Etiquette is a matter of social interaction.
A mannerism used to convey ‘we are in sync’. ‘We see eye to eye’ on most matters that count.
In this picture, one of the two men are dressed ‘inappropriately’. According to the ‘normal’ etiquette.
This is ‘posturing’.
That choice of attire – in flagrant breach of ‘comme il faut’ – is a constant reminder to the rest of the world that he, and his country, are not ‘normal’. Like the rest of us still are. For now…
We can accept his ‘look’. Demonstrating that we feel with him. And with his country!
Or… we can show our ‘true colour’…
