the case with Japanese Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama. His wife, Miyuki, seems to be responsible for his garish outfits as she "coordinates what her husband wears for public events and styles his hair".

Mrs. Hatoyama has appeared on TV with some inspired wardrobe choices of her own, such as a shirt made from coffee sacks she acquired in Hawaii. She has been called the most colorful first lady Japan has produced, and her reputation shines through her husband's clothes.

Whatever the reasons or persons behind Mr. Hatoyama's fashion offenses, a Japanese fashion critic seems to think his choices are the cause for his decreasing popularity. Sounds like it's time to bring in the experts, or to at least buy a trusty old black suit and tie!
