Well, it also doesn't help that he's using a lighter navy colored suit of all things.

Black goes with everything and everything, same with white (though I find white suits incredibly ugly in almost every circumstance -- personal thing)

Pink and navy not my favorite.

Also I guess it's not so much the colors specifically as the design. Yes, you could do a fashion thing with a matching tie but while I think socks can be cute on my girlfriend with designs like that, in a professional setting I just feel like flat colors are best.

The contrast between Trump and Trudeau there is stark:

Trump went with a much darker shade of blue suit, black shoes, black socks, white shirt. Tie is a lighter blue that accentuates the blues on his suit and matches, especially since dark colors and light colors can work very well together like that.

Trudeau is all over the place: Brown shoes, pink abstract patterned socks, a brighter blue suit, a..lavender? shirt and purple tie.

Had Trudeau gone with a darker shoe and black, blue or even white/lavender socks, his ensemble would look and work a lot better.

So I suppose it's not the colors I'm personally against -- and I'm not saying anything against them specifically, just that I prefer darker colors like navy and black -- but the way he put that outfit together is just all over the place.

I still stand by: those are the kind of socks that my girlfriend would wear, not me.
