Sunak might currently be wearing shorts in Disneyland, but images of his shrunken trousers flooded social media long before he boarded the plane, accompanied by armchair theories that it was surely a trick to make the 168cm (5ft 6in) prime minister appear taller.
The menswear critic Derek Guy disagreed. "Lots of conspiracy theories on why Sunak wears such short trousers ... but my theory is simple... Sunak is a vaguely trendaware guy, but just a little behind the times," he wrote on Twitter. "I don't think he has a grand theory for how short sleeves and pants make him look taller."
Guy is a writer, critic and prolific Tweeter based in the San Francisco Bay area. He writes a blog, Die, Workwear!, and has half a million Twitter followers. His tweets are censorious without being mean, with Guy saying he only punches up.
