Trump broke the tradition by wearing a blue suit instead of black but whether he had a reason for it or not is unclear.

However, there is definitely a reason behind Zelenskyy not following the usual dress code.

Why Volodymyr Zelensky didn't follow the dress code?

Zelenskyy wore a black jacket, black shirt and trousers but did not wear a tie.

His dress style was a reminiscent of a military uniform meant to remind the world of his country being at war.

During a meeting at the White House in February with Trump and Vice President JD Vance, Zelenskyy was criticized for his choice of clothing by a reporter, who is also the boyfriend of Trump ally Marjorie Taylor Greene, to which Zelenskyy replied, "I will wear costume after this war will finish. Maybe something like yours, maybe something better. We will see, maybe something cheaper," as per Express.

A designer of one of the clothing brands worn by Zelenskyy had earlier said, "When world leaders see Zelenskyy in military style, it is a signal - 'Ukraine is at war and I am part of this fight'."
