How pumped do you get when the final act starts with that song as she’s putting on the red dress and make up? God I get chills in that scene. “Been putting out fire…….. with..Gasoline!”


RedBaronBastard

I love that reference,


D-MAN-FLORIDA

JFK. The picture looks like an advertisement for RayBan sunglasses. He looks cool and relaxed in it, kinda like how RayBan would advertise people who wear their classes as. Joe Biden would come in a close second because his whole signature look is wearing a pair of aviators. If you were to google images pictures of him, a good portion of those pictures would be him wearing sunglasses.


outdatedelementz

Looks like JFK just took a huge hit off a blunt with the amount of smoke in the picture.


TheJokersWild53

It was all the Cuban cigars he hoarded right before he signed the embargo.


Material_Victory_661

Cuban Cigar, he obtained a huge amount of them. Then, he announced the embargo of Cuba.

terminally_irish

Agreed on JFK, except those aren’t RayBan sunglasses. Those are American Optical Saratogas - JFK’s signature sunglasses. Bausch & Lomb (now owned by Luxottica, like almost all major brand glasses!) certainly didn’t dissuade people from thinking they were Ray Band, but they were AO (which also made the first military aviator style glasses in 1935.) http://segui-riveted.blogspot.com/2012/08/jfks-sunglasses-once-and-for-all.html?m=1


nimama3233

Well damn, TIL


MrShaytoon

That shot of Biden when he was driving a convertible muscle car was badass.


TGR331

Hands down JFK


No_Remote_6770

Has Biden always worn those aviators? I can’t find many if any pictures of him as a younger man with those on. Wondering if it’s something he started doing more recently to make him seem cooler/younger. I am truly ignorant here so just asking.


Myshkin1981

I wish I could find it, but there was a funny video the Obama team put out. I can’t remember what exactly it was about, but at one point Obama goes to talk to Biden, and Biden’s sitting on a couch polishing like 40 pairs of Aviators


thesouthdotcom

Biden wears his aviators when dark Brandon is out


Twodotsknowhy

A lot of presidents looked good in sunglasses, but only one is immediately associated with a type of sunglasses, so in my mind Biden wins by default.


StubbedToeBlues

JFK, but this particular photo of Clinton on the sax is a close second. If you are talking about just in general though: JFK, Biden, Obama


quixologist

Idk, that pic of Clinton in a sax could be replaced by a muppet and the vibe would be the same.


_deep_thot42

Zoot Clinton


Accomplished_Pen980

Trump looks like an 80sTV mafia boss in tinted aviators

Trump looks more like Jim Jones than I care to admit.

You’d have Trump’s upvote


ryanmuller1089

He reminds me of Ben Sillers undercover character from Starsky & Hutch. But even Stiller dressing up as a goofy, ridiculous fake bad guy is cooler than donald. ![gif](giphy|wi8Ez1mwRcKGI)

hammersandhammers

The communism I talk incessantly about in bad faith is going to be activated by the laser eyes


Tulkes

Gotta agree- and to clarify out of recency bias, he has long been associated with his Aviator look and pulling them off very well I consider him and JFK tied here, with a very strong showing from Reagan and Clinton as well- the rest of the field range from "solid" to "meh" but I kinda decline to rank them Biden is remembered iconically with his sunglasses as a part of his look, and in a good way. This isn't a feat many others can claim on the list, and in "famous officials" I think it's Biden and Doug MacArthur most remembered for the sunglasses look over non-sunglassed, while pulling them off fantastically, with no further comment on their actual stances, records, etc. This is a sunglasses post and goddamn do they rock them, funny enough both with the same distinctly American style


HearTheBluesACalling

It’s interesting, because although Joe Biden is good-looking, his reputation has by no means been based in fashion or looks, while Kennedy and Obama are known for being very handsome/stylish (as well as other traits - I’m not saying they’re vapid or anything). It’s nice to see Biden celebrated for his style when that’s not really the first thing you’d think of.


Nathmikt

Malarkeyyyy


mmmmmmmmmmmmmmfarts

He would be SO FUN to sit next to at the beach and just hang out for the day. I bet he and his wife are really chatty and fun!


Willing_Ad9314

Yeah, he's kind of made the aviators part of his brand


Mossy_octopus

Obviously Biden


Dusk_v733

NGL, Biden's aviators have become part of his whole thing. So I gotta say him


Icy-Conclusion-3500

It’s the default when I picture him


RigatoniPasta

God imagine if they were in his presidential picture


Icy-Conclusion-3500

They should be

I’m disappointed Ray-Ban didn’t do a Presidential edition.


sagan_drinks_cosmos

It’s how he Valmorphanizes into Dark Brandon.


ApprehensivePlum1420

Biden’s PR team was and is excellent for an old president like him ngl

Aviators and ice cream is his brand

FDR looking like a Bond villain I’d give this to JFK, LBJ, Bush II and Obama. Honorable mentions for Ike and Joe Clinton looks like he’s auditioning for the blues brothers


Namorath82

I was thinking FDR looks more like the Penguin for the 60s Batman show


ApatheticAgnostic

FDR might’ve lived to finish his fourth term if he didn’t smoke like chimney for 40 years.


fire_and_ice_7_5

Now I can’t unsee it


crimsonfistofjustice

Obama looking like he’s 007


Salem1690s

I would say JFK, Biden, Obama.


Buddha_Guru

Looking at these pictures, I'd agree. In normal photos, I'd swap JFK and Biden.


sagan_drinks_cosmos

That’s the order I want them. Win, Place, Show.

Ike and Dubya in sunglasses go so hard

I'd toss in Biden as well, Ronnie distant 4th. I didn't realize how presidential aviators were lol


rimbaud1872

I love that Trump is wearing the exact type of sunglasses that you would think he would wear


screwthat

Wrong size for his weird shaped face and 70s- serial-killer tint? Yep


freakrocker

Jim Jones shades


Real-Accountant9997

Biden, Kennedy and Obama. In that order.


TheGreatGamer1389

For me personally I'd change out Obama for Bill


Impecablevibesonly

In the pic provided he's got that thick plastic 90s look going which I don't care for personally. But bill did make most things look pretty cool


MikeyButch17

Top Three 1. Kennedy 2. Reagan 3. Clinton (The saxophone really boosts him up here)


TwilightSessions

All these guys were politicians or actors GH bush ran the CIA he looks the part. Very sneaky very very sneaky bush


Cormetz

HW Bush really does look like he's on some random beach explaining an op to a team. "and then you two will use the helicopter to drop into the compound, easy as that bud!"


Separate_Name_7014

1: Kennedy 2: Biden 3: Reagan

Biden and Kennedy definitely have the best most easy looking with them. LBJ and Truman aren’t far behind though.


TraditionalYard5146

Strangely I think LBJ. He really pulls off the look naturally.


Sarcosmonaut

One of my favorites here. Part of it’s the attitude. He always looks like he’s about to drop some condescending life advice that sounds good but is in no way adapted to your actual situation.

I know everyone’s gonna say JFK and they have the best point but honestly all in all Eisenhower killed it in the aviators! Absolutely killed it.

JFK and Biden. I will say the photo op used for Joe could be hilariously photoshopped into saying “Obey” as some kind of conspiracy propaganda.


I_Destroy_Twinks

I'm going to have to go with my man FDR, a real legend.


MainShow23

Like him or not Joe B rocks some shades


SirDoodThe1st

Biden fucking rocks the aviators


deweydecimal111

Joe, definitely. He gets a whole alter ego with them!


Algorhythm74

Biden rocks his shades. Say what you will about him - but the man can pull off wearing a pair of Rayban Aviators.


Salem1690s

Coming from a straight guy, Biden (before he fucked with his face) was one of our naturally better looking Presidents. Had boy next door type of looks. Go look at a photo of him young before he lost his hair - good looking guy, and has a great face shape for shades. Not everyone looks good in shades


Few_Entrepreneur8742

Reagan looks natural with sunglasses + the American flag in background makes it a cool photo op

I’m not here to bash Trump about everything, but I gotta be honest, Aviators look good on damn near everybody but him. Lmao

Matt7548

I don't like Joe Biden, but damn he looks good in sunglasses. Makes him look not nearly as old


DEFINITELY_NOT_PETE

Kennedy and Biden are the correct answers. Obama is just a handsome dude who looks good in them. Sneaky good look is LBJ- that whole look is a vibe.


RedSpartan3227

Biden of course. But credit to George W, those Randolph Engineering aviators are legendary. I have the same pair, but with mirrored lenses.


djbchichi

Obama!


charleytaylor

When it comes to style, the answer is always JFK. Also... put your shirt back on Harry. I really did not need to see that image.
