US President Barack Obama admitted Tuesday he's a little frumpy, but brushed aside suggestions that he should pay greater attention to fashion.
"Here's my attitude. Michelle, she looks fabulous. I'm a little frumpy," Obama laughed in an interview with NBC.
He was defending himself after the US fashion police let out howls of horror over the so-called old-fashioned "Dad jeans" that the president wore to throw the first pitch at a Saint Louis baseball match last week.
"I hate to shop. Those jeans are comfortable. And for those of you who, you know, want your president to, you know, look great in his tight jeans, I'm sorry, I'm not the guy," he shrugged.
And he admitted that he would not be caught dead in any "low-rider" jeans. "Sorry ... it just doesn't fit me. I'm not 20," he said ruefully.
The president of the United States also admitted that "basically, up until a few years ago, I only had four suits."
First Lady Michelle Obama, who has swiftly become a fashion icon for her style and elegance, "used to tease me because they'd get really shiny," he added.

美國總統貝拉克?奧巴馬本周二承認自己有一點老土,但對于要他多關注時尚的建議,卻置之不理。
在接受美國國家廣播公司采訪時,奧巴馬笑道:“我覺得,米歇爾看上去很時尚,而我自己卻有點老土。”
奧巴馬上周在圣路易斯為棒球比賽開球時穿了一條過時的“爸爸褲”之后,美國的“時尚衛士”們大呼這種穿法非常“嚇人”,而奧巴馬的此番評論正是在為自己辯護。
他聳聳肩,說到:“我不喜歡逛街。那樣的牛仔褲很舒服。你知道,有些人想看到他們的總統身穿緊身牛仔褲秀身材,很抱歉,我不是那樣的人。”
他還承認自己不會穿低腰牛仔褲。他遺憾地說:“對不起,我不適合穿低腰褲。我不是二十幾歲的人了。”
這位美國總統還承認:“事實上,幾年前,我只有四套西裝。”
美國第一夫人米歇爾?奧巴馬憑借其穿衣風格和優雅的姿態已經迅速成為時尚偶像。奧巴馬說“她以前還嘲笑我,因為我那些衣服看起來太亮了。”
