Say that to Churchill... :D

No, there's definitely no "dress code" in those circles.

A dress code is specifically something you impose to lower-ranking ones. That's why Trump did not like it, and why this journalist seemed upset: they couldn't bear that Zelenski was not submitting to their, very closed-minded WASP dress code for underlings.

When you're the head of state, or in power circles, there's something else, that's called a _dress standing_, which is different and opens a much wider area of possibilities.

And by that standard, boy, did Zelensky outfit outranked everyone else's in the office!

What about Churchill? His style looks like a slightly dated imperial dress code, because he was a fan of the British Empire.

When he came to the White House during WWII? Was in soldier outfit.

Oh wow, Churchill really was wearing a uniform when he visited the white house.
