Zelensky's decision not to wear a suit at the two leaders' February meeting in Washington sparked a testy exchange. The White House requested that Zelensky wear a suit and tie for Monday's meeting.

Zelensky set to show up in ‘suit-style' for Oval Office meeting after Trump whined about his attire last time
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky will wear a 'suit-style' jacket during his meeting with President Donald Trump in the Oval Office — months after Trump made jokes about his attire during a White House meeting that descended into a shouting match. The White House reportedly asked Ukrainian officials if Zelensky would wear a suit ahead of Monday's meeting in D.C. with top European leaders and the US president, two sources told Axios. The high-stakes meeting comes months after Trump welcomed Zelensky into the West Wing and made jabs about his customary military-style attire, jokingly telling the press, 'he's all dressed up today.' Zelensky is set to wear the same black jacket he wore to a June NATO summit in the Netherlands, which sources described as being 'suit-style' but not a full suit. That summit marked the first time Zelensky had donned a business-style jacket since Russia launched its war on Ukraine in 2022 — and the fashion choice impressed Trump, according to the report. One Trump advisor jokingly told Axios that 'it would be a good sign for peace' if Zelensky dressed up on Monday, but added, 'We don't expect him to do it.' Another source added: 'It would be great if he wore a tie, but we don't expect him to.' During Zelensky's last White House visit, it was reportedly Vice President JD Vance who was more annoyed than Trump by the Ukrainian leader's understated fashion choices, particularly that he was without a tie, according to the report. Zelensky will not wear a tie on Monday, the sources added. Trump's irritation during Zelensky's last visit, which descended into a shouting match, was about more than just his fashion choices, and the US president's advisors say this time should go more smoothly. "They've traveled very, very far, both of them. Zelensky will not show him pictures of dead children and then act like it's somehow his fault. The president has learned to just sort of like, you know, file away any irritations and go forward,' a Trump advisor told Axios. Zelensky will also be joined by neighboring European leaders in a show of unity. The meeting is set to be held Monday at 3 p.m. EST, and comes after Trump met with Russian leader Vladimir Putin in Alaska on Friday. Trump is now pushing Zelensky to strike a peace deal without Crimea and NATO membership instead of an immediate ceasefire – backing Moscow's position. During the meeting, Putin agreed to let the US and its European allies offer Ukrainian security guarantees, US envoy Steve Witkoff said. "President Zelenskyy of Ukraine can end the war with Russia almost immediately, if he wants to, or he can continue to fight," Trump said on Truth Social. "No getting back Obama given Crimea... and NO GOING INTO NATO BY UKRAINE. Some things never change!!!" At least 10 people were killed in Ukraine after Russia launched 144 drones and missiles overnight, Kyiv said, in an attack described by Mr Zelensky as 'demonstrative and cynical.'

Garden Party Attire: Shop Pieces Perfect for Lawns, Rosé, and Romance
Below, our definitive Vogue guide to garden party attire—what to wear, what to avoid, and the best pieces to shop now in every category. Mini Dresses There's something irresistibly flirty about a mini dress when worn beneath sun-dappled trees. Garden parties are among the rare occasions where a shorter hemline can feel both whimsical and refined—especially when styled. This season, consider Magda Butrym's painterly floral off-shoulder silhouette or Khaite's raspberry-cream Pranta slip with architectural lines. For a touch of play, Pucci's print mesh and Staud's pleated embellished poplin mini bring energy to the lawn. Style with a raffia clutch and a block heel to balance whimsy with polish. Midi Dresses Consider the midi dress the true workhorse of garden party attire. Neither too prim nor too revealing, it offers the ideal length for moving gracefully between lawn chairs and canapé trays. This summer's highlights include Prada's butter-yellow pleated sheath, Stella McCartney's lace-trimmed satin midi with boudoir undertones, and Bernadette's painterly belted dress with a demure boat neckline. For a high-low moment, Mango's strapless floral option strikes a sweet note. Pair these with kitten heels and a bit of glinting jewelry, and you're well-suited for weddings, showers, or any garden gathering that demands a touch of ceremony. Maxi Dresses If the invitation leans formal—or if you simply wish to make an entrance—there's no greater ally than a floor-sweeping dress. Cara Cara's pleated strapless gown in crisp floral cotton evokes the grandeur of an English conservatory, while Sir's slinky silk slip dress printed with muted botanicals offers a subtler take. For those drawn to color, La DoubleJ's Penelope dress in zesty yellow reads like a walking sunbeam. Prefer stripes? Try the Laura linen sundress for a casual but considered statement. These sweeping silhouettes require little else—perhaps a sleek bun and delicate gold jewelry to finish the look. Separates While dresses may dominate, separates offer a welcome alternative, especially for those looking to wear their pieces long after the party ends. This season, Cara Cara's pleated cotton poplin skirt and matching tie-front shirt make a case for coordinated drama, while Simon Miller's striped poplin button-up and Pia pants nod to playful minimalism. Isabel Marant's tiered halterneck top and paisley-print mini skirt offer a more bohemian spirit—ideal for more relaxed affairs. Each combination can be just as garden-appropriate as a dress, particularly when styled with personality: a bold hair clip, a vintage brooch, or oversized sunglasses. Agua by Agua Bendita Reserva bustier top $390 NET-A-PORTER Agua by Agua Bendita Bergamota midi skirt $890 NET-A-PORTER Accessories No garden ensemble is complete without the finishing touches, and this is where whimsy and utility meet. Staud's ribbon-trimmed sunhat is both sculptural and practical, while Mango's braided leather bag and Loewe's floral cotton pouch bring texture without distraction. For evening affairs, consider Prada's fringed crochet clutch in a grassy green. Add polish with Bottega Veneta's cat-eye sunglasses and Lelet NY's delicate claw clip—accessories that feel intentional without being overwrought. The rule here is simple: your accoutrements should complement the garden, not compete with it.

The 39 definitive rules of office fashion
The phrase 'business casual' is an opportunity and a curse. On the plus side: You have so many options! On the negative side: You have so many options! And so many ways to screw up. Business attire demands a suit, regardless of gender. But business casual — well, is that khakis and a polo? Jeans and a T-shirt with a blazer? A dress and sneakers?
