So that’s how he does it?
Sources told Page Six that Mayor Eric Adams keeps “at least four changes of clothes — including shirts, jackets and ties — hanging in the back of his SUV, so that he can change clothes throughout the day for the photographers.”
The New York Times recently published a piece on the mayor’s sartorial style that was called out as racist by former Mayor Mike Bloomberg aide Howard Wolfson and others for wondering how the mayor affords his dapper outfits on a civil servant’s salary.
Wolfson suggested former Mayor David Dinkins was subjected to the same unfair treatment.
Rev. Al Sharpton has also now weighed in on the issue.
At an MLK Day event in Harlem on Monday, The Post’s Aneeta Bhole reports that Sharpton said, “This nonsense about who pays for his suits and what kind of suits he wears . . . that’s the same game y’all played with [David] Dinkins.”
The New York Times came under fire for writing about Mayor Adams’ style. Angus Mordant for NY Post Sharpton recalled when the press questioned his own outfits. Michael Brochstein/ZUMA / SplashNews.com Adams is a fixture on the city’s social scene. G.N.Miller/NYPostHe added: “When he was wearing too many tuxedos, and going to too many events, I guess black men are supposed to walk around with ripped jeans and showing their underwear? Let us judge the man the way you judge any other man in the United States by his work and his wardrobe.”
Sharpton also recalled, “They play the same playbook . . . when I was young and wore tracksuits and hung out with Spike Lee and Run-DMC and all of that, it was tracksuit out. When I got old and put on a suit to do a TV show, ‘Oh now he dresses.’ Why do y’all judge us by what we dress rather than what we address?”
A rep for Adams did not get back to Page Six’s request for comment.
The mayor is known for always being on the go day and night, from political events to schmoozing.
