Greece’s former finance minister Yanis Varoufakis made it to the 2015 list of style leaders by British newspaper, Guardian. The newspaper states that having style isn’t just about how you look to say something about yourself but also with the way you capture something about the world around you. He made an eclectic list of fashion icons ranging from highbrow writer Joan Didion to pop crooner Justin Bieber and many others.

Thew newspaper rights: “It is so rare that male politicians give style commentators anything other than a new hairdo to deconstruct. What joy then when Varoufakis, the then Greek finance minister, rocked up outside No 10 wearing a leather jacket he’d apparently borrowed from Shaun Ryder’s “It’s great when you’re straight … yeah” years. The bad boy of anti-capitalism has form when it comes to dressing against convention, indeed his peers have made fond reference to his loud shirts and muscle Ts in parliament. To quote the Greek prime minister Alexis Tsipras: “You can blame him as much as you want for his political plan, for his statements, for his taste in shirts … but you cannot accuse him of stealing the money of Greek people.” Tantalisingly, although he has cited Monty Python as an important political influence, Varoufakis declined to admit who has influenced his sartorial swagger. But whether it was indeed Ryder or Grant Mitchell, the economist undoubtedly knows how to let his clothes have their say in the workplace. Respect.”
