00:00Does any clothing besides a suit suit Barron Trump these days?
00:04Even if it did, you probably won't see him wearing it in public.
00:07Here's why.
00:08Somehow, Barron managed to remain almost completely out of the spotlight during his childhood.
00:12Now that he's turned 18, though, it's possible that Donald's youngest won't stay on the
00:16sidelines quite as much in adulthood.
00:19Whether we see him more in the years to come or not, there's one thing we aren't likely
00:22to ever catch Barron doing, slumming it in his sweats.
00:25Back in 2013, when Barron was 7 years old, his mom, Melania, told ABC News about the
00:30youngster's penchant for always dressing to the nines.
00:33She proudly confirmed, he's not a sweatpants child, he doesn't mind putting on a suit,
00:37but not every day.
00:38And he likes to dress up in a tie, sometimes like Daddy.
00:42In fact, Melania even claimed that she referred to her son as Mini Donald.
00:46Despite Barron's staunchly private tendencies, when he has attended public events over the
00:50years, he typically sports a suit.
00:52Once in a while, he'll throw on some khakis and a nice shirt or jacket, but nothing less
00:56casual.
00:57Clearly, the youngest Trump child appreciates fancy attire more than the average teenager.
01:02But the reason why is complicated.
01:04As Donald Trump's son, Barron has all the opportunities in the world and has surely
01:08had access to more luxuries than the average child, such as random gifts from celebrities.
01:13This is from Barbara Walters.
01:15Melania even claimed that he used high-end moisturizer from her own skincare line when
01:20he was younger.
01:21Speaking about her Caviar Complex CX, which retailed for a whopping $150 per ounce, she
01:27informed ABC News.
01:28I put it on him from head to toe.
01:31He likes it.
01:32Suffice it to say, Barron was raised to have expensive taste.
01:35In addition to likely getting pressure from his parents to look and act posh at all times,
01:40the former first son also has the constant attention from the media and the public to
01:43worry about.
01:44Not all of it positive, either.
01:46Barron was only 11 when a 2017 Daily Caller opinion piece headlined,
01:50It's high time Barron Trump starts dressing like he's in the White House.
01:53Put him on blast for his casual wear.
01:55As the piece argued, the youngest Trump that doesn't have any responsibilities as the
01:59president's son, but least he could do, is dress the part when he steps out in public.
02:04The offending outfit was a pair of shorts and a red graphic tee featuring a shark, in
02:08other words, a typical ensemble for a young boy his age.
02:11Still, next to Barron's suit-clad father and his mom's chic tee-length dress and nude
02:16pumps, the comparatively dressed-down look was enough to elicit some negative press.
02:21Whenever Barron did opt to dress like a typical child in casual attire during Donald Trump's
02:26presidency, his fashion choices often caused a stir.
02:29Thus, it's reasonable to assume that pressure from the outside world may have influenced
02:33the former first son to dress up more, especially considering the fact that he has always seemed
02:38to avoid public attention as much as possible.
02:40Beyond this, his dad also seems hyper-focused on his son's looks.
02:44In fact, the controversial politician often has almost nothing to say about Barron other
02:49than comments on his appearance.
02:52When asked about his youngest child during a 2024 Fox News interview, for instance, Donald
02:57shared,
02:58He's amazing, actually, in a certain way.
03:00He's tall, good-looking, he's a very smart guy, he's a very tall guy.
03:04Barron has surely changed in numerous ways since he was a kid, but when he does make
03:08public appearances, the former first son is still partial to more sophisticated attire.
03:12Who knows, though?
03:13Perhaps someday he'll enter into the whatever, I-do-what-I-want stage that many other celebrities
03:18fall into after being famous for a long enough period of time.
