JFK is said to have been the most stylish president to date. Sorry Barack, no dad jeans allowed in this club. John F. Kennedy ruled our beloved country with nobility, class, and style. His fashion is still looked at for inspiration after all these years, and in honor of his birthday this Sunday, we'd like to highlight a truly iconic man.
