Barack Obamas style journey started withpleated khakisandshoes with holesin the soles. Its paved withcontroversial tan suits, infamousdad jeansand, most recently, coolleather jackets.

The former president, whohas always had a keen sense of swagger, went from fur-collared jackets to business suits, and from presidential suits to swimsuits. These days, even his professional wear is a bit less buttoned-up (literally and figuratively).

Former first lady Michelle Obama and super stylish daughters Malia and Sasha get most of the attention in the family when it comes to style, but its time we give Obama credit for the fashion icon hes become in his own right. (He had so far to go!)

In honor of his 56th birthday on August 4, were taking a look back at the former head of states sartorial evolution over the years.

Sigh. The nostalgia is real.
