Exorbitantly-Priced Suits: Suits and Parisian Retailer

exorbitantly-priced suits: Centrist candidate Emmanuel Macron wears suits that cost about 350 euros 370 from a small Parisian retailer, according to Brandon Sun. Whether political calculation or lucky coincidence, the move nicely contrasts with scandal-hit conservative candidate Francois Fillon, accused of elitism for exorbitantly-priced suits paid for by donors, including 13,000 euros 13,800 for two recent suits. With unemployment and economic woes topping voter concerns ahead of France's two-round April 23-May 7 presidential vote, candidates have vied for the most on-message branding. Far-right candidate Marine Le Pen favourssombre suits as she evokes threats against France and takes a hard line on security and immigration. And car factory worker Philippe Poutou, a far-left candidate who took just five weeks off work to run for president, stole the show at the last presidential debate with his messy hair, baggy sweater and sharp tongue that made him look like an Average Joe speaking truth to power. On the other end of the political spectrum, far-left firebrand Jean-Luc Melenchon cultivates a tie-free image in an election shaped by anti-establishment sentiment and jackets that evoke communist leaders.
