    Female politicians get criticized for what they wear on near daily basis. But because men tend to stick to plain old suits—and, oh yeah, because of institutionalized sexism—male politicians usually don't get that kind of flak. Steve Bannon's simultaneous multiple button-down shirts (see below) have recently helped shatter that glass ceiling, and now Trump is here to officially break through.

    This isn't the first time Trump has been dragged for his style choices. For one, his ties have been criticized for being too long and even for being attached with Scotch tape. And of course, the man's hair has been a subject of ridicule for decades.

    Does today's new faux pas mean we get to move on from Tan Suit Gate now?
