Robert Burns, the Scottish poet, wore breeches and the Shepherd's Check fabric, which is similar to a tartan plaid. He did not wear a kilt because it was illegal for Lowlanders like him to do so under the Dress Act of 1746. ( Wikipedia)

Bruno Le Maire.

Not properly a statesman, but I think he might suit here. I always admired Prince Michael of Kent's style.

That knot is something else!

Indeed, his "signature".

Swedish Prime Minister - Ulf Kristersson.

While he doesn't dress terribly, I think his trousers do him no favours. He's quite short, and the low rise trousers makes him look like mostly torso. Especially when combined with the high gorges.

Not impressed either, rather dull.

That thick tie knot and probably wide ties along with high spread long(ish) point
collar says "70s" That is probably when he formed his adult style. To me, it looks
like Carnaby Street combined with Jermyn Street and Savile Row. He still looks good at 82.
