Donald Trump mocked over 'ill-fitting' tux at state dinner with the Queen

...snip...

Trump was compared to a cartoon character and even Frankenstein.

"OK, I was gonna make a joke about how Trump looks like the bit from Young Frankenstein, but, honestly, that's unfair to how well tailored the Monster's tux is," tweeted David J Bradley.

Maybe white-tie trends have changed? But no, wrote Jonathan Evans, the digital style director for the men's magazine Esquire. He says Trump's version was just wrong, most obviously in that the white waistcoat hung below his tailcoat.

"Donald Trump's outfit. It just isn't right... right? It's not easy to put your finger on the exact cause of the problem, but you don't need to know the ins and outs of white tie to know that something is not right with this situation," Evans wrote.
