New York mayor Zohran Mamdani has developed a distinctive fashion philosophy: formal wear is appropriate for any occasion. Per The Guardian, Mamdani has spent the past year wearing a full suit in contexts where it's traditionally considered impractical — including while playing football, dancing with Alicia Keys and the New York Knicks roster, and swimming in both pools and the ocean. His one-man crusade seems designed to prove that a suit is, in fact, suitable for all activities.
