Dressed to Impress
published: Monday | September 3, 2007


Portia Simpson Miller

Being the leader of any country you are constantly in the spotlight. See how our past and present leaders made their fashion statement.

Portia Simpson Miller

Mrs. Simpson Miller can always be found in a pants or skirt suit for all official occasions. Wouldn't it be great to see her in a gown?

Alexander Bustamante


Bustamante

Sir Bustamante was a fashionable dresser. For formal occasions, he wore fishtailed jacket suit and bright floral and pastel plaid, and stripe shirts on casual occasions.

Norman Washington Manley


Norman Manley

He was not big on fashion. In his early years, he wore a three-piece jacket suit but in his latter years, he wore regular jacket suit. One might say his signature statement was that he wore a rose bud in his jacket lapel every day.

Hugh Shearer


Shearer

Mr. Shearer was not only a man with smooth words that could calm any dispute, but he was also a smartly dressed man, rarely seenclad in anything but a traditional jacket suit.

Donald Sangster


Sangster

No doubt about it, Sir Donald was a dapper dresser. He never met a suit he didn't like whether it was for Parliament or any other business. And when it was time for the occasional cocktail or dinner party, Sir Donald would bring out the tuxedo or the tie and tails with the occasional top hat.

Percival James Patterson


( L - R ) Seaga, Patterson

His choice of casual shirts sometimes made him the butt of a few jokes, but that's what worked for him. What persons can never question though was his choices when it came to business or that official function; the man looked good in a suit.

Edward Seaga

Pinpointing a unique dress code for Mr. Seaga was difficult. He was a man to wear traditional suits. And not just any colour suit, he is a man who sports grey suits of all shades, unless, of course, he had a black-tie event to attend, then he'd bring out the dark suit and bow tie.

Now 77, Mr. Seaga is still as smartly dressed as he was decades ago.
