Politicians have been warned that fashion mistakes could cost them votes as a leading menswear writer criticized Rishi Sunak's ankle-length suits.
Derek Guy, nicknamed the Menswear Guy for his viral social media posts, believes that dress errors by government figures may detract from their political messages.
On Monday, a California-based fashion blogger posted four photos to his 460,000 followers on X, formerly known as Twitter, one of which appears to have been photoshopped to make Mr. Sunak's pants appear a few inches shorter than they actually were.
Along with four unflattering shots, he wrote: «It baffles me how the richest British Prime Minister in history could live just a few steps from Savile Row, the single largest concentration of skilled tailors, and end up paying $2,000 for a suit. MTM with sleeves. and the trousers are 2-4 inches shorter.»
Mr. Guy highlighted these images as examples of Mr. Sunak's gaffe in fashion
In a follow-up to the post, which has been viewed 2.4 million times, Mr Guy brushed off speculation that Mr Sunak, who is 5ft 6in, wore smaller clothes to appear taller. «I don't think he has a grand theory about how short sleeves and trousers make him look taller.»
He added: «It's not uncommon to see rich guys wearing cropped suits like this. In fact, it is the dominant silhouette if you visit the central area of any major city.”
Mr Guy, who joined the social networking site in 2011, has seen his account skyrocket in popularity this year, due in part to the introduction of an algorithmic «For You» tab that prompts users for new accounts. He criticizes the style choices of rich and powerful people and draws ire with his sometimes conflicting opinions.
Mr Guy suggested Sleeves and Pants prime ministers were two to four inches shorter 
Last month he wrote an op-ed for the American newspaper Politico in which he said, that the male politicians in the country «dress like sr».
“Men politicians wear ill-fitting suits, orphan suits. jackets paired with distressed jeans, trousers that wrap around the ankles, and sweaters crammed into an oversized jacket,” he wrote in the article.
“These gaffes largely go unnoticed in non-election years .
«But for presidential candidates on the campaign trail, such missteps in clothing could generate unnecessary headlines and divert attention from their message.» fashion choices become history.
In June, when he joined Frontier Brigades in Dover to give a speech about his plan to stop small migrant boats, attention shifted to £190 Timberland boots and some people his own slogan has been ridiculed online, paraphrasing it: «Stop your boots.»
Mr. Sunak's style mistakes stand in stark contrast to his wife, Akshata Murthy, who was in contention for the top spot last week. Tatler Magazine's Most Stylish People List.
Despite his criticism, Mr. Guy said Mr. Sunak tends to be «vaguely on the trend» as he pointed out that prefers skinny chinos and flip flops from Palm Angels. and sneakers from Common Projects.
He said the prime minister was «a little behind the times» and suggested he was following «early 2000s menswear trends» such as the «cropped suit» style, presented for the first time by American fashion designer Tom Brown.
