Putin is showing off even more designer clothes: After outrage over a £10,000 Russian president jacket, the haute couture leader was also seen wearing an £8,800 watch and £605 sneakers.
- Putin went to the rally in a down jacket, which cost 25 times more than the average monthly salary in the country.
- He paired the jacket with a £2,400 turtleneck sweater from Italian brand Kiton.
- Putin is also a fan of the £8,800 black Blancpain Grande Date Acqua Lung watch.
- He was also seen wearing £605 suede-trimmed Loro Piana sneakers.
While Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is famous for his green khaki T-shirt, his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin chose a £10,000 Loro Piana jacket for his appearance at a stadium rally last week.
As Russia feels the impact of the sanctions, it is unclear which of Putin’s aides thought it wise for him to wear a coat that costs 25 times the country’s average monthly wage.
Putin, who paired a puffer jacket with a £2,400 turtleneck sweater from Italian brand Kiton, told 200,000 people at Moscow’s Luzhniki Stadium that his invasion of Ukraine was aimed at protecting the “human values” of all Russians.

One critic tweeted: “While Russians are fighting over food in stores, Putin addressed the Russians wearing a Loro Piana jacket worth 1.5 million rubles.”
Putin’s physique appeared bulky during the speech, sparking rumors that he was wearing a bulletproof vest under his coat. There were also claims that much of the crowd was paid or forced to be there.
On the contrary, President Zelenskiy’s decision to choose a T-shirt has established a connection with Ukrainians, although not everyone is happy.
Following Zelensky’s recent speech by video link to the US Congress, economist Peter Schiff, who once ran as a Republican senatorial candidate, tweeted: “I understand times are tough, but doesn’t the president have a suit?”
