We were expecting it. Well, that’s it, we’re at the turning point of this presidential campaign. It all started from that: a few days ago on France Inter, a listener asked Yannick Jadot a question: “Will you wear a tie one day if you are President of the Republic? You could wear a green tie, for example“
Finally some real stuff! And Yannick Jadot’s response: “The question arises… I will tell you very honestly: at some point, I would take out the tie“.

And this given moment arrived on Sunday January 30 at TF1’s 8 p.m. news. For the first time in his political career, Yannick Jadot therefore put on a tie.
The subject rose on social networks, in the press, Paris Match wondered: “Can you imagine General de Gaulle not wearing a tie?” Yannick Jadot’s team even mentioned the subject on its Twitch channel on Monday January 31, with this fashion advice: you have to wear the tie in a detached way, if you want to respect the green look.
It must be said that this tie story is quite a story. And we’ve always been passionate about fashion. 1985: Jack Lang, Minister of Culture tries a little madness in the Assembly with the Mao collar. In 2016, Nicolas Sarkozy placed a small tackle on the style of Emmanuel Macron without a tie at the time…
But obviously, this chronicle could not end otherwise than with the “King”, the king, the lord of the tie, often criticized, never equaled: François Hollande will therefore have the final word. “I’m going to come back to this crooked tie story. It’s the action that counts, not the appearance. Better a crooked tie and a straight thought than the opposite“. And Bam.
