It’s been a trying few weeks for Rishi Sunak, the British prime minister. The media is awash with reports that he is unable to control his Cabinet, backbenchers, or his party. He seems to be lacking gravitas and authority. Could it be due to his clothes?
The problem is that Rishi just doesn’t look ministerial. To begin with, he has a slight figure and is reportedly only five feet six inches tall—shorter than his fellow “short king,” Emmanuel Macron, and a similar height to Vladimir Putin. But Sunak’s working wardrobe does him no favors.
