Pope Francis recognized as the most stylish person of 2013

Esquire, an American magazine specializing in men's fashion, has placed Pantifica in first place in the ranking of the most stylish and elegant celebrities of 2013

Pope Francis is liked by absolutely everyone. It was as if he “came from the edge of the earth” and in less than a year he won the hearts of people in all corners of the planet: adults and children, zealous and not so religious believers, simple workers and prominent politicians.

The prestigious weekly magazine Time has already chosen him as "Person of the Year 2013" because Dad has become the "new voice of conscience." Now, American magazine Esquire, the true Bible of style, has declared Pope Francis "the most stylish man of 2013."

For the first time in history, the Pontiff entered the fashion rating and won recognition for his elegance and taste in clothing. And at the same time, the very same journalists who awarded him such an honorary title acknowledge that their decision is extremely unusual.

If you think deeply, such a choice of first place seems more like a symbol: the image of Pope Francis is absolutely decent and restrained, devoid of any excesses and luxuries often inherent in the clergy. This style, in fact, is a model for millions of people seeking to find beauty in simple things. By the way, Francis became the first Pope who refused to wear the famous red shoes, considering them too fanciful, almost a symbol of excessive wealth and praise for them.

“His way of dressing reflects his inner world,” commented Mark-Evan Blackman, associate professor of men's clothing design at FIT (Fashion Institute of Technology - New York's world-famous college of art, business and technology in the fashion industry). - Pope’s decision to abandon red shoes has become a sign reflecting his attitude to his role and his duties and privileges. "

“Pope Francis,” writes Esquire, “expressed a lot with his symbolic deeds. For example, paying for accommodation at a Vatican-owned hotel. Or washing the feet of prisoners on juvenile delinquents on Maundy Thursday. In other words, Papa understood that men's attire reflects the character of the man who wears".

Pope Francis chooses only white clothes, does not wear expensive accessories or jewelry. He is a father who wants to be closer to the people even in choosing a clothing style that is simple and no frills, leaving only the most necessary insignia reflecting his status.
