The INSIDER Summary:
- For a speech at the University of Chicago — his first since leaving office — Barack Obama wore a gray suit without a tie.
- People on Twitter loved the look, and couldn't get over his decision not to wear a tie, with many tweeting their approval.
Casual, fresh-out-of-the-White-House Barack Obama may be the best Obama.
For his first speech since leaving the White House in January, Barack Obama showed up at the University of Chicago on Monday afternoon in a much more casual look than we've seen him in before.
He arrived in a dark grey suit and a white shirt, which was left unbuttoned at the top without a tie.

And Twitter, eased by his casual presence, flipped over Obama's disregard for the tie.

President Obama looks fantastic! #MSNBC
— Julie (@mrsshephard23) April 24, 2017Absence really does make the heart grow fonder. And that's especially true, apparently, when you're Barack Obama.
