Many of us may or may not agree with the things Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says or does, but we can agree that he has a funky collection of socks.
Many of us may or may not agree with the things Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says or does, but we can agree that he has a funky collection of socks.
The Canadian Prime Minister’s cool sock collection goes back to the time when he was spotted wearing Chewbacca socks. For those not aware, Chewbacca is part of the Star Wars team that looks to save the Galaxy.
More recently, Trudeau was seen sporting a pair of Darth Vader socks during his trip to the Taj Mahal on the first day of his trip to India. While it wasn’t caught by Indian media, global media had a field time profiling those socks.
On Tuesday, Anand Mahindra, the Chairman of Mahindra Group, too, became a fan of Trudeau’s sock collection. Admitting that his daughters were big fans of the collection as well, Mahindra said, “I told @CanadianPM (who has a great sense of humour) that my daughters would be dismayed I hadn't chosen appropriately colourful socks for the occasion. I decided to admit & have my dismal wardrobe failure photographically recorded! (sic).” The picture has Mahindra sitting with Trudeau and while the latter’s socks are one of the many funky ones from his collection, Mahindra plays it safe with a pair of tradition blue socks.

But it’s not just Justin Trudeau who is a fan of funky socks. Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar, it appears, also pampers himself to socks once in a while, as are former US Presidents Bill Clinton and George HW Bush.

A Sky News report, citing a study titled Red Sneaker Effect conducted by the 2014 Harvard Business Review said, "terms such as "crazy socks" can act as a "particular form of conspicuous consumption" that prompts people to view others more favourably - as long as they are seen in be in control and intentionally displaying non-conforming behaviour, that is."
