Arguments for "Yes"

The arguments in favor of a "Yes" resolution generally fell into three categories: media mentions, visual comparison, and interpretation of suit criteria.

There were substantially fewer arguments in favor of a "Yes" resolution, as the general consensus held that: (1) the outfit did not qualify as a suit, (2) very few media outlets reported on Zelenskyy's outfit at all, and (3) The New York Times was the only credible source that explicitly described it as a suit.

Media Mentions

Flipadria pointed to The New York Times' description of Zelenskyy as "wearing a black suit" as support for a "Yes" resolution.

Visual Comparison

Refused68 emphasized that the Berlin outfit looked more structured and formal than the one worn during the Vatican appearance.

Interpretation of Suit Criteria

Pingu argued that the outfit qualified as a Mao suit, which should count under a broader definition.

Oxymirin stated that a suit, by definition, only requires a jacket and matching trousers.

Coming Up

With the "Yes" arguments outlined, we’ll now turn to a closer examination of the case for a "No" resolution in the next chapter.
