  • Bernie Sanders showed up to President Biden's inauguration yesterday, and people were in love with his choice outfit and carefree attitude during the ceremony.

  • As a result, people created tons of hilarious memes of Bernie's outfit and seated stance.


President Biden's inauguration was yesterday, and IDK if you noticed, but people were out there serving LOOKS! Vice President Kamala Harris stunned in a beautiful, bipartisan purple coat and dress combo. Michelle Obama caused jaws around the world to drop with her stunning mulberry-colored ensemble and bountiful curls. Dr. Jill Biden left us speechless with her sparkly, jewel-toned turquoise fit too, but the one politician star who stole the show? Bernie Sanders.

Despite the fact that an inauguration is like, one of the biggest political events to occur in American politics, Bernie kept his look utilitarian chic and showed up—and out!—in plain black slacks, oxford shoes, his classic jacket from the "I am once again asking..." memes, and the cutest lil brown mittens. The mittens were enough to send fans of his into a frenzy, but when Bernie sat down in one of the fold up chairs during the proceedings, like so:

People couldn't resist the urge to meme him in every scenario possibly thinkable. Witness some of the most creative Bernie placements below:

Also! If you're looking to get a head start on planning your Halloween costume this year and wanna copy Bernie's now-iconic fit, please note that his mittens are handmade by Vermont-based school teacher Jen Ellis. She isn't taking orders at the moment, but keep you eyes peeled to her Twitter account juuuuust in case.

Bernie's jacket is designed by Burton, a company that sells snowboards and cold weather gear. The exact model of Bernie's coat—the Mens Gore-Tex Edgecomb 3 In 1 Jacket—is also sold out, but set an Amazon in-stock alert if you're just dying to her your hands (or should I say mittens?) on one in the future.
