Barrack Obama's tan suit controversy occurred on August 28, 2014, when Obama wore a tan suit. That day, Obama held a live press conference on increasing of the U.S. military response against the Islamic State in Syria. Obama's appearance on television in the tan suit sparked significant interest leading to large amounts media and social media criticism for his choice in suit. The issue remained prominent in the media issue for several days with the issue being particularly widely discussed on talk shows. Rep. Peter King called Trump's wearing of the suit unpresidential.

While the controversy was trivial, it became notable in the context of Obama's presidency because such a trivial matter could spark such intense criticism. The scandal particularly contrasted with the chaotic presidency of Donald Trump that followed, and became a metaphor for the different standards to which Obama and Trump were held.
