The Worst Dressed Dictators of All Time

The Five Worst Dressed Dictators

You would think those people who seek power, influence, and attention the most, would care about how they presented themselves by the way they dress. After all, clothing can have a huge impact on how we are perceived by others. Surprisingly though, when it comes to the wardrobe choices of some of the world's most powerful men, fashion and style often falls by at the wayside. This phenomenon now inspired us to take a closer look at the wardrobe choices of some of the world's most notorious dictators. After analyzing the style choices of dozens of dictators, tyrants, and totalitarians, we nominate the five men below as "Worst Dressed" of them all.

#1 Muammar Gaddafi
Although there was some tight competition to be the Worst Dressed Dictator of all time, Mr Muammar Gaddafi has earned himself the top spot. His flashy gold colored robes, 1990s era sunglasses, and crazy homeless man's hair were all solid reasons to give Gaddafi the #1 spot on this list. Read the full story here...

#2 Kim Jong-il
It was a close running for the first place, but eventually we ranked the North Korean dictator only as the second worst dressed on this list. His Ronald McDonald style haircut, over-sized shades, and baggy safari suit all contributed. To read the full story, please click here...

#3 Fidel Castro
From solid olive colored military ensemble to his tri-colored Adidas track suit, Fidel Castro's wardrobe choices will not earn him any style points. Add the scruffy beard, and wire frames glasses that are too big for his face, and you have yourself the 3rd worst dressed dictator of all time. Click here to read the entire story.

#4 Robert Mugabe
In fourth place on our list is 87-year old Marxist president Robert Mugabe. Baseball caps and loud and clashing colors were certainly reasons to nominate him for this "worst dressed list", but what convinced us more than anything else is the fact that Mugabe actually started his own clothing line using his signature as the logo.

#5 Hugo Chavez
Did anyone tell Mr Chavez that "red is the new black"? Looking at dozens of pictures it becomes evident that Mr Hugo Chavez certainly loves this color not just politically but also for his clothing. From all red suits, bright red ties, or solid red red dess shirts, Mr Chavez wears them all - unfortunately all the the same time far too often. Here are all the reasons why the Venezuelan come in at #5 of our worst dressed dictator list. Click here to read more...
